Review of The Cube

The Cube (2013)
1/10
Very confusing movie!

Warning: Spoilers
Either I am missing a profound deep meaning or this movie is simply bad. Very confusing scenes and poor acting not only makes this movie hard to follow but difficult to take seriously. The significance of the cubes is not explained, where they came from or what their purpose was. The ending scene does little to explain any of the viewer's many questions throughout the movie, and it all feels kind of rushed. Maybe the director wanted a big symbolic ending, but in this case it just seems unfinished and frankly ridiculous. All in all the storyline leaves much to be desired and the concept does not seem like it is carried to a close. (not to mention the acid induced party with a man dressed up as the grim reaper reciting poetry for no apparent reason whilst everyone else acts psychedelic)

Appreciating that this film was extremely low budget and still managed to have some nice cuts and one believable part of dialogue, the script and acting are mostly way below average. The lead actress who is actually pretty good can impossibly carry the lead actor who manages to make every word he says sound insincere or like the start of a joke. The dialogue is messy and unnatural. Lines are left hanging in the air and life changing lies are confessed to without much (if any) believable reaction by the other party. I would advise against watching this movie unless you have a good sense of humour and can laugh at the accidental absurd hilarity of its poorly written dialogue and bad acting.
