6 faces of human emotions

Rating: 10/10 (4 January 2000)

I can't believe there are so many bad reviews for this movie. At first I thought this would be another pretentious independent movie, but it was an amazing surprise.
The actors are just great, they really show their character's despair, fear and anger. The set design and the photography are wonderful, also.
Did you think the story was predictable? well, I certainly didn't, and to me, the development of the simple premise (6 persons trapped inside a cube full of traps) was just excellent. There is one scene that must be one of the must stressful sequences I've ever seen. And even when some of the events in the movie could be considered as stereotypical, the final result is a brilliant story.
In some way, Cube reminded me of The Blair Witch Project, since it also presents the relationship between people who are facing a huge danger, a strange and unknown environment. Both movies show us the emotional breakdown of the characters.
But It's a shame that a film like "Cube" will never be a huge blockbuster hit. It doesn't feature any huge movie star and it's not an easy summer-like movie. But it's definitely one of the best sci-fi / thriller movies you'll ever find.
