                        CUBE DVD
                                            4 Cheeses

          This review is for Matt, Drew, and Chirag who I forced to watch this.

        Characters:
        Worth: Depressing, shifty guy
        Leaven: Math genious       Likeable
        Holloway: Annoying
        Quentin: Black Guy who was a cop
        Kazan: Autistic     Good actor
        Rennes: Escape artist
        Alderson: Let's just say that he's only in the movie for a minute

        Plot:
        Some people wake up in a Cube. A 14 by 14 by 14 cube. They are all
     wind up together and realize that the structure they are in is many cubes in
     one giant cube. And guess what... There's no food, water, or a discernable
     way out. The place is also full of death traps. Yeahhhh death traps. As
     you would figure people turn on each other and kill on another. Though
     they have to try and put aside their differences and survive.
        The plot is rather interesting because nothing is really put into plain
     view for the viewer and it leaves you thinking about the movie. You might
     have to be patient with it though because it is kind of slow.

     SFX:
          The special effects are pretty good for a movie filmed on 1 and 1/2
     sets. Some of the death traps are computer generated and you can't even
     tell. because they're mixed with real people. overall they are good.

     GORE:
         A guy is chopped into tiny cubes by a razor fence
         Acid on one guys face and it melts through
         Random Impalings      And a nasty cut

      DVD:
      This is the best DVD from Trimark that I've seen. It has a preview,
      stills, storyboards, and a commentary. I really enjoyed the commentary
      because you find out lots of cool things. Like that the movie was actually
      filmed on one set. It's worth it to hear the commentary it you like the movie.

      Things I learned:
      Not to annoy crazy people when stuck somewhere
      Not to walk into deathraps
      Not to build giant cubes
      Never ever try and swing across a seemingly bottomless place

      Bottom Line:

      Cube is one of those movies that puts ordinary people into an impossible
      situation and shows you what they do to try and survive. It really makes you
      think about what you would do. Overall It is a cool movie with good special
      effects. Though the plot was kind of slow it kept you on your toes and the
      actors were likable enough. I really enjoyed the deathtraps too. (Who
      doesn't) Rent it and enjoy and if you have time listen to the commentary.
