I wonder how this one will compare to the original? The original was a great idea in the beginning but got weird towards the end.

Welcome to a new dimension in fear.
In 1998, the internationally award-winning Cube became an instant suspense
classic. It established filmmaker Vincenzo Natali as a master of compact,
imaginative thrillers, and Cube remains one of the most talked-about SF
allegories ever.
There, six strangers found themselves inexplicably trapped within a maze of
interconnected rooms — many laden with lethal traps. Because these rooms,
thousands of them, would periodically shift and move like puzzle pieces,
survival became as much a matter of mathematics as of guts.
And that at least gave the doomed and the damned a fighting chance. In the
next-generation maze of Cube 2: Hypercube, there may only be the illusion of a
chance at escape.
Here, eight strangers awaken not in a cube of conventional, three-dimensional
reality, but in a tesseract, or "hypercube." The term, out of higher
mathematics, describes the theoretical construct of "the four-dimensional
analog of a cube." While the fourth dimension — beyond length, width and
depth — is generally considered to be time, a hypercube posits a fourth
spatial dimension.
What does that mean? In the clean, well-lit, horrifying reality of
screenwriters Sean Hood, Ernie Barbarash and Lauren McLaughlin, and
director-cinematographer Andrzej Sekula, this means a self-contained world
beyond Newtonian physics, beyond even quantum mechanics — a perverted
funhouse world where gravity may shift from room to room, rendering sideways
what was up or down ... where time is sped up for one person and slowed for
another, with no way to say who is at "normal" speed ... and where alternate
realities, different what-ifs, play out with results both poignant and
repugnant. The logical imagination on display here is almost devastating.
What is the secret of the hypercube? On what common thread do these subjects
hang — together or separately? Which of them knows what?
It is no illusion. No hypnosis. No reality-show trickery.
It's all real, whatever real means.
Because as one soul puts it, with all-too-deadly accuracy, "This place changes
your perception of what's possible."
, more suspense and it is overall better.
