Summary: How would YOU behave in the 'cube'?
Review: The first fifteen minutes of cube make you wonder... oh NO, this is another blair rip-off project: no plot, bad acting, why on earth is it getting a lot of praise? You wonder if you live on the same planet as the people who told you 'Cube' was great.

Then it really starts. The acting gets much better, or maybe you just didn't know how to enjoy it from the start. While the story gets more and more thrilling, the 'cube-people' show more and more of their personnality. You love them. You fear for them. You have your personal favorite among the team, or you admire one for its behaviour... These people exhibit patterns you surely have seen before. And then, you start to realize they behave like some people you know or have met.... in small touches or in the 'big picture'. This is the most exciting thing about 'Cube'.

What about the story? we don't care much about it, there's no need to. The story is there to showcase how people behave when they're pushed till the edge. Nevertheless there's a brilliance in creating such a thrilling atmosphere with so little scenery/storyline, i find that amazing.

Yet this is not a movie for everyone. If you're looking for a standard movie with a guy who saves the world & gets the girl and/or money, go buy armageddon (yes i'm being caricatural, but i met people like that...). If you like being pleasantly surprised while watching a movie, go for it. It would be a safe assumption to say that if you liked 'The Beach' (how they want their own happiness regardless of inhabitants health), you'll enjoy 'Cube'.

Summary: Science Fiction - Horror - Suspense - Drama - Math?
Review: Cube is an excellent film. One of my top 10. Very Unique. A must see for anyone who likes horror, suspense, and/or science fiction films. Those who enjoy Twilight Zone and Outer Limits genre storytelling should feel right at home.

On the other hand, Cube is not for those who do not like unanswered endings. The film asks many questions, but answers little. It is also not for those looking for blockbuster special effects and/or academy award winning acting, for this is not the case. Not that they are in anyway bad, both the acting and the special effects are more then sufficient for the type of movie that is it.

The only dislike I have for the film is the ending. It is not due to the fact that they answer few questions, that is excellent, leaves you thinking. I did not like how it ended with a Friday the 13th style hack & slash. None the less, it is an excellent film.

Summary: Avoid at all costs
Review: A really horrible effort. Wooden acting, bare effects and a plot that goes nowhere. Perhaps those that find it profound are just looking at a Rorscharch pattern; there's really nothing there so people read things into it. Rather than watch this movie, read the phonebook: it will be more entertaining.

Summary: A movie without a point to it...
Review: The movie is about people who find themselves inside a giant structure without any clue to why they are in there, how they got there or who built the damn thing. Well, after seeing the entire thing I still can't answer any of those questions! The movie gives a whole new meaning to the term 'open ending' - it can't be called an ending at all. The director leads us by the nose for 90 minutes, and when we get to the conclusion we find out there isn't any - the movie just ends. Avoid, unless you have a lot of spare time on your hands.

Summary: please read
Review: this movie started out really good and it kept you interested through the whole movie. But why did they make the cop turn into a bad guy towards the end of the movie it didnt really make since. The ending is really confusing and a total screw job. is the retarded guy actually out of the cube or was it just a whole other room that was bright. I also didnt like the way they made eveyone except for one person die. I would not buy this movie but renting it isnt all that bad of an idea. the movie does keep you on the edge of your seat.

Summary: Good. Not Great, but worth a try.
Review: Cube is a very interesting movie. The cinematography is, at times, brilliant. Nicole de Boer's use of extreme camera angles provides us with some telling moments. At other times, though, this film looks like a bad TV movie. The special effects are excellent at times, but very amateurish at other times. The plot is incredibly straight-forward. The cast is comprised of a massive seven people. This was possibly the simpliest set ever created: it's simply one room repeated again and again. Getting worried? Well, then this movie has achieved it's purpose. The best thing I can say about this movie is that it plays on its own terms, not yours. If you're looking for a plot with a solid resolution, then look elsewhere. The idea is compelling, the characters are, despite what some other reviews say, fairly complex (examine, if you will, the stereotypical "protagonist" and his development), and the deaths are creative, to say the least. Most importantly, there are some very tense and compelling scenes in this movie. It is interesting and it is worth viewing. Rent the DVD before you by it though. This film is by no means a must have, but the opening scene does have to be seen to be believed. All I can say is "ouch."

Review: This film is essentially a high school geometry test, only with blood - and not in a good way.

Summary: Weird and excellent
Review: CUBE is a tight,paranoid film. It equally balanced science fiction and horror with unusual ease. The traps were cool and the characters were interesting. My only complaint is the ending, which seems like the writer had to kill as many of the characters as possible just because it was the end of the movie. It was hard to grasp the mathematical concepts,but that didn't interfere with my enjoyment of this movie.
