I see no movie in this movie

Rating: 5/10 (3 April 2016)

Cube provides almost nothing to feed a curiosity for sci-fi. "Almost" because its context happens to be original, but inadequately shallow, as describe below.
The context: a maze made of cheap-looking cubic rooms rendered with basic CGI. Each cube may either have one mortal trap or be safe. Each cube has a coordinate printed in it.
The story: no story or explanations, just some characters randomly moving from one cube to the next and randomly dying one by one.
The characters: five stereotypic characters put in the maze, more or less. These are: a cheap leader boss taking control of the group and killing those who don't obey; a cheap genius high-school girl computing prime numbers up to millions; a cheap autistic psychopath supercomputing numeric powers to help the above girl; a cheap jail-breaker with a pragmatic attitude, and some more characters I don't remember. Put these together in a film set made of one cubic box, let them say "I'm scared", and you have Cube.
