Some people wake
up inside a cube and there really seems to
be no escape, they realize that they are trapped inside this
hypercube. To escape they have to find out what the secret of
the cube is, but it's not very easy to stay sane when they
start running into other people who are identical to themselves...
Let me start off by saying that I find the original Cube so
extremely good but the plot is really simple and one could
wonder how you could ever make a sequel to that without
making the exact same movie. Well at least they made a descent
attempt even though it fails quite miserably to live up to
the first movie. To try to change the plot a bit they made up
this thing called a hypercube which doesn't work at all, the
CGI effects are way overused and while Cube struggled to be
a horrormovie, this didn't even try, this ends up to be more
of a dramathriller than anything else.
I have to point
out that the casting was very wrong aswell, it's
the exact same crew, a teenager who is blind, a woman that helps
the crippled girl, an old senile woman, the crazed maniac and a
bunch of other people we really don't connect with all that much.
The actors are also far from believable, they don't seem to be
scared or even surprised that they're in the cube not to talk about
the forced conversations.
I loved the gore
in the first movie but this is cleaner than Bambi,
well almost anyways, don't get me wrong, there are good moments, but
just not that many. My final question is, why even try to make a
sequel when the original is just that good?
Well, some blood running out of a mouth and some rotten corpses but
that's basically it. Very disappointing.
Well we get some slow music on the scenes where they move
from room to room but really, there isn't a soundtrack here.
This is definitely not a must but a good movie to kill 2hours with,
basicly it's just Cube with less gore and more CGI.
