Cube Zero (2004)
6/10
Reasonable and Unnecessary Beginning
18 November 2005
In 1997, lovers of sci-fi were surprised by "Cube", one of the most original films I have ever seen. It was hard to label a genre for this cult-movie: drama, fantasy, horror, mystery, sci-fi and thriller are listed in IMDb for this Kafkaesque unforgettable tale. Later the opportunists released the completely unnecessary "Cube 2: Hypercube". In the present fashionable procedure in the cinema industry, "Cube Zero" tries to explain the beginning of the saga. The story is very weird, and the explanation is based on a totalitarian society, a kind of George Orwell's vision in "1984". Unfortunately, the screenplay has lots of holes; further, the caricaturist character of the crazy and sadistic scientist spoils any attempt of making a serious movie. In the end, "Cube Zero" is only a very forgettable entertainment. My vote is six.

Title (Brazil) "Cubo Zero" ("Cube Zero")
