Because of the problem of this concept itself, it is impossible to implement it well. So it is not easy for the film to achieve this level.
But from the point of view of the film itself, it lacks the brilliance. Cube 1 hopes to analyze human nature and use different roles to represent different classes of society, while Cube 2 does not involve in this aspect.
Overall, the film seems to focus on explaining a scientific theory rather than telling a story. So it doesn't satisfy the elements of a good movie. So only 4 stars. It would be even better if the plot could go a step further.
Even so, after watching 1 and then watching 2, I still think 2 looks better.
