	The Film Asylum - Cube 2: Hypercube film review
		Dimensions are an important element of this film with it's scientifically baffling talk of a mind numbing 4th dimension and the use of the blue print establishes this point even though, at the start of the movie, it is primarily a subconscious thing.
		This is the films biggest crime and it is beyond me why the death traps have been removed in favour of a stupid 'entity' that appears to hunt it's pray without actually being the slightest bit exciting or thrilling to watch.
		Technically, the film uses some very imaginative camera shots in an attempt to convey the feeling of an environment the has no real physical boundaries and with a continually shifting gravitational pull, the result is visually intriguing.

	Cube film series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cube 2: Hypercube (2002) is a departure from the original.
		The dusky, dingy rooms of the first film are replaced with high-tech, brightly-lit rooms, and the conventional technology of the original traps are replaced with computer-generated imagery of ultra-tech threats based on abstract mathematics.
		Cube Zero (2004) is a prequel to Cube.

	Scifilm -- Reviews, CUBE 2: HYPERCUBE (2002)
		The movie followed that cast as they dodged the Cube's fatal traps...as well as their own conflicted natures...and attempted to solve the mystery of what the Cube was and why they were there.
		The enigma was never fully solved but CUBE emerged as a splendidly dark work of the imagination...a brain teaser in an era where movies seem to tranquilize the mind instead of stimulate it.
		CUBE 2 is behind the 8 ball right away because it will NEVER recreate the exact same atmosphere of CUBE 1.

	Classic-Horror Review of Cube (1997)
		Cube, a 1997 film by Canadian writer/director Vincenzo Natale, was filmed on a single set, with a small cast, and a small budget.
		But the audience can just as easily read Cube as an allegory of life: we don't know the reason or purpose, we are stuck here with strangers, and we have to find a way to make the best of it and cooperate if we want to survive.
		But what really sets Cube apart from so much sci-fi drivel is that the director never forgets that while he can be as philosophical, and intellectual, and clever as he wants, the most important thing is to be entertaining.

		When it was announced that a third "Cube" film would be made, a prequel in fact, most of the fans of the original had good reason to be skeptical given the abomination that was the second entry.
		Since the first "Cube" was based upon elaborate death traps and motivation of the characters what could a follow up film do but shamelessly repeat these themes unless it tried to do something completely different.
		However while the sections with Wynn are offbeat and miles away from the other films the sections dealing with Cassandra as she and other survivors make their way through the cube are extremely similar to the first two installments.

	Cube review
		Cube, is a gory sci-fi flick from Canadian Vincenzo Natali Vincenzo Natali: in the near future, a group of people find themselves closed in and trapped, without knowing why, in a cube made of cubic rooms (!!).
		If the opening sequence as well as the premise of the film are strong, it rapidly turns into an execution of the character and also the spectator.
		The film does however feature a real "tour de force".It manages to communicate the claustrophobia and horror to the audience, who feeling trapped, has but one obsession, to escape the theater room as quickly as possible.

		The original film was about a bunch of people stuck inside what resembled a giant Rubik’s cube floating in space and how they used all kinds of advanced math and physics techniques to figure their way out of the puzzle.
		The cube is designed with a countless number of identical square rooms with a door on each side, meaning there are six ways in and out of each room.
		In this film, it begins showing a young girl with fleeting memories of being inside a lab before she wakes up inside the cube.

	Scifilm -- Reviews, CUBE (1997)
		CUBE is a Canadian SF flick that is a breath of fresh air in today's atmosphere of gung-ho space operas and easy-to-digest blockbusters.
		CUBE is a film that does not underestimate the intelligence of its audience.

	'Cube,' one predictably dull film
		The low-budget Canadian horror film "Cube" so frequently pays tribute to or, more aptly, borrows heavily from the work of Alfred Hitchcock, George A. Romero and Wes Craven that it's astonishing how little it benefits from the wit, tension and style of the best work of those established masters of suspense.
		As for the film's protagonists, the diverse bunch consists of a fl cop, a white psychologist, an autistic mental patient, a teenage math whiz and a brooding, mysterious architect.
		The only genuine suspense in "Cube" comes late in the film's third act, as the histrionics and social commentary are temporarily cast aside and the characters finally pour all their attention into figuring out the puzzle of the cube.

		I wish I'd watched this film years ago when it was first released, I think it would have been a very striking film to watch in the cinema, the film shown on a large screen would have given the audience more of a feeling that they were in the Cube with the characters.
		However, I feel that trying to discover why these people are trapped is not the reason to watch the film, I didn't care why they were there because it was the interaction between the characters and their attempts to solve the puzzles and mazes that were the enjoyable factor.
		The basic idea behind this film is good and probably strong enough to capture the viewers attention for the duration of the film.

