Title: You Know What They Say About Sequels...
Review: The first "Cube" was a fine sci-fi movie with a witty concept and an interesting execution. Its sequel recaptures some ideas from the original but this time we`re in for a bigger,louder and more sophisticated experience. While it seems that the producers wasted more money here than in the first, the overall result isn`t as exciting. The first one had a claustrophobic atmosphere, yet "Hypercube" doesn`t have that same feel and mood and ends up being less suspenseful and gripping. The characters are stereotypes and don`t make us care much, and a couple of twists in the plot are quite questionable. All in all, not a terrible and lifeless sequel, but not a particularly exciting one, either. It`s a somewhat entertaining piece of sci-fi, even if it doesn`t bring nothing all that new or unpredictable.Average, worth watching once.
