Ralph R Cube is a fascinating, low-budget sci-fi thriller that makes the most of its minimalist setup. The concept is simple but incredibly effective, a group of strangers trapped in a deadly maze of cube-shaped rooms. The movie thrives on its tension and psychological undertones, diving into how humans react under extreme pressure. It’s a smart, inventive film that doesn’t spoon-feed answers, leaving you to wrestle with its deeper themes about survival, human nature, and systems of control. While the traps and puzzles are memorable, the true focus is on the characters and how they clash as their desperation grows. That said, the film isn’t without its flaws. The constant use of tight close-ups and high focal lengths creates an almost unbearable sense of claustrophobia, but not always in a good way. At times, the cinematography feels disorienting and can pull you out of the moment. Combined with some uneven performances and occasionally stiff dialogue, these elements might not work for everyone. Still, Cube is a must-watch if you enjoy tense, thought-provoking thrillers that make you question everything by the time the credits roll. It’s the kind of movie that sticks with you, even if it leaves you a little shaken. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/18/25 Full Review Marcus K Great concept. Reminded me of a version of the Saw franchise. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/11/25 Full Review Brad M I watched this because it had good ratings. Big mistake, just stupid and boring. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 12/02/24 Full Review Michael P A classic with an A on the story and B on the execution. Happily surprised on how entertaining this movie had been. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/18/24 Full Review Jonathan K It was unexpected where the movie went and in the end it was more of a horror movie than I was prepared for it to be. The acting is pretty dopey and the special effects are very 80s. However, the philosophy and concepts supporting the universe are quite good. It had me pretty captivated in the last third and I genuinely didn't know where it was going to go. I do wish they said more about what was really going on, and I would guess most mainstream audiences would feel the same about the script. Some kind of twist at the end would have been cool, but instead we are left with a meta experience, in that the pointlessness and cynicism are the theme, and it gives the viewer a lot to think about if they so choose... or they can just simply enjoy the horror trap Saw-like vibes. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/14/24 Full Review Audience Member For a late 90's movie this was excellent! I was not expecting a remotely good movie, but boy what a pleasant surprise. They could redo this movie today with lots of CGI but they wouldn't need to. The one series that kind of reminds me of this is The Platform.
