People Can Ignore Movies Like This?

Rating: 10/10 (24 December 2001)

The Twilight Zone had one episode that involved five people finding themselves in a huge cylinder with no way out but the top. This, for some reason, sounds strangely familiar...
Wait, I'm writing a review on the movie that takes this concept to another 3-dimensional shape, "Cube," and also manages to make it more like a guessing game as to what will happen next.
Six people (doctor, student, cop, escape artist, normal person, autistic person) find themselves in a maze of cubes, with no idea of why they have been imprisoned there or how to get out. They explore the cubes to get out.
All these movies made with big budgets and no script are being noticed these days? (Especially 2001, where we got so few good movies that I get a headache thinking about them.) Movies like this, "Arlington Road," "Finding Forrester," and "2001: A Space Oddysey" get little attention? (True, "Arlington Road" and "Finding Forrester" had big budgets, and "2001" is almost outdated, but "AR" and "FF" have scripts, and "2001" is still good and confusing.) No wonder. People are too obsessed with huge action movies with no idea of where to stop and not smart enough to "get" movies like these (that's the point).
I saw this "butchered" on Sci-Fi channel, and it was still a smart, daring movie--how else do you explain things like the opening victim of a trap? Or the entire deal with (spoiler) the rooms going around in circles? Or things like all those traps (see first "how else do you explain" question) like chemical spraying to melt faces, sound activated spikes, and such?
