Already a Classic

Rating: 9/10 (10 January 2015)

I think Cube has become a classic at this point. It used a very clever premise that has been re- used a number of times now; people 'trapped' somewhere who are strangers, and they need to band together if they want to escape/survive.
The nice thing about this movie though, for me, is the mystery of who made the cube and why - and it's never actually revealed. It seems the most obvious guesses would be A) a government experiment of some sort, or B) some super wealthy company or person playing games just because they can.
I haven't seen the follow-ups films, but I'm going to put them on my list. I am curious if those films reveal who is behind the cube itself and if the technology advances along with each installation. Ideally those films don't end up souring my opinion of this one, because I enjoyed it immensely. Highly recommended to fans of sci-fi
