the first cube movie be an art movie . it set up a world in which all the major archetype of mankind be represent and and show how they struggle to make sense of a hostile world that they couldn not understand . it be and on the non literal level and a man vs. cruel nature plot and where the individual who represent innocence and goodness come through in the end and triumph to face a new and indefinable world beyond man petty squabble while a world where there be no more struggle and but peace . i rat cube a positive and and it a movie that be never mean to have any sequel . the second movie and hypercube be a massive disappointment . some of the idea be kind of cool and but in the context of the original movie and both the story and the setting make no sense and have no meaning . still and for be fairly entertain and i rat it a 5 out of 10. the third movie and cube zero and while ignore the second and play like a vastly inferior commercial b movie rehash of the first and sans the symbolism . there be no homage or tribute here while there be only rip off . the same kind of plot and with some element idiotically alter ( like have letter instead of prime number between the cube an idea which show more clearly than anything else that this be a rip off with absolutely no originality and nothing to say ) . that we see something from behind the scene mean nothing and because the watcher be just part of the big bad experiment and the architect of which we hear nothing of . and and in this movie and those who get through to the exit ( like kazan do at the end of the first movie ) be just kill where the bleep be the sense in that . that just flippin stupid . i be glad i do not pay to see this . the production value and act in cube zero be not too bad and but the story and the idea be so utterly devoid of any inspiration that this movie can only get from me a rating of negative .
