Title: Cube Post by: MahrinSkel on August 26, 2012, 01:27:19 AM It's hard to explain this movie, it's sort of Saw (without as much gore) as a mathematical/geometry puzzle with everything happening in a nearly infinite series of identical rooms. It's worth seeing, IMO, as are the sequels (Hypercube replaces the mechanical elements of the first with "4th dimension" technobabble that's never adequately explained and mostly poor CGI gore, Cube Zero is more primitive in aesthetic but had a much higher budget and more gore).
If you are watching the whole trilogy at once, do not watch Cube Zero first. --Dave Title: Re: Cube Post by: Hawkbit on August 26, 2012, 01:38:39 AM The first one had a ton of potential until they decided to make it a gorror movie. In concept, it was a great idea. The execution, not so much.

It's imagination made up for its other shortcomings for me. Haven't seen the other "Cube" films, but did like "Cypher" by the same director.

"Hypercube" made less sense and had a lot of jarring bad CGI. "Cube Zero" was fun, but definitely best watched after "Cube".
