I didn't overly enjoy it. It was recommended by a friend... The only thing this plot has going for it is the horror, suspense and logic. There are no outside elements, it is as if the whole movie takes place in one room. If you think you can love a movie based only on logic, this might be a good choice for you.

Say 'cube' again. Say 'cube' again, I dare you, I double dare you motherfucker, say 'cube' one more Goddamn time !!! So it's got a nice concept...together with some terrible if not nerve-wracking acting, an eye rolling script and an abundance of corny lines ("let him go you nazi ! wtf ?!). Seriously guys, maybe those things didn't cloud your judgment, but it's bad. The whole film is like a wet dream for nerds: "yey, prime numbers, we're saved"...

before "Saw" this kind of idea was considered nearly insane, i dont know how this movie pulled it off with this kind of budget, but it surely did, it is one of the greatest cross-horror genre movies to come out since "The Thing," even with some seriously stilted dialog and less the spectacular performances.

I liked Cube. It had its problems, sure, but they didn't end up being that important when looking at the final product. Yes, the acting could have been much better, and having different types of environments would have been more visually appealing, but there's something to be said about the minimalistic approach that the filmmakers took in making a film that still ends up being as thrilling and intense as Cube is. I suggest giving a shot if you haven't already.

Although I feel like the director wanted to do a little too much (suspense, sci-fi, character development, horror, mystery) in a 90-minute long low-budget movie, he managed to keep all these aspects very watchable, while delivering a very entertaining and intriguing small-cast sci-fi flick with very little downtime. There's a few moments of genuine suspense I especially liked about this movie.

'Cube' has dated poorly, but still remains an above par sci-fi indie.What I enjoy the most is how the writers get that good sci-fi is not about explosions and fast changing alien scenery, it's essentially about philosophy; about who we are as a race, when faced with obstacles that challenges the mental fabric of who we are. Natali and Bijelic both get that it's essentially about the people. Sadly, what they don't really get is people.

Few movies had me clinging to the edge of my seat like this surreal horror thriller. A number of people wake up in a cube, connected on all 6 sides to other cubes, without any idea how they got there, or how to get out. The rooms have different colours, and some of them traps. Each character plays a different role in the group, and the tensions between the characters can almost be felt, as they know they're running out of time to escape before they die of thirst and starvation.

I hate sci-fi movies in which whatever trace of inventiveness and imagination is 'justified' through drab social and psychological metaphor. Cube is really just exploitation on every possible level, so its attempts to moralize are hypocritical if not pathetic.

A good idea with a rendering that is wholly unsatisfying. Bad acting of cliche, unbelievable characters and every part of it is corny--the script is so unnatural and the arguments between characters are so painfully, painfully contrived. Shoots the shaggy dog and then gives none of the context you bore this crap for. Under no circumstances should you waste your time on this. Well, on to the sequel!

Whereas too many low-budget sci-fi films (Cube came in for $350,000) try for epic scope and fail, this concentrates on making the best of what it's got by ensuring that the main set is worthy of a feature and that the gruesome effects are striking and original enough to give bite to the suspense.

I didn't expect much from this movie, maybe that's why I liked it. From a very simple concept, they made a thrilling story with interesting characters. The writing is extremely poor and you have to suspend your disbelief really hard to get into it properly, but, once you do, it's a pretty good movie.

Clever and well-designed. I wish I had seen it back in the 90s, it would have been immensely enjoyable. But right now, there have been better examples of "low degree of independence puzzle" stories (like Saw or Identity). So its weak characters and sudden bursts of junk psychology lower the movie's stature.

Fun claustro-horror film has a nice low-budget aesthetic which makes everything play out in a simmering low-key which is nice - it's a shame that little effort is made to develop either the characters or the premise which means a weighty repetitiveness sets in during the sometimes unpleasant mid-section and takes the shine off the finale, which manages to be both predictable and almost shaggy dog-ish. Still an interesting and largely engrossing effort.

Pro: Veery well made in terms of honesty, human feelings, psichology and all that, very nice characters, good acting, low budget/high value (me gusta). Contra: Smells of hollywood. (It's canadian, I know). There are certain events and twists that contributes not to the worth it, but only makes it flashier, which is lame. The sequence, however, gets bad. 1st: Must watch, 2nd: Baaaad, 3rd: Okay.

The empowering setting the movie finds itself in serves as an excellent theater for the characters to react to each other. The ever-present claustrophobia and the thought that death could always be a mere room away sends the unlucky group spiralling out of control. It won't change your life but, ultimately, "Cube" is a good premise boosted by the psychological interactions of the different characters that makes for a cult classic.
