Do yourself a favor and watch this movie up to the point where the first guy gets sprayed with "water." Turn it off after that. At that point you'll have seen the only decent gore, and you will be spared the boredom and stupidity that is the rest of the "plot." This movie adds absolutely nothing. The gore is lame, the story is laughable, the acting is poor, and the plot holes are bigger than the cube itself.Just some examples.The helicopters can be heard at the lake as soon as they are scrambled. So the base is right next door? How could they possibly get away? The woman's daughter magically appears in the last scenes in the forest. Where did she come from? The "people upstairs" have to come down to the tech room to operate the controls and find the rogue tech guy? Really? With all their tech, there isn't another control room somewhere? Okay, so they have computer eye implants, chips in people's brains, and the means to build a cube... but they can't find one guy in the cube? Even though every room has a camera? Hello, how about a single mosaic channel showing all rooms? Or a motion sensor? Blah, blah, whatever. Not wasting time typing more. I figured with a 5.7 rating it can't be that bad, but it was just dreadful. How anyone can rate this higher than a 3 is beyond me.

Employed to monitor the progress of those subjected to the Cube experiment, two technicians begin to question the ethical implications of their job in this prequel to Vincenzo Natali's 'Cube'. The film gets off to a solid start with lots of mysteriousness in the air with ominous personnel files and odd touches like pill-form lunches. The novelty of having two individuals in limited danger sit back and watch events unfold does, however, wear thin quite quickly even with a lot of intriguing answers given to explain the Cube's purpose and the reason why individuals are generally placed inside. Simply put, it is more exciting to watch those with no idea figure out what is going on piece by piece (as per the first two movies) than it is to have all the answers gradually unfold from the perspective of those in control. The film is also compromised by an inappropriately comedic performance from Michael Riley as the mysterious man in charge; he is charismatic but far too goofy to ever seem menacing or fearsome. There is also some baffling, unexplained technology that somehow allows the technicians to read dreams. 'Cube Zero' does, however, trump its predecessors by including a more imaginative variety of gory, graphic death scenes. The film is also topped off by a thought-provoking ending with a chilling reference to Natali's original horror thriller.

I went in to this movie with extremely low expectations,after seeing what a failure "Cube 2" was.Frankly,I thought "Cube Zero" was going to be even worse.One of the main reasons the first movie was so good,was the fact,that everything was shrouded in mystery.I knew,that "Cube Zero" was going to try to demystify the original and botch up the series even more.To my surprise-it didn't.The explanation they give us actually seems legit and they carefully leave some things still unknown.That part of the movie was,in my opinion,done flawlessly.The acting was OK for the most part.The gore effects weren't that good and in my opinion,they were unnecessary,but this isn't a really big problem.There are two things that really handicap the film.1.The group of cube guinea pigs.Most of the segments involving our new group are very,very similar to the first movie and it really breaks the overall flow.Plus you wouldn't care about those characters-THEY ARE FLAT.I think the scenes involving them could have been shortened.2.Jax.I hate this character.I really do.This guy is the most stereotypical Bond villain you can think off.I never,ever expected to see such a character in a movie like this.He seems so out of place.What were they thinking?Although it has some flaws,"Cube Zero" is a good movie and it manages to redeem the mistakes of "Cube 2:Hypercube".

Cube Zero (2004)This movie was a much better sequel then Cube 2, Which was just a waste of time.This had a great opening scenes, very gory start to this movie, which I really liked.The plot was little different of last 2, this times we see what going on in The Cube and also going on outside of the Cube.This was better then Cube 2 but no where near as good as the first movie, The deaths scene in this movie was really nice and gory at times and fun to watch.And I at the end that when I really understood why this was Called Cube Zero and liked how it ended.The acting was really good from the whole cast,6 out of 10
