::READERS REVIEWS::

Cube...very entertaining! - Gotta love this movie! Almost makes you think that the people of Saw might have seen this movie before creating theirs. Cube 2 was not good, and 3 was barely okay. There is nothing like that first. Every sci-fi and horror flick fanatic should have this in their collection. I'm a movie goer, renter, but I rarely buy. The fact that I bought this says a lot.

Good movie - Cube was a good movie, alot of action. Its like a sci-horror, but horror at entry level. Cube 1 was a hit that it lauched other sequeals, 2 & 3 were not as good as one. Dont waste your time with Cube 2, poor actin and boring.

The Cube - I'd rate the movie as fair to good. It had a few little twists but it was kind of drawn out and the acting was a little cheesy. It's entertaining but it's not something I would watch more than once...

Surprisingly Satisfying - Although the film is low-budget, the story and concept are fresh and fascinating. I think the Saw franchise borrowed elements from this movie as well. If you like the Saw series, check out Cube.

Completely horrible - 4 stars worth! - I am stealing a quote from Ronald Battista's one-star review (I hope he doesn't mind) because it is completely on point and sums the movie up completely: "Dreadful acting, dreadful writing, dreadful characters, dreadful attempt at philosophy. Unlike the cube itself, this puppy has no depth, though it sure tries to pretend".

A perfect review. Completely accurate.

It has truly HORRIBLE acting and writing and makes such a ham-handed attempt at a philosophical commentary that it is truly sometimes hard to watch. That is why you cannot take it seriously. It is gloriously bad. It has worse acting than "Twister" if you can believe that. The actors - especially the guys that play Quentin and Rennes (okay the doctor too)- really act like they are parodying bad acting. It is THAT bad.

Also, more disturbing than anything in the movie are the reviewers that really believe the movie makes some profound statement. It does attempt to, but the execution is abysmal, and it just turns into a long cliche. It has the most stereotypical character types you can imagine - it's like a bad science fiction Breakfast Club, except in the Breakfast Club you ended up liking at least a few of the characters. Not so much here - I pretty much actively disliked each character from beginning to end. For most of the movie I was honestly HOPING that each character would meet a grisly end.

Horrible movie, but can be fun. Rent before you buy though. You certainly have to be in the right mood to be able to sit through it.

No story, no plot - This movie has no story and no plot at all. Nice if you like some gruesome scenes, but that's just about it. I would recommend Cube Zero much more (see my review there).

like Pirandello . . . but with blades - I think it's worth watching once.

While I did appreciate the spectacle of people trying to work their way out of a deadly trap using mathematics, I would say that the film fell apart when the director tried to ramrod some allegorical meanings into it. The writing wasn't that well done. The idea that the Cube was originally a mammoth public works project that got out of control was serviceable enough, and hey isn't that like life? The problem with these metaphorical approaches is that certain events in the movie disallow them. Then how do you explain how everybody got in the cube? How do you explain how they don't remember? How do you explain how they left off questioning Worth when there were many other things he could have answered.

If the director wanted this to be an allegory, he should have insisted on a script without so many leaks in it.

Fascinating movie. Mindboggling predicament. - Cube is a Kafkaesque movie. If you've done any research about this fabulous movie you're sure to find that description colored throughout those reviews. The seven people here are senselessly made to find their way free of a threatening cube of complex mathematical problems that may lead to freedom. Freedom always seems attainable yet the trials distort reality. Frustrating questions like, "Why are we here", and "who put us here", are set aside because of the life or death challenges in front of them. That elusive freedom drives these people to their best and worst qualities. Much like many of Kafka's parables: this is a moral story.

Cube gives us shocking violence and at times unbearable suspense. It is a film of complexities, unique eeriness, and swamping trials of endurance. This is an interesting film, surrounded by mystery that is sustained by the director Vincenzo Natalie who refuses to ever explain what's outside the Cube. Rumor says that Natalie once made a short film showing the outside of the Cube. But later, he destroyed the film and renewed his vowe to keep it secret.

There are those of us that have found fault in this movie, such as in the math. I will not go into all of that. I'll leave that to the "glass is half-empty people." I choose to say that this movie is an attempt at intelligence, something that far too few companies even attempt to do. I adore the movie who's characters need to solve complex math to move the story along. A story about human qualities, and the essence of our ways.

The music is minimalistic, and I can't say that it added to the dramatics of Cube. But I did not judge this to be a flaw. If anything, the scarcity of music made me feel even more isolated and alone with these poor people. I would say that it even works. You start off, not with some magnificent musical birth, like many movies, instead you can almost feel the cold steel on your skin. That uneasy feeling you get in a hospital, waiting for the doctor to check your body, to probe your body. There is always a feeling that you are not in control.

I really enjoyed the look of Cube also. Even though every room is just a cube, they still manage to evoke visual interest by switching it up, changing the lights (sometimes eerie photo-room lights), and maybe a design change every now and then. I have noticed that the rooms do have a steely, computer-chip look to them. It gave me the sense of a cold hearted designer with no use for asthetics.

I will comment a little about the ending, but will not spoil anything for you. It is a climax that will leave some without enough answers, yet the feeling alone, will surely fill the appetite of the hungry film lover. I am not one to appreciate a vagueness, or openness in an ending, I feel the climax must have some reason to it. Yet this film is true to its Kafkaesque nature, in that you say to yourself, "what was it for?"

It is such an interesting movie, presented with mysticism and an aura of surrealness that it becomes a standout movie amidst a lifetime of repetitive movies.

Wacky, Bad Acting, But still Good - This movie was crazy. I love when a low budget movie becomes a cult classic. This show was full of wacky ideas, bad acting and entertainment. I would just recommend getting it because you'll watch it again. What I loved about this move was it had bad actors with a really unique idea. A question, is acting really that hard? I mean for real i don't see how people get into acting that can't act.
