The Breakdown

  • Heroic sacrifice and loyalty as core themes
  • Practical maze sets and stunts over CGI crutch
  • Source thesis mostly intact — duty over despair
  • YA formula and some franchise setup creep
  • Sequel slop diluted the original voice

Side Effects

endless corridors, one way out, zero soy in the script
