Cube 2: Hypercube

Entertaining. Not quite mind warping for the story, but more for trying to grasp the mathematics that they throw at you. All the characters are stuck in a tesseract as some sort of imprisonment and are trying to find a way out. You have your balding fat guy who is nice to everyone, your senile old woman who people suspect might be hiding the truth, your knife weilding psycho, your geeky teenage computer programmer, your hot young lawyer in a slinky red dress, a blind girl with a real secret (the "plot twist"), and your main character. They meet up, some people yell at others, psycho tries to knife a few people, they try to solve the puzzel, realize that there's a bunch of dead scientists who are a billion times smarter than them who could't solve it lying around, and kinda go crazy. Psycho goes really psycho when he figures out the whole prallel universe aspect of things. Fat Guy is killed by a flying special effect, but Psycho runs into another Fat Guy later, kills him and takes his watch. At the end of the movie you see a version of Psycho wandering around with a half dozen watches, a bunch of name badges, and other jewelry and trophies from the other characters. Programmer and Lawyer have sex in a variable time speed room and that's the last we see of them as charcters. Blind girl is actually the world's most brilliant hacker who happens to be the one who derived the formula for the hypercube. There, I gave away the endeing. Oh yah, everyone dies. Now you hate me.
