From the character setting and conception skills of "Hypercube" alone, this film may reach a height in the field of science fiction movies at the time, but everyone is questioning why it is obvious that the first part of the good characters and conceptual models becomes the second part. Broken jar broken? After thinking about it for a long time, I think there are some basis from the production and business perspectives of the beginning of this series: 1. First of all, the first part is "Cube", which uses many quantitative and qualitative sciences such as linear theory and prime number latitude in mathematics. The completion of the model design is based on the existing scientific theory, which can be studied and logically self-consistent. This is also the reason why we can see that the first protagonist can finally get out of the Rubik’s Cube. However, the ending does not explain the game’s behind-the-scenes master and more. The background of the brainstorming story is very simple and understandable. If you want to follow the path of a commercial film, keep a little suspense, so that Cube can become a potential hit series. 2. Then Lionsgate transferred the sequel story of this work to "Hypercube" and replaced it with a new director and screenwriter. However, it is clear that the story can no longer "feed" the audience by relying on the first existing scientific and theoretical knowledge. So, Hypercube quoted the "four-dimensional" theory. Even if you don't have a deep understanding of physics and mathematics, then the opening title will give a good explanation. Three-dimensional broadly speaking is what we call: length, width, height, which is the world we know well, which can be understood as "east-west, north-south, up and down". The fourth dimension is "time". Although the scientific community has not yet demonstrated the existence of four-dimensional space in a real sense, the parallel theory of the universe is our chivalrous four-dimensional space. Equal sign, but we can imagine the hypercube as a black hole, that is, the protagonist we see sees another self parallel to this space in the same time axis. 3. Hypercube quoted a very flattering but extreme scientific theory, which led to an unimaginable ending in the film: the heroine escaped from the collapsed cube and brought something out of it. She woke up and found herself lying in a pool of water. Facing the boss who doesn't know who it is, then die... In fact, it’s understandable that the film was made like this, because so far the scientific community has not been able to show 4D with the naked eye, let alone 2D movies. If you want the audience to see it clearly, unless, like the first film, it is confirmed by contemporary science Mathematics or physics technology. If you have to give a rationalized ending based on the "scientific concept" set by the director himself, it will be more scolded than such an ending. Scientists are not needed. Many fans who are fascinated by scientific knowledge will be enough to overthrow it. In addition, although I don't know how the film was filmed, this ending can only be understood as a longer period of filming. The second half obviously abandoned the orthodox scientific theory and fell into an absurd ending. 4. So what we saw in the third part is the prequel "Zero" of "Cube" instead of the third episode. If you want to shoot the third episode, you must give a statement about the ending of the second part, or create a new plot in another way. , Presumably, the audience will once again see a few strangers locked together to escape without knowing why, and the plot that has nothing to do with the previous work will be disgusted, and there is no more avant-garde science and technology to support the existence of the Rubik’s Cube, so it can be said to be true Want to see the third episode, unless you quote new science and technology, or explain the ending of the first and second parts, etc. 5. There is an interesting point in time. I don’t know if you have noticed it. Audiences who often watch Lionsgate movies should know that the "Cube" series was completed from 1997 to 2004, and in 2004 Lionsgate opened another A classic work "Saw" (chainsaw horror) with the same theme of escape from the room, but the main line of the film is no longer showing off science and technology, but replaced by a strong basis for high IQ criminals, the same room escape, suspense main line, and all aspects The set is exactly the same as the narrative method of "Cube". The important thing is that it was a big success once it was released, and it became the most successful suspense series movie today. Obviously Lionsgate is using its prior experience to invite directors and screenwriters to tell stories. However, Saw's great success is that all the original crimes are based on the human assassin, not the invisible assassin, the cube (because There must be a behind-the-scenes reason for catching so many people), the ending of the story is obviously better, and the room for screenwriters is obviously much larger than that of Cube, and a new sequel narrative can be opened almost at any time, so Lionsgate The choice to shelve the Cube series to Saw production. Nowadays, the Saw series is also getting worse and worse, and the more it is edited, the more absurd. The male number one has long been dead and can continue to thrive. Obviously, the audience has not bought it. Lionsgate chose to restart the series. But just from the development of current film science and technology and the endless fresh blood
