Cube

The support Quentin is standing on is visible just before Kazan drops in.

When Kazan lowers himself into the blue sound-activated trap room, the set cube wobbles from left to right enough to spoil the illusion (though only for about two seconds) that the cube is solid, inflexible metal.

When Quentin drops Holloway, the "clothes rope" is still hanging from the door, under Quentin, and held by the others in the room.

But after the cutaway, the rope has disappeared.

Quentin beats Worth brutally with a boot, clearly ready to kill him or at least to knock him out.

However, Worth stands up again with only one bruise under his right eye, a single scratch, and a stream of blood running from his ear.

These are what Star Trek fans call "tasteful wounds," referring to Captain Kirk frequently receiving a thin slice of blood across the cheekbone, chest, or shoulder.

Leaven claims that the problem of finding factors or primes is astronomical.

This is ridiculous.

It is very easy to determine if a 3-digit number is prime.

The largest factor you have to check is 31, and 2, 3, 5, 7 and 11 are all very easy to check, leaving only 6 factors to check.

In addition, powers of primes for 3-digit numbers are MUCH easier to checkthere are only 11 primes that have squares, only 4 that have cubes, and higher than this there are only powers of 2 and 3, and those are trivial.

In short, the calculations should be simple.

Not astronomical.

Leaven cracks a lens on her glasses in the beginning of the film.

However, during some shots, the crack in the lens is missing.

When they get Rennes back into the room after he has been shot in the face with acid, the smoke comes from behind his head and not his face, like it should.

Kazan is supposed to be a math genius, something that the plot hinges on, but he makes several mistakes when calculating the number of prime factors to find out whether a room is trapped or not.

He says that 462 has three prime factors, when it has four, that 206 has four when it only has two and that 563 has two and 911 has three when both are actually prime numbers.

- PLOTAfter you enter a new room, the chamber doors automatically spin their handles and close shut.

There is a scene near the end where Quentin closes a chamber door himself while another character is talking.

The director admits in the commentary that this is because that particular shot was done earlier in the filming before he decided they would close automatically.

Throughout the movie they are told to suck on the buttons from their shirts.

In one scene, once Holloway climbs into the next room, Quentin is sucking on his button.

He immediately speaks to Worth, muddling some words because of the button in his mouth.

All of a sudden, the button disappears from his mouth and is in his hand again, and he then puts it back into his mouth.

When Leaven first checks the rooms' set of numbers for primes, she has to think for a few seconds for each set.

The first set of numbers she checks ends in 5; the second set ends in 2.

Numbers ending in 2 or 5 (other than 2 and 5 themselves) by definition cannot be prime.

Someone proficient at math, as Leaven is, wouldn't need to think about the numbers; she'd register they were multiples of 2 and 5 and move straight to the last number.

In the opening, the camera zooms in on an eye that is a very light grey-ish blue.

Camera then cuts to a man lying on the floor.

The implication is that it's this man's eye.

However, the man's eyes are brown.

- PLOTWhen Leaven figured out that adding up the digits in the numbers gave her their coordinates in the cube, she would have almost immediately noticed that the coordinates were not in sequence from one room to the next (since the rooms were shifting).

When Alderson enters the last chamber and starts to walk forward, his arms are at his sides.

However, after the mesh hits him, his right hand falls to pieces and is shown to be perpendicular to his body.

However, right before you hear the "swoosh" of the mesh, you see his arms move off from his sides, making this possible.

This was a pretty good sci-fi thriller that is filled with twists. I exited that this movie is filmed before 20's.

For all the ones that get scared very easily like me, listen, this is not a scary movie.

Not so many movies can make a long-lasting impression on me. But this one is exceptional.

There are some movies which are to be smelled, some to be tasted, but this one should be chewed and digested until full. I have never seen this sort of a concept used in any other movie.

Bad dialogue, hammy acting, contrived drama, yeah, this movie has its flaws, but considering it was made on a budget of around $300,000 U.S.

The movie either think the audience are stupid or it is targeted for people with low intelligence. Yes, there are some puzzles, seemingly complex terminologies (for certain people) but in the end, none of that actually matters because they are not necessary in producing a good content.

The world of Canadian movies is usually highly unknown or...well....

This was an intelligently written movie that probably took considerable time to write. This was a movie that movies such as "Circle" imitate but cannot duplicate.
