Plot
Eight people wake up inside of a cube prison and have to figure out how they got there, why they are there, how to survive and how to get out. However, unlike the first Cube, this one doesn't have numbers separating the rooms to say if there are traps located within. And, this one also seems to be erasing itself as it is not a solid object. Can they get out or will this be the end of them? And how can there be a space that is not defined by the standard rules of physics?

Rating Criteria
0/5 – No value whatsoever. Absolute waste of time.
1/5 – Barely worth any time.
2/5 – Pathetic but has a bit of something to hold the attention a little.
3/5 – Somewhat kept the attention but could definitely have used more.
4/5 – Good, but not awe-strikingly amazing. Could have maybe used a bit more to the movie.
5/5 – Go see it! Wonderful movie all around. – characters, music, theme, story line, etc.
3/5 - *SPOILERS*
Good sci-fi prison escape movie but not as good as the first movie. There were connections for each person to the company Izon but they didn't go into many details about it. The rhyme and reason for the shifting time or alternate reality was not explained well but made the story interesting when we saw other potential lines cross paths (Simon meets Jerry at least 3 times and is old immediately after Kate stabbed him in the eye). Sasha being Alex was not a surprise to me because I wondered if Alex was going to be amongst the group. The construct/use of the hypercube was not explained though it probably could have been virtual, considering it is a cube with one more dimension (time) or a tesseract. I would have preferred more traps like in the original Cube movie but that's just me.
I downgraded this movie because there were so many plot holes surrounding the creation/implementation of the hypercube. And the way that the characters react to the hypercube was sometimes ridiculous, like going insane after another timeline warned of one of them being not trustworthy or killing the same guy over and over again so that the one guy had sustenance.
I personally would not jump to watch this one again. If you want one of the Cube trilogy movies, go for the original Cube movie from 1997. The Cube Zero movie is good too (and my next movie to review!) but Cube 2: Hypercube failed to be outstanding..
That's my movie review. Thanks for reading! More reviews are to come eventually so keep an eye out.
