It's a cult movie that has clearly inspired other pictures

Rating: 8/10 (30 March 2007)

The CUBE is a cult movie that has inspired many other films since it was created. One I can easily remember is SAW - the similarities are just too obvious. However CUBE has one thing that SAW hasn't: an incredible capacity to abstraction! In fact, if SAW has a plot and settings which we can easily understand, based on a psycho-game "in the real world", CUBE is passed on a gigantic cube full of thousands of small rooms (also cubic). It's really based on an abstract concept and it keeps it until the end. We start to know nothing about what's going on, and we finish the same way All that we can find out along the plot is the "stories" and the personalities of the characters. And the intention of the movie is just that: to be an abstract mortal game to watch Human's emotional reactions: fear, despair, paranoia, suspicion I found this movie very interesting because of that. It might be a little boring that the scenarios are always these Sci-fi cubic rooms, but the tension and the suspense created are enough to maintain viewer's attention until the end. And the ending was great too, because it doesn't give you any answers but just proves that sometimes innocence and weakness can be stronger than anything else.
