I liked the concept...

Rating: 1/10 (25 July 2005)

The idea of this movie was fantastic. I believe there was a made-for-TV-remake, however, where the traps weren't deadly, just creepy. I think I would've preferred that one.
Problems I had with Cube: 1. Quentin overall. His character. The crap he said. How he fell on his head and had enough strength to go find them. 2. They never said WHY everyone was there. There was never a connection made. They never answered the big questions: Who, what, when, where, why, how? 3. The people were too stupid to ask those questions too. For a few minutes, I thought they'd eventually realize that there had to be some connection but they didn't go very far. And when they did talk about who, it was so vague and sketchy- who wrote this crap? I could do better dialog. 4. AUTISTIC PEOPLE DON'T KNOW FACTORS. HOLY CRAP. Very few, VERY FEW autistic people actually have hidden 'powers', and when they do, it's usually something like being able to tell when a day is in a year to come or remember stuff. But someone as severely autistic as that guy would not be learning factors, or know them without being taught. He wouldn't have the capacity to understand that it's math. 5. The cube-number-factor-prime...whatever the hell was going on there, was never clearly explained. I really have no idea what it was all about. 6. UNNECESSARY DEATH. The math girl did not need to die. There was absolutely not reason. I could've seen Worth dying because Quenten was real mad at him but why the Math girl? It was just a nuisance. 7. So much blood!
I'd rather see the remake, which apparently was just creepy, not gross.
