Rating: Summary: psych drama keeps you thinking long after tv is off Review: The thing that really got me about this movie (besides the ending) was that the person who seems the strongest ends up being the weakest. It is so enthralling to watch this character slowly lose it. I also thought, as I saw it, that while each character may have had a talent or knowledge or ability to help them get out, they each also seemed to have a deep, hidden flaw that ultimately dooms them. Best human psychology film of 1998-99 year!
Rating: Summary: Cube Review: I really loved this movie. Definitly thought about it for a few days after. Don't think I would own it just because it kind of a "one trick pony." I really liked the fact that they didn't all fall in line like most formula movies. I think it represents how most people would act together in such a situation and not how most movies would like us to act. The cube didn't kill them, the power strugle did. See it and you will have to make someone else see just to have someone to talk to.
Rating: Summary: What can I say? Cube was GOOD. Review: Cube is one of those movies that really gets to you, like "Arlington Road" or Stephen King's novella "The Long Walk." Is the ending good or bad? You'll be thinking about that for weeks after watching it. I feel it could have ended better, we as an audience have grown quite used to the tragic endings, and would have rather seen it end on a better note. (Who wouldn't?) And how in the world did they not hear/see the killer approaching? Too cliche. But it is a GOOD movie. How can I say that? Just watch for yourself.
Rating: Summary: Just mind twisting Review: This movie is just great. Every room they enter they just go a little mad. And no one trust any one any more. Just human nature to survive. And the last part of the movie totaly unpredicable. (Not really if you know how humans think!) And there is nog gore or a lot of blood.
Rating: Summary: Useless movie Review: I tell everyone I know not to waste their time with this movie. The acting is terrible, the characters boring stereotypes, and the plot trite and insipid. Supposedly there is a deeper meaning to it all, a laughable (and feeble) attempt to find meaninglessness in our actions and existence. People are pulled from their beds and into a box, where one wrong move will kill and staying where you are is the best way to stay alive. The characters each have something to offer in puzzling their way out, math skills, strength, etc. but it all blows up when they get sick of being around each other and start developing silly personality tics.
Rating: Summary: The Cubes Have It Review: This movie, first off, was a low production film I assume. But, that dosn't really matter, since this film takes place entirely within many different cubes. Anyway, this movie is sort of odd when you start to see it. We meet up with 5 people who are all in this giant cube area and must move from cube to cube to find there way out, however, they need to find this out first. On there way to find it out, they encounter traps of somewhat gory endings and also find another person on the way. Later on, they find that they need team work to escape this thing and some impressive math skills, however, some people don't want to work together. Buy this film.
Rating: Summary: NOT the standard gore Review: Cube is not a standard blood and gore movie. The characters are archtypes and develop as one watches them. Order, chaos, law, justice, bravery, inner strength are modeled within the characters. The plot is basic. A number of characters trapped in a box. This box has different rooms, some with deadly traps hidden to the eye. The characters work together to escape, but their hidden fears, biases and distrust undermine them. This movie will appeal to intelligent viewers looking for more than blood. The motivations and drives of the characters will keep the viewer "hooked" to the very end.
Rating: Summary: Cube-ism... Review: Despite some really bad over-acting (by almost all the cast) I found this film to be quite interesting and 'different'...something you don't find all that often these days in film. Keeps you on the edge of your seat and guessing through-out...so if you can tolerate the acting problem you are in for a treat.
Rating: Summary: Simply WOW Review: I can't understand why all the critics booed this movie. Talk about underrated! Cube is one of those. Despite some drawbacks, this movie was VERY impressive. Just imagine that for almost two hours, the rather creepy setting whereas the action unfolds, does not change once. What you see in the opening scene is what you see till the movie ends. Yet you're superglued to the screen this entire time. Soon you get sort of paranoid as you're forced to stare at the interlocking, totally identical rooms (with difference only in their color schemes) that assemble a giant maze in the form of a cube. This movie, in brief, is an allegory of life in all its aspects. You're stuck in a cube, you don't know who put you there and why, what your purpose is, or what you're supposed to do next. Is it God who did this to you, or is it all just a coincidence, or huge joke? Every step may be your last. You have to figure things out even though they seem pointless and unsolvable. Your choices decide your fate. Your questions are never answered to the fullest. And all the while, social, racial, gender and other differences clash mercilessly. Sounds like life, doesn't it? It is a film about the human nature more than anything else. Yes, the characters are stereotypical in some ways, and there are clichés. But I think few people realize that those stereotypes and clichés are broken completely as we go along. Or so I sensed. The dialogue (described as "lame" by many) didn't bother me at all. The film is unpredictable, just like the characters, and it keeps you guessing what happens next. And when something happens, it doesn't disappoint.
Rating: Summary: crazied mania Review: I had found out about this movie from my 13 year old daughter,I never expected to see what I can only explain as one of the best. If Alfred Hitchcock were alive today this would have been one for him to beat
