Cube Trilogy

Having just finished watching the final two entries in the Cube Trilogy, I may guardedly recommend it as an awesome 3-movie set to watch back to back to back. In particular, the films that you need to get are:
As is often the case with such things, the first entry in the series is the strongest and has the most striking visuals and really the strongest acting. The director commentary on Cube is really interesting, and I recommend it highly, as it gives great insight into the creation of a striking film on a super slim budget. Listening to things like that only serves as a reminder that it would be fascinating to be involved with such an enterprise, and should really be a goal to move in that direction.

Hypercube is the weakest entry in the set, as they tried to move too far a field of the things which made the first movie so great. While it was amusing in a Star Trek kind of way to try to incorporate a bunch of half-baked quantum-physics ideas into the plot, and the references to the original movie were numerous and done with the respect they merited, their aspirations just wrote checks that their budget and imagination couldn't cash. Cube Zero gets back to basics, mostly, and as such finishes strongly, and ends the series on a high note, at least in as much as a film where most everyone comes to a bad end can end on a high note. While not the greatest films by any means, you can do worse, and I think it would be a good time to watch them in a row - try it out! At the very least, it's shorter than most movie marathons I could propose.
