A Case of Rave Reviews Heightening Ones Expectations.

Rating: 5/10 (22 January 2016)

Cult classic. Awesome. Brilliant. Riveting. Clever. These words all made "Cube" sound like it was going to bust open the roof with its fresh approach to tension and science fiction. It did not. The film proved incredibly boring and only showcased how dated it is. Perhaps watching it closer to the original release date might have influenced ones opinion on how unique this story is. But time would not be on "Cubes" side and this low budget indie wonder would not really cross over into the Cult realm as I don't think it will garner new fans. And a cult classic needs longevity or else its more of a generational film.
I'd recommend other films in its place but coming on to 20 years from the films initial release there's too many films that are more awesome, brilliant, riveting and cleverer than this slow drab of a film.
Watch it if you're curious but please don't think you've missed out on something if you haven't seen it.
