For some reason reviewers on this site are adamant on remakes being "faithful" to the original. They want crazy CGI and super scary horror scenes (not that the original was scary at all... can we talk about that? People complain that the remake doesn't fit the horror genre when the original wasn't in the first place), but unfortunately for them, this movie doesn't deliver on that. It does, however, deliver on other fronts that actually make the movie a worthwhile watch, like more drama, better character development, a more interesting ending, etc. What bothers me the most is that people complain about the introduction of backstory that occurs outside the Cube when all it does is give more insight on a character's motivation. There was never a "magic" of only seeing the Cube in the first place, so don't pretend like it mattered.

I have never seen a remake failed this much. Everything that is great about the original is absent : the music, the tension and most importantly the philosophical conversations between the characters. All this is replaced by a cheesy subplot that doesnt add anything to the story. Showing life outside the cube completely distroys the concept of the movie. We don't know much about the characters either so it is difficult to understand the progression and there is zero subtility in the way the story is written and developped. It's amazing they could make such a bad movie based on this cult classic.

This film begins with a man waking up and finding himself in a symmetrical room with an exit hatch on all four walls along with one on the floor and one on the ceiling. After choosing to go through one of the exists leading into a similar room, he accidentally triggers an unseen mechanism which results in square-shaped beams quickly protruding from one side of the room which kill him instantly. Then scene then shifts to another man waking up in a similar cube-shaped room and, after venturing from one room to the next, comes upon two other men and a boy who have found themselves in the same situation. Although none of them have any idea what they are doing in this place, one thing they do know is that some of the rooms they came upon were booby trapped. It's during this time that a female named "Kai Asako" (Anne Watanabe) joins them from an adjacent room during which time they all identify themselves. Not long afterward, they come upon an older man named "Kazumasa Ando" (Kotaro Yoshida) who initially believes that these 5 people have come to rescue him. Needless to say, he is quite disappointed to learn that they are also looking for a way out of this predicament as well--and the longer they remain in this environment the more hostile some of the people become. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that this remake of the 1997 movie wasn't nearly as good due in large part to some rather bad overacting from some of the cast members. Ironically, although the plot was very similar to the original movie, it did have a twist at the end which I thought was somewhat better. That being said, while I don't consider this movie to be bad by any means, I firmly believe that the original was better, and I have rated this particular picture accordingly. Average.

I dont really remember the first original one, but I started to watch this remake definitely because of the 1st one.... and yes, this is another master piece, master of crap!!! Never knew Japanese actors are so damn bad, or somehow they accidentally recruit all the worst actors in one movie. I am begging everyone of you to go see your living room floor for 120 mins instead of this master crap.

Well the original movie from 1997 had more mystery and action , this remake has more psychology and drama. I will say its nicely done, but left me somewhat empty, especially the ending, So i gave it a 7.
