"You'd better be."
The daftest and dullest of the recent YA-lit-spawned franchises returns with a slight improvement on the first film but remain very minor fare. 3D and mise-en-scene are used very effectively throughout, but the story is nonsensical and tonal shifts are perplexing at times. All four young leads have improved since the first outing , and Winslet is less pantomime here and much more coolly efficient. It all descends into madly overblown Matrix-style VR nonsense in the final act,. which leaves the series - curiously - in exactly the same position as last year's superior The Maze Runner...
