I think it looks better than the first one

Using this simple space to express the concept of time and space in parallel universes is a good idea in itself.
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.

    Compared with No. 1, there are big problems in the shaping of several characters, and the change of character is not explained at all, and it has completely become a pure visual sci-fi film. . .

Cube²: Hypercube quotes

  • Jerry Whitehall: I've been trying to get a handle on the configuration of these rooms. All I can say is...

    Simon Grady: They just don't make any sense.

    Jerry Whitehall: That's right - they sure don't.

    Max Reisler: It is as if the rooms are moving around very quickly.

    Jerry Whitehall: There's gotta be some kind of logic to it. You go in one direction and the room just loops back on itself.

  • Kate Filmore: Okay, let's just say we are in this hypercube or whatever; does this diagram show us how to get out?

    Jerry Whitehall: Well... no. You see a hypercube isn't supposed to be real. It's just a theoretical construct.
