Plotless or allegorical?

Rating: Null/10 (6 February 1999)

Anyone looking at this film as a realist is going to see it as a mediocre film. The revealing of the physical reality of the cube wasn't very climactic, some things weren't explained and the ending wasn't happy and final. If you thought of this film as a plotless B-movie that left you hanging then I'm guessing you were also disappointed when you didn't see little green men at the end of Contact.
This film is obviously conveying some kind of message or is at least throwing out some ideas for the viewer too think about which I see as a rare and wonderful thing in filmmaking today. This could be interpreted as a statement about control, human nature, religion, life as we know it, survival of the fittest, or anything that an imaginative mind can delve into.
As a whole I saw the film as a very frightening guess at evolution. Kazan, the one who survived, had a dedicated and amazingly exact function but was hindered by his humanity. Without the help of everyone else he wouldn't have survived. Kazan emerged from the self destructiveness and creativity of a small representation of society, evolving towards what we see as logical perfection and away from humanity.
I think the cube symbolizes the world we've created for ourselves, sterile and mathematical, inside another world we've completely forgotten about and probably never understood anyways.
In regards to the cop killing the doctor:
Why would the cop save the doctor and then drop her? I think the director created a metaphor for the phenomenon of control or even government. Controlling parties put everything on the line to save their own kind and at the same time choose to be self destructive, she called him a Nazi remember?
