Familiar, Yet enjoyable: A Review of the Japanese Adaptation of "Cube"
9 April 2023
If you have seen the first cube movie , this one should feel very familiar. I have to admit - it was still an enjoyable ride. This movie is still different enough to get a kick out of it. It has Japanese themes portrayed, like seniority, childhood drama, childhood vs adulthood. It has mystery elements, lowkey mathematical elements, but most of all interpersonal drama.

Don't expect a big budget and lots of effects. This one plays it safe. If you are a fan of these type of movies (actors trapped in a room e.g. The platform, Coherence, 12 angry men etc) I'd say give it a go.

In conclusion, the Japanese adaptation of "Cube" is an enjoyable ride for those who appreciate the original film and are fans of the genre. Although it plays it safe in some respects, the movie is different enough to keep viewers engaged and entertained. If you're a fan of suspenseful, character-driven films, give this one a go.
