Is Cube worth "upgrading", how about Cube2?
 

I have the original version and love the movie. I put in an order last night for the signature version and Cube2. Reading reviews on Cube2 I'm not really hearing anything positive and so far I haven't found much on the new version of Cube. So I was wondering what everyone's impressions were of these DVDs?

Check G. Noel Gross' review at http://www.cineschlock-o-rama.com/ -- an anamorphic widescreen presentation and a Dolby Digital 5.1 mix alone are compelling enough to upgrade, and some of the extras sound interesting.

I will be getting both of them despite the bad reviews of C2

I got an advance screener of Cube 2 already if anyone's interested in trading, gimme an email.

Not really worth 'upgrading' Cube in my instance as i own the French R2 which is anamorphic anyway and includes Vicenzo Natali's short film 'Elevated'

i'll probably be upgrading cube, but i'm going to watch cube 2 on the sci-fi channel tomorrow before buying it..i've heard bad things about it

I saw Cube 2 last week on Sci Fi...it's awful

I have no copy so I'll be picking up the new one. I'll pass on "2".

um... looks like I might end up keeping the original too. I'll have to go back and listen to it again but I thought the original commentary was pretty good. Too bad they couldn't include it on this :(

Is there a particular reason why Elevated has not been included on either of Cube's releases in the US? I've seen the short and it's awesome, but I want to actually have it on a disc.

As for Cube 2, it's horrendous. If you're a fan of the first film, you'd do well to avoid this so as not to tarnish the greatness of Cube. :D

Cube 2 is certainly one of the worst movies ever. I only watched about 15 minutes and almost puked on my hardwood floor on the way to the bathroom. Luckily, I quickly inserted memories of Cube, the original, and made it to the toilet without disaster.

I have the original Cube DVD, and I won't bother upgrading.

I'm "upgrading" Cube, but also keeping the old disc for the different commentary and other extras that aren't on the new one... The disc is cheap enough ($13 shipped at DDD) that I'm not going to worry too much about having both.

As for Cube 2... ugh. It's a bad movie. Catch it for free on the Sci-Fi Channel (it's on tonight at 9pm). Or, better yet, pretend it doesn't exist and skip it. It's a bad movie.

Without a doubt. One of the first commentaries I'd listened to and still among my favorites. I'm getting the new disc, but I have every intention of keeping the original on my DVD shelf too.

Cube 2 is AWFUL, I must agree with you all. How about that X Files style ending ?????. It seemed to be written by a retarded Chris Carter.

Cube 2 isn't that bad. It has some interesting moments. I would give it 2/5 stars.

I thought Cube 2's lameness was mostly the fault of the horrible acting. I don't think there was a single person who wasn't irratating.

I'll def. pick up this version of Cube 1 though.

The acting in Cube 2: Hypercrap was horrible for the most part but there was no logic to the script, it was friggin hack work out to make a buck. Geraint Wyn Davies became a crazy cannibal......for no particular reason towards the end and the film got even funnier..........unintentionally of course.

I don't think the script was necessarily intended to be logical which can be good and bad.

Got Cube 2 today and it isnt THAT bad... I have seen a lot worse. I would rather watch this movie over and over than see Chicago again (the first movie I ever walked out of), Charlies Angels, Moulin Rouge, Battlefield Earth, etc...

Too bad you posted this so late... it would have made great copy for the front cover of the DVD:
