Cube (DVD)

You think you’ve seen weird films? Think again, and then go and watch ‘Cube’. Cube takes your average weird movie, chews it up and spits it out into one big heap. That’s because Cube is probably the weirdest movie I have ever seen sitting next to The Cell. Vincenzo Natali, the Director set out on the Sci Fi flick to purely confuse us and to take a look at human nature at it’s best. It really is pure genius on the directors and writers behalf. For what cube gives us is a look into Human Nature, good vs evil and how people will do anything when it comes down to it to be the one who survives. Cube was filmed with a budget of ...  Read the complete review

If you sit down to watch a film knowing that it's a science-fiction piece about characters stuck in a cube like mice in a maze, you might have some expectations. You hope at least that the ordeal will be tense or thrilling for some interesting characters, that it might be cleverly constructed with some good cubic effects and that the psychology will convince. There may even be something else to make it worthwhile, something provocative. Well, in my opinion the film delivers a lot of the above - to the limits of its scenario. It has done well to make itself an unexpectedly good slice of dark, notional science fiction that fulfils the promises of its ...  Read the complete review

Cube is a relatively unknown science fiction film that has gradually developed a cult following since its cinematic release. Made on a relatively low budget, with no big names in the director’s chair, or in the cast, Cube is an intriguing film that absorbs the viewer from start to finish – well almost, anyway. The story of the film is relatively simple. One by one, a group of strangers awaken to find themselves trapped in strange cubic rooms. Each room contains six exits, each leading to another, almost identical cubic room. The only obvious difference between any of the rooms is the colour of the walls – the same eerie, mathematical patterns ...  Read the complete review

After watching this film for the first time I didn't think it was that great. However, the more I thought about it afterwards I realised that it was actually a good film and the several times I have watched it afterwards I have really enjoyed it. The basic idea behind the film is quite interesting, several people of different professions end up in a cube shaped room. There is a doctor, a secondary school girl, an office person and a thief. The 'cube' itself is a huge cube made up of many smaller one. Some have traps, some haven't. The film follows the group of people as they attempt to make their way out of the cube. This is a very ...  Read the complete review
