Bad movie and awful acting from fat Meyerhold and ONe Eye Jax

I think the fat guy as Meryerhold was the worst actor in the cube films. It's like hi you're in a death cube and he's not acting scared or anything just making stupid statements I was so glad when they... Full review

I was one of the enthusiasts of the original. It seemed a clever solution to one of filmdoms most persistent challenges: how to stage drama.Noir is our most basic cinematic model. The core of noir is a universe where capricious... Full review

I feel this one is the worst of the three cube's. Don't't get me wrong, it's not bad, but definitely not as enjoyable. For starters they take away the aura of mystery of the first cubes by promoting the viewpoint of... Full review

Follows the same path as most sequels. First one was great. Second was average and this one, full of bad acting and some stupid dialog and well as a lot of suspension of disbelief, this movie was weak.Too predictable and... Full review

The original "Cube" is a fantastic B-movie rich with paranoia, meaty characterization, and fine over-the-top performances. It's creepy, cryptic, and cool. And it stands perfectly well, on its own, without a stupid sequel like "Cube Zero." This third (!) film... Full review

The first Cube movie was an art movie. It set up a world in which all the major archetypes of mankind were represented, and showed how they struggled to make sense of a hostile world that they couldn't understand. It... Full review

Cube was fantastic. Cube 2: Hypercube was great. Hypercube, to me, was progression. It was a forward-thinking leap from the previous movie, and managed to expand the mystery of the Cube without giving away too much.Cube Zero gives away too... Full review

"Cube Zero" might be smartly following down the same path....For those uninterested in these deeper questions, the film is also filled with enough decapitated limbs and gruesome flesh-eating viruses to satisfy the horror crowd..... ... Full Review

First time director Ernie Barbarash takes the reigns in fleshing out the Cube series in this prequel to what I felt was a great little slice of creativity and tries to both expand on the mystery of the Cubes as well as create some mystery of his own with Cube Zero. ... Full Review

Performance-wise, this third chapter might be the best movie of the bunch.....It's a Part 3 Slasher Flick mixed with a particularly nasty Rod Serling-style nightmare as written by a math wiz....The lovely Stephanie Moore gives us a heroine worth hooting....while not spoiling the mystery of the crazy Cubism altogether..... ...

Performance-wise, this third chapter might be the best movie of the bunch.
Cube Zero moves along at a brisk pace, doling out its death-knells in a reliable cadence, delivering a surprisingly solid balance between high-end gore and a nifty narrative that actually makes sense.
