Much of the film’s success owes to what it doesn’t reveal. Screenwriters Noah Oppenheim, Grant Pierce Myers, and T.S. Nowlin wisely refuse to explain the world’s larger conspiracy. We learn about the solar flares, the disease "The Flare," and WCKD (World In Catastrophe: Killzone Experiment Department) only in fragments. Instead, the audience is confined to Thomas’s perspective — confused, desperate, and piecemealing clues.
