If you have a good amount of experience with movies you see patterns emerge and you get feelings as to how the plot is going to unfold. So if when watching the movie, 5-10 minuities in you get the distinct feeling that there is not going to be a resolution, nothing will be explained or make any sense and that the character development, which isn't great but its still irrelevant and a waste of time. The movie attempts to be a trendy flick exploring the depths of human nature. It fails abysmally. Any suspense the plot might generate is also a waste and it's purely suspense for it's own sake. It's a kind of prequel to the maze runner movies, except this is worse in every way.

I'm honestly really surprised by the high rating here. I may be more disappointed due to the hype surrounding this film, but I was really shocked with how awful this was. The concept is certainly interesting, but it is executed terribly, even considering when the movie was made. The acting is the first issue - in many instances, it's just bad. Dialogue is cheesy and unrealistic. And finally, the plot has no semblance of resolution, and there's not even detail enough provided for the viewer to make their own interesting interpretations. Overall, just a really mediocre film undeserving of all these 10/10 ratings.

Very original concept. A handful of people are locked inside a weird cube-like construction with interconnecting rooms, some of which have lethal boobytraps. They have to find their way out.Figuring out which rooms are safe, and where the exit is, proves to be a complex and intellectual exercise. Maybe too complex. Even mathematical people like myself eventually will have gotten tired of the twists in the puzzle and algorithm.Add in that you don't really care for any of the characters, and you're not really engaged. It's just a mathematical exercise, and an overly complex one at that.Not helping the engagement are some fairly weak performances. Nicky Gaudagni, as Holloway, is the worst of the bunch. Cringeworthy. It was very difficult to like her character at all. David Hewlett and, to a lesser extent, Nicole de Boer are the only ones who give credible performances.Intriguing, but not a must-see.

Cube is simply a very well made movie filled with suspense, mysteries of the unknown, revelations of the demented and nerdy $#!+. This is one of those movies where only bits and pieces are revealed and the film ends enigmatic. Sometimes it works and pseudo-intellects get boners off it. Others don't because they want $#!+ explained, b!+(#! So where do you stand? I enjoyed the concept of these people being trapped in a cube where they have to guess which room is filled with traps and which ones aren't through mathematical perception while losing their minds. Also it does have some unpredictable bull$#!+ too. So yes, this a smart ass movie with smart ass $#!+. Recommended.