		We learn the intricately designed room is a cube, one of many, and each cube has six doors (one on each wall, along with the ceiling and the floor), each door leading to another cube.
		The film offers little to nothing in the way of what the cube is, its' purpose, or why these individuals were chosen to be placed inside.
		This is one of those films where all the interesting parts are right up-front, and the actual film is filled with stock characters, predictable plot points, cliched interactions and juvenile conspiracy theories.

	Cube (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Much of the film's appeal lies in its surreal, almost Kafkaesque setting — no extensive attempt is made to explain what the cube in which the characters are confined is, or why it is created, or why the "inmates" were specifically selected to be imprisoned inside.
		As the film transpires and he tries to take control of Leaven (who is generally seen as the most capable of the group) the character becomes more of a villain and is responsible for tearing the group apart.
		She attempts to make a connection with Worth shortly before she tries to reach the outer wall when they are at the edge and is finally killed by Quentin there (realizing his change from hero to villain), having changed from the most unstable of the group to a pivotal element of calm that opposes Quentin.

		The film is, in fact, similar to a famous episode of Rod Serling's old television series, though Natali's explanation for why these poor people are being put through hell is a lot closer to the spirit of The X-Files.
		Cube has some solid moments of suspense and drama, and the sets are appropriately striking: one is tempted to believe at first the characters are lost inside a computer chip.
		Cube is a penetrating sociological study of human hamsters in a giant maze -- how they address an unfathomable predicament, how they scrap to survive, and how they keep from cracking up, or fail in that regard.

		Against the advice of many, Cube decided to show a different side of life in South Central L.A. "It's definitely the film equivalent of 'It Was a Good Day,' " Cube says, comparing his comedic film "Friday" to his feel-good hit single.
		Cube used the film's unexpected success to keep pushing away those who wanted to fence him in.
		In the years that followed, Cube became a director ("The Player's Club"), a writer ("All About the Benjamins"), a critically acclaimed thespian ("Three Kings"), a sci-fi star ("Ghosts of Mars") and a bankable star of family fare ("Are We There Yet?").

	Horror Bob Presents: The Horror Review - Horror Bob's Review of Cube Zero (2005)
		"Cube Zero" take you both inside the cube and behind the scenes, which I believe helps the trilogy stay fresh, one of my complaints about Cube 2: Hypercube is that it was much like the first one.
		The Acting is so-so, I mean the film had to of had a lower budget than the first two films, and the film is pretty much a bunch of no name actors.
		Overall not a bad film at all I enjoyed it to a certain extent there were times I felt the film was getting slow, but when I saw the ending and how it relate to the other films I was satisfied.

	[No title]
		"Cube" is a feature-length film about six people who wake up one day to find themselves trapped in a bizarre maze constructed from cube-shaped rooms, each with a hatch on every side (including floor and ceiling) which leads to another room.
		Reading this marker sequence on a room blows a diesel-train-sized hole in her current theory that The Cube is 26 rooms in each dimension, however Leaven merely quips that it's odd, and moves on.
		I have no doubt that the creators of "Cube" took their ideas to be verified and expanded upon by a mathematician who knew what he was talking about (in fact, the commentary track alludes to a working 5x5x5 room computer model constructed by David Pravica; I'd love to see that!).

	'Cube': No Maps, Compasses or Faith
		Soon he discovers that what he's in is a gigantic maze of interlocking cubes, that he has six other equally clueless souls for company and that since there's no food or water they had all better figure out how to get out of there fast.
		The weakness in "Cube" is the dialogue, which sometimes turns remarkably trite.
		Vincenzo Natali, the film's fledgling director and co-writer, has delivered an allegory, too, about futility, about the necessity and certain betrayal of trust, about human beings who do not for a second have the luxury of doing nothing.

		Fifteen years later, Cube has managed to strike a kind of bargain with Hollywood - he's a high-profile actor and a significant player behind the scenes, creating two successful film franchises with the Friday ghetto comedies and the gentler Barbershop movies - but the fire still burns.
		Cube chuckles softly at his last comment, but the film industry has been paying attention to him since his first film role in John Singleton's 1991 debut Boyz N the Hood.
		Cube's film career, on both sides of the camera, took off quickly after his first on-screen appearance, with the rapper quickly accumulating credits as a writer, director, producer and all-round movie mogul after he established his production company, CubeVision.
