Imagine being suddenly awakened in a claustrophobic cell without knowing how or why you got there. Without any food or water, the only objective you have is to escape. But how can you sustain your sanity with only a fews days to live? With this premise, you get a totally unpredictable and intense movie. Cube is simply a visual masterpiece and what I consider a science-fiction film breakthrough. With a unique and thought-provoking plot plus a paranoiac atmosphere, the Cube achieves incomparable heights of suspense. The Cube has many underlying themes; one of which is how the Cube exposes the characters to the hostile forces of technology and how humans ultimately fear technology. Even if you don’t see many of the movie’s hidden messages, the Cube can still give you pure cinematic enjoyment. This film is an instant classic in my book.
