Mostly because I realized right off the bat that Cube was essentially a one-room play. It may be unfair, but it poisoned the rest of the movie for me. The second movie was of course more of the same. But what I really enjoyed about the movie was the time/reality bending of all the traps featured in the film. No longer were we tied to simple slaughter machines (the entirety of the Saw franchise); no, we had reality-warping slaughter machines. Why is that better? I don't know. That's just the Philip K. Dick fan in me. Of course, everything else in this movie is bad. Bad acting, bad direction, bad plot. I still enjoyed it more than the first film, and I'm sure that puts me in a very small minority. I've never bothered to seek out the further sequels. I really can’t say that I enjoyed the original Cube. Mostly because I realized right off the bat that Cube was essentially a one-room play.
