Lorsqu'elles se réveillent, huit personnes qui ne se connaissent pas se découvrent prisonnières d'un labyrinthe de salles cubiques : l'hypercube. Dans cette étrange structure, les lois connues du temps et de l'espace ne s'appliquent plus. La survie de chacun dépend de la capacité du groupe à percer les secrets de ce cauchemar géométrique...

I remember feeling disappointed by the Cube series after the first one, but I couldn't recall why that disappointment came. Well, now I've refreshed my memory, and I'm quite apprehensive about the prequel to Cube. Cube 2: Hypercube is a film that greatly undermines what was established in the first movie. The second film lacks the atmosphere, the constant tension that accompanies you, and ultimately, it lacks the necessary creativity; it becomes just frenzied nonsense that torments you.

When creators of a horror hit say during filming that they have nothing to lose, it's high time to run away. From an average well-shot idea, this instantly turns into nonsensical and over-technologized amateur work which involves everything including the kitchen sink, and at the same time nothing at all. Instead of an unsettling atmosphere of differently colored cubes, it suddenly relies on visual sterility with truly ridiculous traps like a rotating square, and all quantum or spacetime references are briefly mentioned and immediately forgotten. There's no talk of any clever time paradoxes either. Moreover, the characters are just naive puppets who enthusiastically throw themselves into the most suspicious places, and instead of desperation, they have an insanely filmed love number during absolute disorientation, making it very clear, very soon, that this will be rated as a complete failure.

After some horrible reviews I was expecting a really big dud, but it wasn’t – though barely. It’s pretty much the same, with a surprisingly more impressive visual stylization than in the first one, some traps and kills are interestingly sophisticated, but unfortunately the final impression is spoiled by a horribly botched ending – you scriptwriters really failed. I won’t watch it again because of it.

A very bad sequel to a good first part. The interiors of the Cube look good while they are static, but the moment they start moving that impression is gone. The special effects aren’t good and the collapse of the Hypercube is even worse. The story is a copy of the first part, likewise with the characters (the actors are also very wooden). What ruined everything was the ending, up until then it was at least three-star worthy.
