I never saw or even knew there was a Cube movie. I videotaped the Hypercube
from TV a few months ago, since the commercials looked interesting, and my
old VCR added some special effects of its own so I replaced it with a new
VCR/DVD combo Apex ADV-3800 (has a couple problems already). I liked the
spinning thing that changed with the peoples movements.

This spiral design is mesmerizing. Have you tried it with transparency
instead of reflection, or a combination of the two? Very disorienting view
too, being able to see four of the sides. Reminds me a little of the end of
the movie as it fell apart.

Hmmm, seems the more I think about it maybe I did see at least some part of
Cube. Colors were all red or orange and black? Don't know why I can't
remember it better if I had actually seen it. Maybe because I only saw
commercials for that one.

Oh, it needs the number 60959 (if I recall that correctly) scrawled
someplace. :-)

Just found this web page about it, for those of you who haven't seen the
movie.  http://www.scifi.com/cube2/synopsis/
