Chad Collins Dread Central Fans unfamiliar with the original will find Cube a trap worth enduring. Rated: 3/5 Apr 1, 2024 Full Review Kat Hughes Ghouls Magazine Cube follows roughly the same path as its predecessor, but there are enough side-steps to keep things interesting. Rated: 3/5 May 22, 2023 Full Review Kate Sánchez But Why Tho? A Geek Community Even with its changes to the original, Cube (2021) is a good horror film, offering up dramatic character moments that, when coupled with interesting effects work and the familiar setting, make it stand out.

Robson C Um grupo de estranhos desperta em uma sala parecida com um cubo e eles não tem ideia de como foram parar ali. Assim, eles se aliam, tentando encontrar uma saída, enfrentando as armadilhas existentes. Remake japonês do já cult de 1998, praticamente segue os mesmos acontecimentos do filme canadense. Porém há algumas diferenças. No filme canadense, os membros do grupo são apresentados e suas profissões e habilidades descritas. Aqui, tirando uma apresentação inicial, nada mais é dito pelos indivíduos. Praticamente, toda a ação do grupo é focada em duas pessoas: Ide, um típico bruto silencioso de bom coração, comum em obras japonesas, e Goto. O personagem de Hikaru Tashiro faz um adolescente que desperta traumas em Goto. O resto dos personagens acaba não dizendo para o que vieram, a não ser representar o personagem mais velho e mandão e o que vai endoidar, A personagem feminina praticamente some após a cena de apresentação. O problema dessa produção, como na original, está no conceito, mas ele não se mantém por muito tempo. Então depende que os seus personagens conquistem o público. Ao mesmo tempo, ele tem que surpreender a todo momento, mesmo que estabeleça algumas regras, como que as salas que possuem números primos têm armadilhas. Apesar disso, gostei mais desse remake do que do original, por causa de algumas diferenças. Hoje em dia, o conceito já foi usado e abusado como em O Poço, que explorou outras linhas de ficção. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/06/25 Full Review Jeffrey P As a fan of the Cube franchise, I was excited to hear another was being made, then I found out it was going to be in another language and my excitement lessened. Naturally, I decided to give it a shot anyways. I suppose it’s okay if one has never seen any of the other Cube films, though not necessarily connected to them, it’s really just a foreign imitation that lacks the originality of the original, the unique characters and franchise development of the sequel, and the depth and exposition to the franchise that the prequel provided. This version does not lessen those films any, but it doesn’t add anything to the Cube-verse... until the post-credits scene. The idea of different 'cubes' around the world is also an interesting one but doesn't the Cube-verse just turn into The Cabin in the Woods at some point if it goes that route? Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 09/08/24 Full Review J K This review contains spoilers, not that it should matter to you, you shouldn’t watch the movie. Going into this as a fan of the original Cube, you may begin to feel emotions such as excitement, or possibly hope. The hope that this movie could possibly be an improvement to an already decent horror/suspense film with an interesting and original concept. Boy will you be disappointed, after the first several minutes, the movie trails off from the inspirations of it’s predecessor to a mountain of overly played emotionally dead side stories and nonsense behavior from the characters that will have you asking yourself, who is being tortured more? The characters on screen before me, or myself for sitting through an hour and a half of mounting disappointment. The rules of the Cubes are not consistent, and not explained, traps taking wildly varying time frames to activate, or responding the emotions of the most unstable character but no one else. The last door remained open, and then moved away without closing for such an exorbitant amount of time that I probably could have watched the original cube, just like you should instead of watching this movie. Also, its ending has been set up to allow for a sequel, so, that’s just the final cherry on the most disappointing sundae to ever be served at an abused child’s birthday party. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/12/24 Full Review Elaine H Loved this movie. Great acting. Interesting story line. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/14/24 Full Review Joseph Z This will need a redo. Skipping over the only one language that doesn't match Cube 1, 2, and Zero, they could have done better on graphics and so original gore kill. I would have expected Cube 3 to continue IZON's mystery story. Instead just a repeat of Cube 1 in a forget the language issue. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 12/26/23 Full Review Ricardo d Esse é um daqueles filmes que não tem sentido de existir. Daqueles que pensamos: quem aprovou o roteiro, qual o sentido de se fazer um remake, quem escalou os atores, e por ai vai...Fuja do título...só cai neste Cubo, pois gosto do conceito da trilogia original.
