Interesting, I hadn't realized this was a cube already in existence. Neat!

I've broken a few rubix cubes in my day and so many of them have hallow squares so I'm not surprised you could hide stuff in one. Hell if you customize one you can probably get it to hold a huge amount of data.

These cubes actually come completely apart to replace the springs. You could probably put a good 4-5 micro-SD cards in the middle plastic ball, but it's not exactly a quick operation. But, yeah, quite a bit of empty space in them.

Actor's forced Snowden deep voice is hilarious. He's trying so hard, and yet it sounds like a 12 year old trying to sound older.

Also expect at least two forced action/drama scenes that never happened.

They are staging the Hong Kong hotel meeting, of which real footage exists, as if it were an action scene.

A movie similar to Primer would have been so cool

This movie looks like is has a good chance of doing a better job than even The Imitation Game at ruining and fundamentally misrepresenting a topic I care about and a person I respect.

The Imitation Game was bad?

Where Snowden goes back in time and reveals American military and intelligence secrets to preempt its transformation into a global surveillance and military superpower?

It was better than "Enigma" certainly but it still wasn't as high fidelity as it could have been.
