4/9/2023 0 Comments Hypercube dungeonMy rating: 6/10 Rated R for language, some violence and brief nudity. Cube 2 is the exact same thing, except not as good. Cube was an original, interesting, and disorienting movie. And although the random crazy psycho killer is more random here than the first, I liked him more, and he was great as he was going through the hypercube. Because they don't exist, everything goes wild here, allowing for some things to happen. It's not claustrophobia, but the idea of anything happening in a hypercube. But one positive difference between the two is that this one seemed to be overall scarier. Maybe it's for the prequel, Cube Zero (due out sometime this year) to describe. But then they left it in the air yet again. The ending, which was vague in the first, explained some more, which I was angry yet happy about. The hypercube is actually like a small apartment, the wizard who owned the tower was the teacher of the main antagonist, a lich, for the campaign, and the players are going to poke around the tower trying to find more information. Here, it seems like everyone was involved somehow. In the first, you barely knew anything about the giant cube they were in. The characters are all more broadly drawn, the dialogue is cheesier, and it looks faker. I guess that's for people who see sequels before the originals. There's the wandering around, talking about the past, and speculation of why they're in the cube. There seems to be no pattern, like in the first one, so how are these people supposed to get out? This is all one big rehash of the first. They soon discover that theyre in a deadly dimension where the laws of physics dont apply and they must unravel the secrets of the 'hypercube' in order to survive. Instead, some rooms have a cube that attacks you (don't ask), some have gravity reversed, and time means nothing. Eight Strangers wake up in a bizarre cube with no recollection of how they got there and no idea of how to get out. They're not different colors, and there's no booby traps. Strangers are thrown together into a series of interconnecting cubes yet again, but this time they're more high-tech. It shows what Cube would have been if it had had a bigger budget, but it also showed what it didn't want to become. But then one wonders how there can be a sequel to a movie that was basically all filmed in one 14x14x14 set? Well, Cube 2 is the answer-but not really the best one. And that seems like the case with Cube 2: Hypercube, a sequel to the cult hit Cube. Although no one liked the sequel, I'm sure Jonathon Lynn is proud that The Whole Nine Yards got a sequel somehow. I've never really thought about it this way, but I suppose in most cases, it's an honor to have a sequel.
