Am I Missing Something?

The first must-see film of the year.
Robert Joyner
The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

The cube no longer has an interesting design but is as generic and uninteresting as ever. I say 'cube' not 'cubes', because all of the movie clearly happens on the exact same small and boring set.The camera is spinning around the cube all zoomed in for long, puke-inducing amounts of time. I really felt sick and my eyes started to hurt somewhere in the middle of watching this. Whoever filmed this overdid that spinning to create fake tension. It felt truly obnoxious.The characters are somewhat like-able this time though. At least for most of the movie, they're not as flat and 'just there to hysterically yell and die' like in the other two movies, eventhough the cliche 'violent male' and 'generic smart I'm-gonna-survive-this female' characters from the other movies are still in this one, except the obligatory 'violent male' character is white for once.There are no deaths in this movie as much as in the first one, and the ones that are present are accompanied by terrible CGI and aura of fake-ness, but the movie still manages to be interesting most of the time, due to the decent characters at because it delivers *some* answers to plot holes missing from the first Cube.If you enjoyed the first Cube movie, watch this one with low expectation, and by all means DO NOT WATCH THE THIRD ONE because it will ruin the whole series for you - it's THAT awful.This one though - worth the watch. It's a solid 'okay' B-movie.

The original Cube was an innovative exercise in how to tell an engaging and original story with a limited budget and an even more limited set. Cube 2: Hypercube, alas, fails to capitalise on such established promise and becomes boxed in by banality. Without any puzzles for the protagonists to solve, Cube 2 is pretty much a number of random individuals climbing in and out of the same room for one and a half hours until it all just ends. The actual end 'twist' doesn't really make much sense and the use of early CGI is ill-advised as it takes away the claustrophobic and visceral element of the first movie and replaces it with 'Crystal Castles'-like shapes that look super-imposed on victims rather than actually physically impaling them. As such, in place of enigmas we get repetitive routines, although the zero-gravity love scene is something novel, I suppose. The murder of numerous parallel copies of characters is an amusing motif, too, but the film needed more of such touches to really make its mark. Not terrible, then, but not innovative like its predecessor, and it is a shame that such promise imploded.

After waking up, a group of people find themselves locked in what appears to be some kind of cubed maze with seemingly no way out. With no idea on why they are there, or how they got there, they must all work together to try and find a way out, but as strange things start to happen, they all start becoming more & more desperate.OK no beating about the bush here - Cube 2: Hypercube is the biggest load of dross and is arguably one of the worst movies you'll watch. The first film was interesting and had a very original idea and storyline and it's actually a film that, while seemingly complex to understand at times, you followed.Cube 2, however, is the complete opposite of Cube with no real story. The first film dealt with mathematical logic, but this one is a bit like the cubed version of Donnie Darko and deals with alternate realities and parallel universes. It's an interesting idea but unfortunately it's very poorly executed as it just leaves you wondering what is going on with it posing more questions and not delivering any answers.The whole movie just seems to get made up as it goes along as the story is just a mess and not one part logically follows on from the other. Some of the effects are pretty neat and well done, but that is really all that is good about this movie.Honestly, do not waste your time with this one.

This film is about a group of individuals who got kidnapped into a hypercube, where any existing logic and laws of physics as we know do not apply. "Cube 2 Hypercube" is just as scary and as thrilling as the first! Even though the hypercube is white and bright, it's even more lethal than the previous cube that was dark and mysterious. This time round, anything can happen, making the plot unpredictable, it also maintains suspense and kept me on edge throughout. The ending is ambiguous and open to interpretation, which makes the whole hypercube even more mysterious. I really enjoyed it!
