If you cant answer these then this movie was pointless (spoilers)


If you can answer me these questions about the movie, maybe I'll stop bagging it & respect it more, they are simple questions that every movie-goer should be able to answer when they go to see a film that actually has a plot that wants to convey a point or message (who,what,when,where,why)? I cannot comprehend a 7.5 rating on IMDB!

Who built the "cube"? Don't say the government unless you can answer...

Why was the "cube" built? Based on my understanding all you need to be is good with numbers, to survive the cube. Was it built to haven criminals because if so then all you need to be is good at maths, or suffer from autism? How are people determined, "valid" to be shoved in this cube?

How was the "cube" built? Don't say it was done my multiple companies, because surely not one person would ask-"why are we designing massive cubes, with torturous items in them?". Give me logic to how the "cube" moves, because I dont see a machine powerful enough to move 200 different cubes? At the edges of the cube why is there nothingness? Surely nothing could suspend a cube this big above ground? Tell me what could hold it up? How high up could they be & how would the government explain for the cost of a multi-billion dollar cube if in fact the government designed it?

What is the purpose of the "cube"? Give me a good reason other than the director trying to entertain the audience with the most gruesome deaths imaginable.

My rating is 1/10 for not going anymore than 90 mins...I don't care about how entertained you guys were if a movie follows no logic, no reason & no purpose then surely you either don't deserve to have an opinion about any films or have had a lobotomy!

If you truelly deep down in your heart loved this movie passionately, my real question should be...when are you going to jump off that cliff in front of you?



oh you got a murderous rage in you!

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this yet, but most of your questions are actually explained in the 3rd film, Cube Zero, which is a prequel set before and during the original Cube film.

This is the most amazing thread I have ever come across.
I only came here after watching The Cube to shed some light on the mysteries of the film as its simply so interesting to converse about.
I do this pretty much everytime I watch a movie such as this whose endings make you ponder: like The Shining.
However I honestly have read through the whole damn thing in amazement at the constant flaming. It has carried on so amazingly long!

I'm terribly sorry James but you honestly are a horrible person. I don't wish to fuel your fire, merely in vein to hopefully make you realise but one thing:

You cannot ask questions to only project hate and profanity back.

I would also like to add my two cents about the movie. It seems very skeptical but The Cube is real. It is not alien or purgatory. They clearly stated in the film it was human built. In the sequels (bad as they are) it also shows you it was an organisation that built it. It is still very odd indeed. Can you imagine human beings making a 17,000 room torture chamber which is impossibly high and wide? Amazing concept!

I enjoyed the movie for what it was meant to be: a psychologically tense film about whats going on INSIDE The Cube itself. I would love more answers as anybody would about anything we don't understand, but we simply wont get them all.

What's that Jamez? Over there, quick! Oh, you missed it. It was the point. Shame.

"Sir, let those laugh that win."

One of the worst acting/scripts of all time lol

I just needed to post and say that the OP is an ignorant fool. He's clearly been sitting too long in front of Hollywood's crap movies to know that sometimes elements of a story are not explained. He should consider watching some more foreign movies or reading a book. I truly pity him.

I don't really care about what you want from me.
