Cube is a fantastic underrated sci-fi/horror film from the '90s. Not anywhere on the same plane of existence as the piece of art known as Dark City, but it's almost up there.

Cube 2: Hypercube was indeed different than the first film (which hurt it more than helped it), but I did find it watchable. The problem is that the film completely ruins itself during the third act when the film decides to kill off the entire cast and have an ending that makes no sense and offers no answers to what we already knew from the first film.

From what I've seen, Cube Zero might be better than Hypercube; but at this point, I'm not expecting a lot. And just to think, if the flick makes it's money back on video, we will get treated to the Cube television series. :(

I got a chance to see Cube Zero a few weeks ago and it was okay. Its better than Cube 2 but not as good as the first. It goes back to being more of inside the types of rooms from the first and has some decent gore kills but beyond that, its just okay. it does show you outside the cube and what is going on with it.

Oh, no, that was a PYRAMID. Completely different. No relation whatsoever.

They made a sequel to Cube with Donny Osmond, what?

No, no, no. We're getting at the fact that Donny Osmond's PYRAMID is ripping off HOLLYWOOD SQUARES. Didn't you read the thread?

Okay, neither did I, but I skimmed it and got the gist, I'm sure.

Cube Zero?
 
Anybody seen it? Is it any good?

I heard about and nobody liked it. I haven't seen cube 2 yet but people say zero is worst than 2.

I just saw this movie tonight. Wow. This movie was a big, stinking, piece of crap.

That's all I can say right now. I am so pissed off after watching this film that I'd be here all night typing all the millions of reasons why this flick sucked.

Vincenzo Natali's "Nothing" was recently released on DVD in Canada, if you liked the origional Cube you should check it out.

Having seen "Nothing", I think it's safe to say that if you liked the original Cube you shouldn't check it out. Not a very good film at all :(

If you want to see another great Vincenzo Natali film, then the one to check out is Cypher. Not sure if it's hit R1 yet, but we got it here on R2 and I loved it even more than Cube.

I want to check Cube Zero but I hear the DVD is only 1.33:1 full frame :(

The Region 1 DVD is in glorious 1.78:1 anamorphic widescreen. A damn good transfer for a completely terrible film.

Ah good stuff, thanks Matthew. When I checked DVDEmpire.com before the release date, they were listing it as 1.33:1 Full Frame. Will pick this up now :)

How about Rubi-cube for a title. I didnt care for the second one and it would have been nice if they had finished off with a followup not a prequel.
How about some explanations into what the cube is??????

I just got finished watching this. I actually quite liked it. Yeah, not as good as the original, but I found it to be a fairly compelling film. Much better than the 2nd one.
