Cube Zero Movie Review
In this prequel to Cube, we see the men responsible for the cube as we simultaneously see the latest group of people go room to room in their attempt to escape. The third, and to date, final, movie of the franchise attempts to answer some of the questions left open by the other two films, while also presenting new ideas and concepts--this is a tricky endeavor in prequels, and unfortunately, this film does not pull this off well at all. As this is a prequel, one would expect the rooms to look just like they do in the first film--they don't. In fact, the rooms look very different here. Cube 2 is completely ignored (thank goodness), which means all the parallel universes and other such nonsense is out, the CGI is an improvement from that film, and this is probably the goriest of the three movies.
"I'm melting...melting!"
You know the type of characters to expect, and it's obvious from early in the film that behind the scenes man Eric (Zachary Bennett) will eventually enter the cube to help Rains (Stephanie Moore) attempt to escape. While we don't get to see who the top man of the cube experiment is, we do see who is presumably the top man at the actual location of the cube and he's...well...
Eye don't have the words
This character, Jax, is so over-the-top, and actor Michael Riley hams it up so much, that it's really hard to take him seriously, and worse, after waiting three movies to see who is pulling the strings here, this reveal is a major let down. If that's not bad enough, the final scene is beyond absurd. While not as bad as the second installment of the franchise, Cube Zero still falls well short of its potential, and is a rather disappointing finale to the series.
