Title: Welcome to High-Concept Hell
Review: Seemingly-random people are trapped in a giant, deadly Rubik's cube!There, you have the entire movie, sadly. This is one of those films where all the interesting parts are right up-front, and the actual film is filled with stock characters, predictable plot points, cliched interactions and juvenile conspiracy theories. We're lead to believe that the people were chosen deliberately, yet some characters seem utterly useless, added only to create artificial drama. The interactions are not believable, the climax an insulting cop-out, and while the lack of explanation seems to work for awhile, soon it fails as suspense and you just stop caring.It's not terrible, and you can admire how they were able to stretch out a minuscule budget. The acting is tolerable, though not good enough to transcend the shallow stereotypes they had to work with. Ultimately, no matter how compelling the concept, you spend the entire time waiting for an actual movie to show up, and it never does.
