[edit] Spoiler request

I would appreciate it if someone who has seen the movie would fill in what the "banal revelation" at the end of the film is. Put {{spoiler}} before the part where you describe the ending. --66.81.122.242 23:17, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Merge request

I don't think it should be merged - all cast is different (clem 00:01, 9 August 2005 (UTC))

If other movies with sequels are handled in seperate entries, so should this.

As a matter of fact all movies and their sequels (or prequels) should be treated in one article. As an example, the movies in the Starwars saga should be in one article containing the 6 movies in chronological order of premier (not of the story). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 200.89.98.117 (talk • contribs) 2005-09-19 20:03:04 UTC.

• No series of movies has been handled that way, to my knowledge. Uncle G 22:55, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Rather than merging, I've created the Cube series article that describes and links to all 3 of the movies. -- Bovineone 02:08, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Plot

More should be written about the plot and storyline. Look at the Cube article, that's a good length and description. 128.6.175.67 20:59, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

Who wrote this plot summary? It's clunky and terrible and misses the subtleties of the movie. Could whoever created the list of traps please write the plot, since that author clearly understood what the movie was about. The plot needs to line up with the traps at the end of the article (eg, the trap list is correct in talking about the shifting of rooms through one another. The current plot summary just calls it "spikes" coming out of the wall. This is wrong!!)

Also, fix the second paragraph of the plot - nothing "gets her from the ceiling". She simply falls upwards, due to the twisted laws of physics in the next room. 210.49.54.79 (talk) 11:38, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Is this still a stub?

God knows I've seen shorter articles than this (not labelled as stubs, that is). Jobjörn 21:10, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

Not really. I've removed {{stub}}. In future, be bold. ··gracefool |☺ 22:01, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Alexander Trust?

I haven't seen Hypercube for a while, but this entry mentions "Alexander Trust"... But I only remember hearing it as "Alex Trust", thus leaving the name androgynous; could be a man, could also be a woman. Correct me if I'm wrong.

• Perhaps it was in the DVD or website... ··gracefool |☺ 06:11, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

I saw Hypercube about 30 mins ago and this is a bit of a spoiler but Sasha is actually Alex Trusk. Not Trust. Kate says that Sasha is a nickname for Alexandera, and finds out that Sasha is Alex Trusk. Max Valentine 19:39, 31 October 2006. (UTC)

[edit] Tracton

It's been a really long time since I saw this movie, but I remember in the credits, it lists the man at the end (who shoots Kate) as "Tracton". Would that be worth mentioning? VQts 03:12, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

• He was only identified as Tracton in the alternate ending on the DVD special features when Kate turns to say "Well Tracton, shall we..." Since they didn't use that alternate ending I don't think it's worth mentioning as it does not effect the main story. I tried to find more info about Traction, but it seems everyone else is just as confused about the character. Is it common to credit the actors that didn't make the final cut? Traq 20:23, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Informality in the Cannabalism section?

In this section the reader is referred to as "we" and the adjective "poor" is used to describe Jerry. Should this be changed? Puff0rx 04:45, 4 September 2006 (UTC) Puff0rx

[edit] Time/Space

Sorry, this is me being really pedantic and neeky, but is there a better way of saying that time and space seem to merge into one? It's just, that time and space do merge into one. In real life. sorry, but it'll annoy physics nerds like me. Doctorp9999 10:48, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Relationships to Izon

Several of the character descriptions were inaccurate or assumed information not given in the film. Assuming characters died of starvation is not supported by any part of the movie. Simon Grady resorting to cannibalism is also not supported despite his references to hunger. If anything the movie suggests this not to be the case as there is no evidence of any blood near his mouth or any other behavior suggestive of cannibalism. There is no reason given as to why the physicist is in the cube or how he died. The previous comments were assumptions. Jerry is killed by spinning razor blades (per the movie) that react to movement, not a tesseract. I corrected these. Leavemade 23:56, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Simon Grady resorting to cannibalism is implied during one of the scenes when he asks a Jerry from an alternate reality if he is hungry. This is followed by a scream from Jerry as the camera zooms out. Naturally, to not scare his preys away, it would make sense that he cleans up after each meal. Mysterial 07:24, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Removed Redundant Trap

ive removed the "razor cube" trap from the list because it is already listed and explained directly above it(The Expanding Tesseract) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.14.33.214 (talk) 21:03, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
