Cube

There's really no reason to see this film if you've seen the original. It's mostly the same plot, same mystery, and the same utterly unsatisfying ending that doesn't answer a single question you might have.

Back then, the first Cube movie was epic, exciting and a fine surprise, this remake is redundant and adds nothing really good or new to the original one. In every aspect inferior, well, the share of drama is big sized. Next.

Like others who have written reviews here, I'm a fan of the original. It had been a while since I'd seen it, so I was intrigued by this remake, I wanted to see what would be changed.

The answer is... nothing. Or at least nothing that improved on the original, which it seems to follow beat for beat. While I don't think it's done shot for shot, I was reminded of Gus van Sants Psycho remake. When I saw that, I felt growing horror (not the good kind) as I realized that, yes indeed, he really made it as close as the original as possible. Why do a remake of a great movie if you have nothing new to say? Remake a bad one.

So this version of Cube feels more like a copy, but slower, dumber, longer, and cheaper. When I watch a film in another language, I sometimes find it hard to evaluate the acting. Not so here - the acting is bad. The oldest actor appears to have some screen presence. Everyone else is sub par.

So if you're a curious fan like me, skip this and rewatch the original.

I guess Japanese like the Drama, but its boring for us. No point for everything that happens, its not interesting, its like a normal movie not a cube one.

I just returned from watching this movie. I was curious to see how it would compare to the original movie. The move followed the original fairly well, with a few exceptions. The cube kills were fairly uneventful. This day and age I expected something better. There was an odd sub story that detracted from the suspense of the cube and felt a little out of place The acting was below average...Give it a watch but the originals were better.
