Cube Review

Review of Cube (1997) by screenqueeen: 👍 4/5

HOOPTOBER 7.0 DAY 22 9 DAYS REMAIN

This is a neat little feature that works with what it has and knows what its limitations are. The obstacles are fully realized and its puzzle elements are well thought out. The foresight this had to explain to its viewers that the reason why the cube exists doesn't matter given the secretive nature of the project, and the notion that no one would care resonates even today. The characters are real people and it's even more telling that the cop is ultimately untrustworthy despite how he's presented as a protagonist at the start. Kind of kicking myself for not seeing this sooner, it's a classic.
