No-one get's it?

Do I? Probably not...
I am not going to talk about plot here or give away any spoilers.
The acting doesn't matter. The lack of effects does not matter. The ending doesn't matter.
It is the concept that matters.
Many reviewers have commented that the characters are all sterotypes. This was the whole point. Take six stereotypical people and set them a task to escape from a deadly cube. It is the way these stereotypical characters interact that matters. The whole idea is that if you take these sterotypes to the extreme, how will they react to the situation.
Someone commented earlier on about racial prejudice. Do you not think that that was the idea. There are many biggoted people out there that think of coloured people in that way. It was the film makers intention to throw that into the mix.
Ignore the people that try to pull this film apart. It means different things to different people. Enjoy it. It is an amazing film that is not to be missed. Make up your own mind about what the cube symbolises.
As a quick aside, did anyone else notice that the surnames of the characters were all names of PRISONS...
And anyway...They were dead already...
