Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

Cube 2 was an immensely convoluted film with very few like able characters. It tries to mirror the first movie, and comes off as superficial. It lacks the substance of the first film, the same substance that made it tense and established the mood that should have been part of the second installment. I give it 2 stars simply because it has a more interesting aesthetic than the first, but not much else to offer. The ending was just your typical, predictable plot twist that hardly added anything to the film, and the overall back story presented in segments throughout the film is nothing new. I only suggest watching cube 2 as a comparison to the first movie, as it gives an over view of the directing and writing styles that make the movies each their own. It sacrifices the practical design of the first movie for something more abstract and complex, which in my opinion dissolves the tension, and suspense you would expect of a sequel to Cube.

So,I don't really know why or even..ya why,but Cube,yes,the awesome horror film got a sequel that I only really noticed recently when I bought the whole trilogy in a thrift store,the idea of making Cube 2 is stupid because..with a movie like Cube,one films enough but of course,due to it being an original awesome style movie..Cube 2:Hybercube was let film and soon after released as a independent sci-fi horror film. The film follows several strangers who wake up in the same cube from the first film,though,there is a awful catch,its..mh..well..ya see..its in space,basically. Cube 2 is a brilliant example for money making sequels,although,happily,this barely made any money,its so dumb and people just throw things at it like oh,ehhh,space,white cubes,blind girl,moving walls..and its so bad. Unlike Cube,the acting in this film is so bad,its actually incredibly bad,I have'int ever seen acting as bad as the acting in Cube 2 and oh,oh,oh my god!! The ending,you know me,I will not spoil but the ending in Cube 2 is most likely one of worst ending ever,the CGI though as well in this film is like something this director got on his phone as a app produced by some fat lard,AHHH,I hate this god damn sack of sh*t film so called a sequel to Cube. Cube 2 is a awful 2 hours of garbage and no,I'm not watching or reviewing Cube 3 cause I can obviously tell by the cover that its another money making piece of crap!!

The original Cube was an innovative exercise in how to tell an engaging and original story with a limited budget and an even more limited set. Cube 2: Hypercube, alas, fails to capitalise on such established promise and becomes boxed in by banality. Without any puzzles for the protagonists to solve, Cube 2 is pretty much a number of random individuals climbing in and out of the same room for one and a half hours until it all just ends. The actual end 'twist' doesn't really make much sense and the use of early CGI is ill-advised as it takes away the claustrophobic and visceral element of the first movie and replaces it with 'Crystal Castles'-like shapes that look super-imposed on victims rather than actually physically impaling them. As such, in place of enigmas we get repetitive routines, although the zero-gravity love scene is something novel, I suppose. The murder of numerous parallel copies of characters is an amusing motif, too, but the film needed more of such touches to really make its mark. Not terrible, then, but not innovative like its predecessor, and it is a shame that such promise imploded.

Having re-watched this movie not long ago I feel obligated to write a review on it while I can still somewhat recollect what happened. I will warn you right now, this movie is not worth watching. I mean, I could have accepted the original Cube to act as a stepping stone which later inspired the Saw movies, but I can't even do that anymore because they actually tried too hard to make Cube a thing. They try to add story as to why the characters are all in this "hyper cube" and what it all means, and do you know what it all means? Jack, sh*t. All the details mentioned in this movie could have easily been done without, they do absolutely nothing for the advancement of the plot, assuming there is a plot, except for take up time. It's not even that the movie effects were bad or the acting was poorly done in any way, it's just that there is absolutely no point to any of it. I was convinced these were the first movies these people ever made because they're just so awful. They don't show you outside of the "Cube" for Christ sake. All the characters share ties in the most forced way possible which left me thinking, "...really?". Some of which didn't even make sense, and some of the information that's delivered feels way too incomplete (arguably the details that SHOULD have been included in the movie). Please avoid this film. The other two in the series are atrocious enough as it is, this one just draws the sh*t line.
