thiago s @Thiagostone Oct 8 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Robson C @RT82519826 Jul 6 Um grupo de estranhos desperta em uma sala parecida com um cubo e eles não tem ideia de como foram parar ali. Assim, eles se aliam, tentando encontrar uma saída, enfrentando as armadilhas existentes. Remake japonês do já cult de 1998, praticamente segue os mesmos acontecimentos do filme canadense. Porém há algumas diferenças. No filme canadense, os membros do grupo são apresentados e suas profissões e habilidades descritas. Aqui, tirando uma apresentação inicial, nada mais é dito pelos indivíduos. Praticamente, toda a ação do grupo é focada em duas pessoas: Ide, um típico bruto silencioso de bom coração, comum em obras japonesas, e Goto. O personagem de Hikaru Tashiro faz um adolescente que desperta traumas em Goto. O resto dos personagens acaba não dizendo para o que vieram, a não ser representar o personagem mais velho e mandão e o que vai endoidar, A personagem feminina praticamente some após a cena de apresentação. O problema dessa produção, como na original, está no conceito, mas ele não se mantém por muito tempo. Então depende que os seus personagens conquistem o público. Ao mesmo tempo, ele tem que surpreender a todo momento, mesmo que estabeleça algumas regras, como que as salas que possuem números primos têm armadilhas. Apesar disso, gostei mais desse remake do que do original, por causa de algumas diferenças. Hoje em dia, o conceito já foi usado e abusado como em O Poço, que explorou outras linhas de ficção.

Naturally, I decided to give it a shot anyways. I suppose it’s okay if one has never seen any of the other Cube films, though not necessarily connected to them, it’s really just a foreign imitation that lacks the originality of the original, the unique characters and franchise development of the sequel, and the depth and exposition to the franchise that the prequel provided. This version does not lessen those films any, but it doesn’t add anything to the Cube-verse... until the post-credits scene. The idea of different 'cubes' around the world is also an interesting one but doesn't the Cube-verse just turn into The Cabin in the Woods at some point if it goes that route?

Daqueles que pensamos: quem aprovou o roteiro, qual o sentido de se fazer um remake, quem escalou os atores, e por ai vai...Fuja do título...só cai neste Cubo, pois gosto do conceito da trilogia original.

Cause if you were, then it's pretty impossible that you wouldn't have heard of the massive hit for the channel, Cube. A precursor to Saw in a lot of ways, Cube told the story of a group of people who were placed in some sort of futuristic prison like structure where every room they entered could potentially some sort of deadly trap, designed to keep them all inside. The franchise had 2 more films (sequel and a prequel) released in the years since the original film, but recognition of the gruesome series has largely died down as SyFy's programming has understandably changed in the almost 30 years since. This makes it all the more interesting that it was chosen for a new adaptation, remakes aren't anything new in the world of horror, but usually it's something a bit more high profile. I really enjoy the Cube franchise, but being honest, it's not one I find myself revisiting all too often, not to mention that the lore of the films make doing a remake a bit on the pointless side. By that I mean that these stories don't have to be particularly deep, take a new group of people and throw them in, it's the main reason why Koji Tokuo and Yasuhiko Shimizu's remake doesn't fall flat, but still spurs the question of why. A group of people awaken and find themselves trapped in a structure where any room could kill them at a moment's notice. With no information, no supplies, and only each other to rely on, can these survivors find a way to freedom? If you're familiar with any of the previous films, than this will likely sound familiar to what you've come to expect from the franchise. For brand new fans watching this as their first entry into the series, Cube is likely to be reminiscent of other recent killer room films like Escape Room, The Platform, and Circle. Where it falters in comparison for those films though is building our connection to the characters we're following, we know that there's a good chance that a lot of the characters we're watching are going to end up being brutally killed in a number of different ways, but having a good investment in these characters makes it hurt more and makes us care when they go. Cube doesn't exactly hit the mark when it comes to this. Instead it relies on our feeling about certain character tropes in horror films that we might be more concerned about (children and older folks) in hope of building an investment in the small group. This worked more efficiently in the original as one character became the antagonist of sorts much earlier on and gave viewers an easy outlet to direct their anger at as traps were set, in addition another character had a loose connection to the Cube itself and this played somewhat into their motivation of moving through the various rooms. Our film here doesn't feature anything as overt, there is a character who ultimately does become an antagonist of sorts, but it comes far later in the film, and his motivation is much more justified which makes it hard to compare him to Quentin from the original film. Our lead character Goto (Masaki Suda, Kamen Rider) is also given a tragic backstory which our Cube will surely give an opportunity to rectify, but this also gives him more conviction. Worth (played by David Hewlett in the original) had helped to design the cube and felt regret and remorse for the role he played which motivated him to do what he could to help save the others. Goto isn't given any of the same loose threads, and is instead motivated by the acts of the others around him that spur him to be the hero they need to escape. It mostly works, and Goto IS given a chance to redeem the faults of his past, but given how the story doesn't follow the events of the original verbatim, you may be left feeling that the way his story ends is a bit hollow. Cube certainly is bloody, most of the traps involves things being cut, poked, stabbed, or ripped away from the prisoners, and as their prison adapts and evolves around them, it's fun seeing the different ways it continues to punish everyone throughout the story. As I haven't watched the films lately, I can't say with certainty that all the traps featured were ones in the original film, I have a fairly big suspicion that some might have been pulled from the subsequent 2 films that followed. If that is the case, Cube still manages to put together a small greatest hits of some of the most gruesome traps shown. Seriously, whoever designed this prison should absolutely do some partner work with John Kramer in Saw X, but you know…in the past, because Kramer is dead and he has an apprenti-okay not the point. I'd imagine that Cube is going to serve as a franchise starter, the end leaves it very open for an infinite amount of sequels, and even though I don't feel that this film necessarily needs to exist, I enjoyed following from room to room and wouldn't mind seeing the next story set in the spiraling maze of death.
