Maze Runner: The Death Cure [SteelBook] [Blu-ray/DVD] [Only @ Best Buy] [2018]

I have to preface this by saying I have not read any of the books. After finally being convinced to watch these 3 movies I am so glad I took the time to do so. The first 2 movies were amazing and this movie definitely held up to the quality of the others. Highly recommend. I really want there to be a 4th!! PS, I 'm glad I was able to grab the steelbook of this.

I love this movie and I can’t wait till the next one comes out

Great movies works great with no problems at all would buy again

So, kind of like The Matrix or most any sci-fi trilogy this is the weakest story of the three. It's certainly not awful but, it doesn't really wrap things up so much as expose all the maguffins that were used to prop up the script. You'll be saying three or four times "but, what about" and then basically give up. But, as a rescue story and series capper it's worth owning. The 4K picture, however, is an absolute gold standard. I have the first two in the series on Blu Ray (only got this in 4K because no Blu Ray at the store) and the difference in the 4K is remarkable. I am usually fine with the upscaling from Blu Ray but, wow this is truly different. I saw an online broadcast of this in "HD" and it was absolutely foggy compared to this disc. The blues and reds here are just stunning and while they're doing all their action stuff you'll be looking at everything because it is rendered in the finest detail. You many owe your brain an apology for the story but, your eyes are going to feast.

Being a middle aged man who grew up on action heroes of the 80's, I never gave a second chance to any of these teen-centric movies. When I saw the trailer for the third Maze Runner I gave this a second chance and rented it. And loved it. I have no prior knowledge of the books so the mystery presented here drew me in. The camaraderie of the boys and some of their wisdom beyond their years took them past the teenage nonsense I was afraid of. The production value is sky high, the music is fantastic, acting is excellent, and the tension fills the room. The plot moves well and is smooth enough to cover up some of the small holes. I expected a little Lord of the Flies and it's there but minor. The maze sequences were Indiana Jones quality. What I did was put myself in the situation with them, what would I be doing? I'd be with the hero. And that makes it a great experience.

I opted to buy this as the price was a bit marked down and it included both UHD (4k) disc and Blu Ray disc along with Digital. Sadly, there is no way to know that the particular digital (which I tend to use Vudu) was "HDX" as opposed to UHD. This is more than annoying. Some purchases (like the 8 disc set of Harry Potter) provide UHD - 4k digital and some are like Death Cure. Both discs play well and about what is to be expected. The 4k version is just slightly better than the Blu Ray and the "HDX" digital is playable though a disappointment.

This movie is great, has amazing FUNNY lines, fast action, really sets a nice pace. The sound is great, can't say enough good things about the sound, it has what you expect for the money you spend on a disk of this magnitude, the money they spent was well placed. You get high quality content. The CGI is so realistic you forget its CGI and just fall into the story and lose yourself in the emotion and staging of the drama and action.
