Cube (DVD) Reviews

There are some movies that definitely live up to my expectations and some that don't. The Cube is one that exceeded my expectations. I had heard a few positives vibes and the plot line sounded intriguing, but I went in to the movie pretty open minded. Plot ~~~~~~~ 7 Strangers wake up in a mysterious cube with no ...  Read the complete review

The Storyline = = = = = = Six Strangers wake up from their normal, daily lives to find themselves trapped in a surreal prison, which is a seemingly endless maze of interlocking cubical chambers armed with lethal booby traps. None of the strangers know why or how they have been imprisoned, but they soon realise that each of ...  Read the complete review

~~~Introduction~~~ I was looking for movies which are similar to the Saw movie series with all the gore, etc. And upon a quick google search, I came across the title "Cube" being mentioned quite a few times. So, I bought it and I was pleasantly surprised upon watching it. I wasn't too sure what to expect. However, ...  Read the complete review

Cube (1997) was a little known, low budget science fiction film that over the years has become something of a cult classic. Directed by Vincenzo Natali with a cast of relatively unknown actors its story on the surface is quite simple: Six people find themselves trapped in a cube shaped room with doors in the middle of each ...  Read the complete review

Cube has unexpectedly turned into a cult movie. Slightly helped by the fact that the Region 2 DVD is OOP (Out Of Production) so they're harder to find now. Please note, the picture on DooYoo is actually the Region 1 version so if you're looking to buy the rarer one, go for the Region 2 version. Anyway, the plot is very ...  Read the complete review

I first saw Cube some years back, back when it was very much a 'new' concept. I am a great fan of the idea of human psychological experimentation and I feel this film adequately and successfully fulfilled my expectations. Overlooking the occasional dose of bad acting from the stereotypical Doctor and Cop characters, the whole futility of ...  Read the complete review

I first bought this film because my partner reccomended it to me. After watching it i was amazed by it i loved the mystery surrounding it, as the film doesn't give much away. The film keeps its suspense by not giving much away.I like how in this film you get to see alot more about the story behind the cube. The plot- six ...  Read the complete review

Sci-fi is the one genre, along with horror, that has really suffered of late on the big screen. Danny Boyle has tried to revive things with the interesting looking ‘Sunshine’ and I quite enjoyed ‘Event Horizon’. The Cube trilogy, like the above a more intriguing angle on the topic, is something that I have been aware of for a while but ...  Read the complete review

No, its not the worst........... But I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of people thought it was, my wife wasn’t that taken with it, and to be honest it wasn’t quite what I had expected, though I did find it a very enjoyable watch. Cube is not your typical Hollywood blockbuster, there’s no ...  Read the complete review

Just goes to show what an original idea and imaginative use of just one set and a shitload of lighting can do. Although not 100% original, I remember a Star Trek TNG episode of a similar plot line. However - the tension is there in this one - a good cast and clever plot points are what keep this film together. The ...  Read the complete review

Cube is surprisingly good, even though the whole film is set in rooms with the only furniture being death traps that are set off with cameras, bodily chemicals, heat sensors, movement sensors, sound sensors... nothing can get past them! If you are unfortunate enough to enter one you could be melted with acid, sliced with highly tensed ...  Read the complete review

Hmmm, I'm sensing origonality, aren't you? Cube has to be one of the most interesting and origonally thought out storylines I have ever experienced. Ok, lets set the scene!! To do this imageing yourself going to bed tonight and opening your eyes as you wake up. ...  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 ...  Read the complete review

Cube is a blast of originality. With a repetitive set, it is essential I feel to keep the audience interested to the hilt, which this successfully does. The storyline is developed extremely well, the main attribute being the way anything can spring up from the frequent dead-ends reached. 'It restores your faith in ...  Read the complete review

Take a 14ft cube as a set, a cast of pretty much unknowns, and a very small budget and hey presto! you have yourselves a very good, intelligent, claustrophobic and tense science fiction. A group of people, all strangers, wake up one day inside a room shaped as a cube. It has doors leading to other cubes and they find out ...  Read the complete review

I seem to be the only one in the Dooyoo community who thought this film was aweful, which amazes me. The film starts off with confusion. Seven people wake up in a multicoloured, booby-trapped cube and stumble around in it for the next hour and twenty minutes, slowly killing each othe off and becoming dillusional. The ...  Read the complete review

Now here’s a surprise. I bought Cube with no idea as to what it was about, let alone how good it might be. I saw it as a low budget sci-fi horror film, and this feeling persisted for the first ten minutes. Then it all became clear – this is, in fact, a fascinating thriller. Don’t judge a Cube by its cover. Instead, ...  Read the complete review

This is one strange movie. Filmed on a low budget(presumably), there are only 7(ish) cast members, no beginning and really no ending either to the film. Basically, a group of people find themselves trapped inside a strange metallic construction, consisting of a number of rooms all joined together through walls, floor and ceiling by ...  Read the complete review

This film will leave you feeling very confused at times because of the unusual structure of some of the scenes. The story is quite complicated as you never find out how the characters actually got where they are and where they actually are. The film is obviously quite low budget compared to others as they are only ever in one ...  Read the complete review
