Movie Reviews of Cube 2 - Hypercube
Movie Review: It's not THAT bad, really,
Summary: 3 Stars
I have to admit, that I have liked the first Cube more, this one was still a fun/weird movie to watch. It's just a completly different movie genre than many people are used to.A survivor, lost people story that isn't happening in the woods but in a game/trap world. This Cube is much more advanced, with mostly CG effects that are the killing traps, and it gets confusing when the gravity, time and dimentions collapse into one another.
I didnt mind the ending really, I dont always need all the answers on a silver platter in order to enjoy a movie. It's not just about the end, it's about everything you experience watching it.
Overall, this is more modern, fast and graphic, the Cube is white inside, and the doors open with a touch of a palm. It feels like a big square spaceship, where as the original Cube felt more like an ancient creation.
Movie Review: Not Really a Sequel
Summary: 3 Stars
Despite its title, this film must be taken on its own terms and not compared to the landmark "Cube." On those terms, it has excellent special effects (including a knock-your-socks-off soundtrack). But (as many previous reviewers have noted) it is seriously lacking in character development and dialogue; I never came to feel I really knew -- let alone developed any empathy with -- any of the protagonists as they babbled their repetitious lines.In summary, if you liked this movie -- or even if you didn't -- you would probably also enjoy the (entirely different) movie "Cube."
Movie Review: Silly.
Summary: 3 Stars
i gave this movie three stars only because of the science that was explained behind the cube being a tesseract. It is akin to quantum physics/mechanics and actually represents possibilities of how the universe is formed on a larger scale. Black holes being the virtual doorways and each universe having different laws and so forth.
Cube1 and Cube Zero had darker themes. This similar setting would have helped this movie to be more enjoyable. there are very few movies I find to be a waste of time. This one is one of them.
Watch once for the science, and then use as a coaster.
Movie Review: Chinese puzzle box with people inside
Summary: 3 Stars
"The question is did he solve it, before he died?"
The idea is to connect up a five dimensional space time
with doors in the six sides of each cube.
Putting people in as rats in the maze is a sort of
inhumanity twist ( specially the old lady with Alzheimer's disease and the blind girl). An older version "pre" the first sequel exists from the 60's
I think. So the movie is a remake of an old sci fi film
jazzed but to make it harder...
The reality collapse of the in-folding of the cubes toward the end of
the cycle leads to ....
Movie Review: Not as good as the first, but engaging nonetheless...
Summary: 3 Stars
After seeing the first one, I went out and rented this one. I wasn't too dissapointed, but I wasn't too thrilled with it either. Basically the same premise with a whole bunch of new twists and characters. It's good enough to keep you interested, and the writing isn't too bad. There are some plot holes here and there, and plenty of cheesy special effects, but it was good. I am still trying to decide whether I liked the ending or not. Other than that...Recommended!
