Warning - Minor Spoilers
As every Cube fan knows, the first Cube was a totally original movie, made with a small budget and an unknown cast which deserved a hell of a lot more recognition around the globe than it got.
Cube delivered a totally original concept and considering the actors weren't well known, they all pulled off great performances. Unfortunately...this was not the case with it's sequel, Cube 2: HyperCube.
Before I start dribbling on about how bad Cube 2 was, I must confess I didn't find anything wrong with the CGI effects, even if they were small budget.
The CGI effects were probably the best thing about the movie. The acting however, at times was nothing compared to the performances that the original Cube cast gave. The acting did seem very forced at times, and slightly OTT.
I don't want to go too deep into what happens in Cube 2, for obvious reasons. But I will say this, it doesn't really cover any new ground and whats really missing, is the gruesomely yet cleverly done deaths of each character, this really did let the movie down. Some of the new characters also seem very reminiscent to the original cast.
Overall, Cube 2 covers very little new ground, and like the original, it has an even worse ending.
5/10
