jsvishnujapr One of the best movies I have ever seen. Though it's an old movie, I bet it can compete any other movie in this category at any period of time.

grantss 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.

WB_Whiting "The Cube" is a theological horror movie, the 'Cube' that the protagonists are trapped within represents the worldview of Gnostic Christianity. In this worldview, the universe is a 'Black Iron Prison', an ever shifting and changing death trap created by a wrathful inferior demigod. Within it is the 'Empire', an amalgam of all evil human institutions that wields power over humanity, all who fight against this 'Empire' must adopt its methods and find themselves becoming the next 'Empire'. The true higher god is outside this universe's reality, it breaks into this reality and attempts to save some humans from this trap. Read VALIS by Phillip K. Dick if you are interested in reading fiction further explaining this worldview.The characters suddenly awaken within the 'Black Iron Prison' of the Cube, aware of the predicament they are in, aware of the malevolence in the design of the universe. They, in their discussions, discover that humans built this Cube, that they and not a god are responsible for the evil state of human society that brought about this deathtrap and fed them into it.The numerology of the rooms is a clue pointing to a higher intelligence outside the Cube and its human builders. The characters find that they were wrong to move from their original room, that trying to discover a way out through their own intelligence (and not by a god) only led them astray and into ruin. The idiot-savant character represents how one must 'become like a child' to become saved, only through a god can come salvation.I am not sure if the creators of this film are portraying their own beliefs or if they are portraying a theology that they disagree with because it makes for a good horror scenario. Either way, this is a very interesting and well-made movie that has a hidden layer of depth that is meant to pass by most people unnoticed.

Thy Davideth 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.
