Apr 18, 2019 I understand why it got such a low rating compared to the first one. First off, CUBE literally kills someone within 30 seconds of the film starting! And they don't hold back, its full gore with the first one baby! Cube 2 is like a toddler in horror compared to the first one, dragging on with boring interactions without substance. And the first actual death isn't even satisfying! Leaving a guy (who wanted to die) to get swallowed by some blurry crystal mess is not a death, especially when he's just still screaming until they close the door! I guess the "Syfy" channel must've taken over the story because instead of gory deaths and isolation, we get an overcrowded party of boring characters that explore a Cube that's stuck in an interdimensional mesh. The only real gory scene is a computer generated disappointment and the atmosphere of the cube just really isn't even scary anymore. Sadly, if you manage to trudge through the whole movie, you get a douchebag ending as well. See more

Rey W Apr 8, 2019 This movie masquerades as something which is smart and well thought out however it is neither of those things. It stumbles along, producing whatever twists will keep the audience interested and finishes with a 'clever twist' which really has no logical or interesting explanation and is both lazy and stupid. Also, the terrible special effects constantly pull you out of the immersion. Stick with the original. See more

Poe R Jan 22, 2019 Not very well done. The 'Cube' was much better.

Hagrid S Jan 18, 2019 This really is a waste of time. Taking essentially exactly the same plot as the superior original, now we're treated to extra VFX and guff about tesseracts. Some of the performances out-ham Shatner, and the whole thing seems designed to give its audience a blinding headache. See more

Hagrid G Oct 28, 2018 In the sequel to the original "Cube," 8 strangers wake up confused in a cube without any idea of why they're there. This sounds really familiar... Let me guess, they have to find a way out before it's too late?... Yes! That's exactly it! But wait! They're not trapped in a normal cube, this time it's a HYPERcube. Essentially what that means is, it's a cube with no logic or rules. Parallel universes exist, time and gravity shifts upon entering different rooms--nothing makes sense. That's what's wrong with "Cube 2" it makes absolutely no sense. "Cube 2: Hypercube" is a 2002 film written by Sean Hood, Ernie Barbarash, and Lauren McLaughlin and directed by Andrzej Sekula. Sadly, this sequel misses the mark and rehashes the premise of the original film while fumbling through some flimsy new ideas. So does "Cube 2" measure up to the first movie? I think you can tell which way I'm leaning, but let's see! Starring Kari Matchett (Kate), Grace Lynn Kung (Sasha), Neil Crone (Jerry), Matthew Ferguson (Max), Barbara Gordon (Mrs. Paley), Geraint Wyn Davies (Simon) and Lindsey Connell (Julia), "Cube 2: Hypercube" fails to create a cast that brings something new to the table. Unfortunately, the characters in this film are either typical (Simon), bland (Kate, the main character!) or just plain annoying (Mrs. Paley). While the first film was able to maintain a good amount of tension with a small cast, "Cube 2" features none of the suspense of the original. What hurts this sequel so much is the overall story. It seems like the writers were being too ambitious on a low budget, and had to wrap things up abruptly--the story feels unfinished. The acting isn't great, but it wasn't great in the first film either. It's frustrating to me that the mysterious look of the original has been replaced by a sterile and boring aesthetic. Everything looks the same this time around--it's enough to drive the viewer crazy! From a technical aspect, I suppose the director did an okay job, but some of his shots have some bad framing issues--there's some random closeups. For some reason, there's slow-mo shots and weird grainy effects used which takes the viewer out of the film. I think it was a combination of poor screenwriting, sub par acting, boring set design, and lame visual effects that damage "Cube 2" severely. Did I mention how lackluster the traps in this one?! What a letdown! They don't even show up until almost half way through the movie, and they suck! Yeah, the idea of parallel universes is kind of cool, but at least make the traps interesting. As you can tell, I was disappointed with "Cube 2: Hypercube." If you enjoyed the first film even a little bit, I would still steer clear of this one. See more

Hagrid S Jul 23, 2018 A flawed attempt to elaborate on the first film's genius and abysmal acting (which the first film managed to take and work with) leads Cube 2: Hypercube to be an utter bore with a plotline crutching on the surreal and the hypothetical. See more
