Cube²: Hypercube
[DVD Info]

Much like the first cube it starts out with a girl waking up and wandering around endless rooms that look exactly the same. As she opens into a room she screams and disappears. Eight people: Kate Filmore (Kari Matchett) is a psychotherapist and a hero. She tries to help everyone out and stay positive. Simon Grady (Geraint Wyn Davies) is an angry, angry man. He lies about his job...but why? Sasha (Grace Lynn Kung) is a (unconvincing) blind girl who can hear something coming after them...even when no one else can hear it. Max Reisler (Matthew Ferguson) is a paranoid computer game designer (with a gay lisp). He thinks the cube is all an illusion and that they're unwilling participants of a game show. Jerry Whitehall (Neil Crone) built the doors in the cube. He's very bumbling but smart and loveable (best character!). Mrs. Paley (Barbara Gordon) is a crazy old lady who doesn't understand where she is and forgets the people she's with (introducing herself multiple times). She used to work for "Izoid", a weapons manufacturer. Julia (Lindsey Connell) is found later on in the movie sleeping. She's a lawyer and thinks she's been kidnapped for the money. Finally there's Colonel Maguire (Bruce Gray) who seems to understand the cube but tries to kill himself. Everyone there is connected. They're in the cube for similar reasons. But what are they? Who's lying and who's telling the truth? Is there anyway out of this cube?

"I want my numbers!" ~Colonel Maguire

I hate how they call films from Canada "foreign" films. Foreign films are usually subtitled and in another language...so when they say foreign I assume just as much. Raaagh!

This was an awesome movie. It fell a little short of "The Cube" but had its own charms. The really only disappointing thing was there were only 2½ cube related deaths. In fact...there were no "death" rooms in this movie. Most people got killed because of...reasons. Anyway! If you were hoping for an explanation of the first movie don't look here. Although the idea is the same...it's a different cube. In this cube it's more "upgraded" the doors are opened by motion versus having to crank the door open. Also in this cube there was a whole variable time space continuum thing going on...so there were multiple dimensions where there were different outcomes to their situations. They also figure out that the rooms are moving within the first 5 minutes of the movie. It's really bad but in the same way that the first one is bad (the special effects were TERRIBLE). So bad...you gotta love it. Because of this, the jury gives this flick:
