a wrinkle in time
May. 1st, 2003 11:32 pmOkay. No secret, I've got a deep and abiding love for the movie Cube. In the trying times, I pop in my bastard taped-off-SFC Cube tape and feel eons better.
Now, thanks to NetFlix, I can safely say that Cube 2: Hypercube is just exactly as good as its cheapo B-movie predecessor.
Which is to say that it's just slightly better than Cube 1, because if it were only exactly as good, it would be worse, because it's a sequel. Everything is just slightly more twisted, slightly more satisfying, slightly better explained, a perfect sequel.
No booby traps this time, but we've got variable time-speed rooms, military-industrial conspiracy, and a tesseract. We get to see outside the Cube, just a little, just enough to make Cube 2 exactly as good as Cube 1. If you see what I'm saying.
Anyway, I have to watch it again now, and dub it before it goes back to NetFlix. More on this Cube as it unfolds.
Mmmm, Cube 2, Cuuuubbbe TWOOOOOO!

You'd'a loved Cube 2. Wish you were here so I'd have an excuse to watch it again.
