** - Not a terrible film, but the arbitrary changes made to the successful formula of the 1st two films (“Cube” and “Cube 2: Hypercube”) didn’t work very well and made this third installment rather dull. This prequel decided to eschew the intellectual bent of the prior films and go for a more visceral horror/gore motif, as if the creators viewed a few of the “Saw” films and decided to go more in that direction. While not as unapologetically violent and sadistic as the apparently never-ending “Saw” series, this had that kind of general feel to it. “Cube Zero” was certainly a disappointment, but not entirely unwatchable, as the premise is still kind of neat.
