Cube

Summary: Dave Roldan, the myth the legend says- why?
Review: Please don't belive what these other reviewers wrote because:

The Good: This movie has a brilliant concept. It has new to movies actors and actresses can act well. Its great to make fun of with friends. The Bad: The Plot line has been dragged, blundered, and butchered horribly. The twists come in too late for one to care about. The movie is dragged to a bad ending. The movie (too lengthy for words)should be rewritten into no longer than 30 minutes max. This movie is bad for lack of better terms.

Please watch any of the following movies instead: The Green Mile, The Usual Suspects, Phenomenon, and Contact.

Summary: Good movie, bad ending
Review: I really enjoyed watching the movie. Up until the end, the plot is cool and interesting, the visuals are great, the acting is more than decent. I was really glued to the screen up until the ending.

The ending is the part that ruined the movie for me. This is only a personal opinion of course, but I was SOO disappointed by the lacking ending, that it actually ruined the movie for me.. :(

Summary: It's the "Breafast Club" meets HELLRAISER
Review: in that you are kept entertain for 90 minutes in practically one room. In case if anyone has realized this yet this is one of the most difficult things to do in film. When you watch the credits there seem to be way to many people working on this film that takes place in a box. The film has a lot to say about human behavior but little to say why our characters are in this CUBE in the first place. I like to wonder and think about a film when it is over too but I think this film asks for too much. Good performances and high suspense with a few too many predictable twists but overall this film is a good watch, even better for the more claustrophobic.

Summary: Cube gave me nightmares
Review: No movie has targeted my claustrophobia like "Cube". It is dark, twisted, creepy, and stimulating. I first saw it in the theater, and I left feeling violated. If you ever feel uncomfortable in small rooms, and if you love conspiracies, this movie will get you on a primitive level.

Summary: Afterimages
Review: I can only add this to the reviews: This is the sort of movie that causes images to bubble up in your mind and dreams for days afterwards. Perhaps it's the fact that the entire movie takes place in the same setting, or perhaps it's that perfect buzzing ratcheting *snik* as the hatchways are opened between adjoining cubes, but in any case, this movie definitely leaves an impression. The opening sequence sets the theme...

Summary: hmmmm.
Review: brilliant premise, it sustains the movie almost until the end, but....yes, but, twas a bit predicatable and cheesy, the idiot savante being the only one to escape, and other characters a bit 2-dimensional, however one of the most best IDEAS I've seen in a movie for a long time.

Summary: Unrecognized Beauty
Review: I thought is would be just another low budget sci-fi film, with bad acting, and annoying sound. This film is just the opposite. What makes this film in my top ten list, is it's simplicity. It has a pinch of Hitchcock, mixed with a surreal sci-fi environment.

Summary: Best accident I ever had.
Review: I was grabbing a movie off of the shelve quickly on my way to the front counter. Instead of what ever it was I ment to grab I got CUBE instead. Best mistake i ever made. With deep philosophical questions and stunning sets. this is truely one of the best movies ever made. You will be asking yourself... who put them in this place? why? how?....thought-provocing. beautiful. literally a modern masterpeice.

Rating:
Summary: Life
Review: Forget about the characters, the dialogue, and the plot. They really do not embody the message of the movie. Personally I thought they were all fantastic from begining to end, but others seem to differ in opinion. The movie was TRUELY about life, for all of you who totally missed the point. I need not say more because if you cannot figure out the message on your own you are not worthy of watching the best movie of all time.

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'.
