Long before the escape rooms became a common way to throw away $ 100 and destroy your Saturday night, many of us on the wrong side of their 30. Cubewhich in reverse view acts as a suitable-when the deadly-prototype for the Stripmall-based attractions that we know today. The only difference between modern escape rooms and the title six-sided prison that our characters find in this cult sci-fi horror movement is that the only cube leak is death … If you are not smart enough to break and return to daylight.
Tense and claustrophobic with a healthy hint of nihilism, Cube It falls into a high concept/dubious wheel design, because the special effects and the designed design are top, but the dialogue often suffers from one -dimensional thinking that will certainly move the story forward, but do not provide many substances on the way.
The worst kind of escape room
Cube Wednesday to five perfect foreigners – and one guy who immediately kills in the first scene – that wakes up without a memory of how they have become imprisoned in a large and seemingly endless trap of death.
Quentin (Maurice Dean Wint), a policeman, is introduced to the nihilistic office worker David (David Hewlett), a mathematics student Joan Leaven (Nicole de Boer), free clinical physician Helen Holloway (Nicky Guadagni) and renowned escape artist Rennes (Wayne Robson), whose claim to glory is that he successfully escaped from seven prisons.
Rennes, who finds a group during his own escape attempt, explains to everyone how each of the rooms inside the cube may or may not be trapped, which Joan Sunmises is related to whether the rooms are marked with the first -class number “throw the boot into the room and test your happiness”.
Along the way, the group encounters a development -attacked man named Kazan (Andrew Miller), who reluctantly allows Helen that everyone is imprisoned in a cube for a specific reason, and must rely on himself to find out a suitable escape plan.
No real purpose
David Worth, who reveals that he unknowingly suggested the outer shell before leaving the project, provides Joan invaluable information that uses his mathematical skills to calculate that the cube has 17 576 rooms, all of which have their own numeric code, which are probably essential coordinates to determine their location at any time. David has a reason to believe that the cube was a random, abandoned government or private sector, and that their only purpose of their imprisonment is to justify the cost of a structure that kills morale and issues Quentin on an authoritarian bent, although helpless to break the cube code without help.
While Cube It loses points for its harsh dialogue and acting, the concept of the film is enough to keep you involved, even if you do not have a reasonable way to check all Joan’s calculations in real time, because the group closely escapes death while moving from the room into the room when trying to live. And while each character is a one -dimensional archetype, you don’t need much more to move things because the tension is driven CUBE’S Labyrinthian Surroundings, not his development of the character.
