Cube sounds very intriguing. Thanks.

Cube was good, Cube 2 was a bit... well crap. However Cube Zero turned out to be an amazing film.

CUBE was definitely a great film, right in line with Ghouk's recommendations.  Both sequels were just so-so, in my opinion.  CUBE ZERO is much more like a B-movie than the original CUBE, though, which makes it sort of fun.  But it's too literal, explaining too much and taking away the mystery of the Cube, which was the best part of the series.

I agree. I liked Cube Zero, but it kind of spoiled the original by giving too many answers. The ambiguity was the whole point.

Cube 2 was definitely the weakest of the three, but it had some clever ideas, and I really loved (spoiler) when Geraint Wyn Davies goes nuts amid all of the converging parallel realities and time moving at different speeds, and manages to survive for years by killing and cannibalizing alternate versions of the same guy over and over again.

But the original Cube is still the best, and probably should have been left to stand on its own.

I have to agree. I think that was the reason why I enjoyed Cube Zero far more, after my recent viewing of Cube, all the mystery was gone.

Still Cube is a very good film but Cube Zero is well worth a watch. If I was going to re-watch one tonight, it would be Cube zero.

Cube 2 was... I can understand what they where aiming for but it just did not feel right. The time distorted rooms where cool and so were the different realities crossing over. So I felt it was an OK film but the weakest of the series. Not a film I will watch again any time soon.

Just thought of another, Alain Robak's Baby Blood (1990). It goes well with Eraserhead, Videodrome and Possession - which happen to be three of my all time favorite movies  :thumbup:
