Movie Reviews of Cube
Movie Review: Don't miss this one.
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw this movie 6 years ago. I still watch it every now and then. I enjoyed it so much and everyone I showed it to enjoyed it. It is about 6 people from different backgrounds who wake up one day to find themselves locked in a room (Cube) with six doors leading to other rooms. Each room has some sort of hidden mechanical torture device. The movie is about why what and how. The Cube.. who built it? Why were they thrown there? How to escape? Etc...
If you are a mathematician -or understand math for that matter- you'll appreciate the accuracy of the puzzle aspect of the movie.. Truly well done. It's a rarity among movies and very refreshing to see a movie where the movie maker actually done some research. The plot in my opinion is solid and if you think there are holes in the plot then look again and watch it again. It's worth it. Some people describe the movie as "too mechanical" but I think that was the point of the movie. Not to ruin it for anyone who didn't watch but after seeing it you'll get what the movie maker is trying to say.
As for the DVD version, not much additions. Just some deleted scenes.
BTW AVOID the sequel. It is named "Hypercube". Totally rubbish.
Movie Review: It's a not so subtle plug for math
Summary: 5 Stars
Well, if I was one of these six poor bloaks who woke up and found themselves in a slice and dice gasing manic killer cube contraption thing, and dependent on some sort of complicated theorem to surive, I'd be for sure ... in my pants. It isn't pleasant to be human steaks, I believe. And that's what this movie is [on the surface] about. It's about a human rat maze. But this is a crazy Canadian film, and it's not just about the suspense, which is why it's a good scary, psychological flick. It's about a handful of people who need each other to survive but are victims of their own weaknesses, greed, selfishness, and compulsive need to be the survivor, at any cost. When the dark side of human nature begins to crack each one under the pressure, it becomes clear that the cube [while pretty ... scary] isn't the only thing they need to fear. In the grand tradition of Hitchcock and Twilight and Hitchhiker, this is a creepy thinker. Don't expect grand scale Hollywood hoopla, this is just simple, ..., original screenplay working well on a normal budget. This is a trippy movie worth renting...... I do believe there was an American version released, but i hear it's wholly inadequate to the original.Movie Review: AWESOME! INSANE SCI-FI AT IT'S BEST!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is probably one of the greatest sci-fi movies ever made. Now before you go and judge this movie based on the sypnosis, six strangers who wake up in a cube full of deathtraps with no way out, and start thinking that this is a bad movie, i want to explain to you that the point of this movie is to get your brain working and thinking. Ho did the people get in the cube? Who built the cube? Where is the cube? These unanswered questions are what keeps the movie going, and with every second you want an explanation, you find yourself loving the movie.In the cube are six people, a doctor, a maniacal cop, a mentally ill guy, a teen math genius, an escape artist, and a quiet loner dude who mysteriously keeps to himself and knows more about the cube than anyone else. Its intense and keeps you on the edge of your seat as you wait and see who gets by the trap and who doesn't (i almost had a heart attack when they found the sound sensored room, youll understand when you see it) The end is also cool, wait till you find out who survives...
SEE THIS MOVIE......if you don't, well you are missing out on some great entertainment.
Movie Review: Everything - EVERYTHING - Is Unexpected
Summary: 5 Stars
One of the most enigmatic and unpredictable movies going, "Cube" is perhaps best described as....what? A top-rate mystery meeting top-of-the-line science fiction? A horror technothriller? It's going to depend on what you individually make of this - perhaps it's could even be described as a cross between a movie and a mind puzzle? A group of strangers begins waking up, alone at first, in Nearly identical rooms inside an incomprehensible structure of some kind, with no memory of how they got there, and eventually encounter one another as they try to find their way out and figure out what's happening. Quickly though, they learn that some of the rooms are....I don't want to say booby-trapped, because that sounds too simple. 'Deathtrapped' might be a more approrpiate designation. This is just in the first few minutes and I don't want to go any further, because the twists start early. With very few movies would it be so inappropriate to say too much about what happens as it moves along, because this is a movie where you truly don't know what's going on (in an Extremely good way) or what's coming. First-rate all the way.Movie Review: An Excellent Movie, if...
Summary: 5 Stars
you understand it for what it is supposed to be. I have exposed several people to this movie who got to the end, and said, "So?" Well, they didn't get it. The thing that separates this from your average Hollywood release is that this is an intense character sketch with a lot of information that needs to be carefully considered. In addition, the themes of the movie need to be examined. There is a lot of subtextual (as it were) information in this movie that you need to understand and consider before you can properly decide if you like this movie or not. I think that one of my favorite parts of this movie though is the ending. It jibes extremely well with my own particular worldview, and I think that the ending reinforces what Worth was saying throughout the movie. The movie is very suspenseful, well made, and the ending rocks.
I highly recommend this movie with other luminaries, like Fight Club, Chasing Amy, The Crow, and Donnie Darko. Check them all out, think, and you will realize that the world isn't as Damned as we may like to believe.
