[edit] Violates NPOV

The passage "the film comes across as a deliberate attempt to forget the ultra-tech mistakes of Hypercube.", among others violates NPOV and should be deleted.

[edit] delete discussion

This article should be deleted. All it does is reprint the summaries of the pages from each of the Cube movie pages. It very briefly describes the recurring themes of the movies at the bottom, but does not discuss the origin of the cubes at all, even though this is apparently disclosed in Cubes 2 and 0. And what is this mysterious revelation at the end of Cube 2? I haven't watched the movie. I came to the Wikipedia article to find out how it ends. --66.81.122.242 23:14, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

  • Just because the discussion of the recurring themes is currently inadequate doesn't mean that it can't be further improved; this article was only created a few days ago. The reason why the description for Cube Zero matches that from the Cube Zero article is only because of the heritage of its creation; the other 2 movies have much further expanded summaries on their corresponding articles. The Cube Zero article is really the one that needs to be expanded further. Unfortunately, I've only seen Cube and Hypercube so far. -- Bovineone 00:39, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
This page shouldn't be deleted but all POV needs removal. How can the third film be described as rectifying the mistakes of the second when critics received the second film more warmly (see ratings on rottentomatoes.com)? How can the conclusion the "no comfort can be gained from a clone surviving" be justified? You may like the films or dislike them but Wikipedia is not the place for that discussion. 193.129.65.37 11:03, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
Yes, I agree. I'd also like to note that even if critics did say the movie is bad, it doesn't mean it's bad. It only means that it's been called bad by critics. Many film articles don't seem to make this distinction. --Scarlet-=Spider-DavE=- 04:44, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Language

Needs to be a lot more formal. Satchfan 23:34, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Ok, I've added the inappropriate-tone template to the article. -- Bovineone 04:50, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
Cheers. It *really* needs it. Satchfan 07:05, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
I kinda like the informal tone to it. It provides a depth to the article, and makes it a little more interesting to read than the other stuff on here, which isn't bad per se, but it's still a breath of fresh air. Also, you're not likely to find a guy who enjoys horror movies and the dissection thereof who will speak with elevated diction and tone on command. 64.40.48.193 04:34, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Original research

The "Themes" section especially seems to draw unsourced (and possibly unsourcable) conclusions from the film. See also the last entry from 193.129.65.37 under "delete discussion". 68.39.174.238 20:43, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Contact

Don't you have a feeling it pays homage to both Rubik's Cube and Tetris? Mostly to the former... I would like to make the idea reach the minds behind this work (guionists/scriptwriters of course, why people think directors are so much?) for a more complex scenario (before it becomes an overused idea) involving the rubik and tetris family of objects (Pyraminx, Skewb Diamond, Megaminx, Dogic, Alexander's Star, Rubik's Clock,Rubik's Magic, Welltris, Tetris Blast, 3d Tetris, Tetris Plus, Tetrisphere, Giga Tetris, Bio Tetris, the New Tetris, Tetris Elements and of course the original Tetris)... Well... This is the discussions so... It's not vandalizing and it could (I hope) eventually reach those who can tune their minds to the project. GTB.

[edit] Sequel to hypercube?

Does anyone know if another sequel is in the works? Cube 2: Hypercube was pretty much completely independent of the other two, and I'm just wondering if there are any plans to make a sequel to it (or another sequel/prequel to the original for that matter).
