Maze Runner - Scorch Trials Movie Review

Megan & I had a movie and dinner date at the Blue Room Cini bar.
We watched "Maze Runner - Scorch Trials"
#####SPOILER ALERT #######
Hmm
Lots of tension at times.
Really nasty zombies
Thomas is like Harry Potter (chosen one).
No one takes a shower or goes to the toilet
Even though most of the film is set in desert conditions,  you never see water yet no one complains of thirst nor drinks - except once we see someone finish a water bottle and throw it away.
It felt a bit like 3 separate movies stuck together.
The first one reminded me of avitar. The techo fortress full of lights and locked doors. Scientists soldiers and technology. Of course these guys are upto no good and our heros have to escape through a network of convieniently large air conditioning ducts.
Then into the dessert.  Sand, super storms and half destroyed cities.  Think "I am ledgend" / planet of the apes etc.
Then suddenly a couple of scenes with normal people. Al be it dressed in rags but with power from a small generator.  But of course corruption is in the wind.
Then our heros escape in a car.  To date landscapes have been dominated by sand or building rubble. We have had pictures of road choked with dead & distroyed cars. Now we have a beautifully bitumen road with out a wreck in sight.
Finally its the scene where our heros meet the good guys but one of our band bad guys
