Review of Cube

Cube (1997)
3/10
Pretentious tedium
30 September 2000
I read that this was one of the most intelligent and original films of the decade. It bored me.

I have a feeling that some will say that I can't have understood it. If I didn't, then I would like to know how it is that not one single event in the movie surprised me. It was the most predictable, yawn-making pile of verbose nonsense I've seen in quite a while. The characters were not very realistic, and smacked of contrivance. The visuals were dull, and if this was intentional, to give a sense of uniformity and regularity to the cuboid maze, could there not have been some slighlty more interesting camerawork? Even the booby traps were cliched!

Don't bother watching this unless you are truly bored as it is.
