It’s not often my opinion of a film changes drastically from one day to the next. I’ll enjoy a film as soon as it’s over, but the next day, I’ll reflect and think, “Wait, this part doesn’t make sense. Why would this character behave this way? Is this really how they explained this plot point?” My enjoyment clashes with my analysis and starts a judgment war in my brain, likely to cause a migraine. So, what film this week has reignited the feud between the left and right sides of my brain? The Maze Runner.
