Robbie Amell in ARQ (2016)
In a future where corporations battle against sovereign nations over the last of the world's energy supplies, young engineer Renton and Hannah find themselves attempting to save an experimental energy technology that could end the wars. The catch is, the technology has created a time loop that causes them to relive a deadly home invasion over and over again. They must figure out how to stop the time loop and come out of it alive.

    Disregard the negative reviews and see for yourself.

    Considering the others reviews of this movie i almost lost the opportunity to see it for myself.

    I think the movie was really well done and every piece was satisfactory, not every movie needs to have some plain ending. This movie had good actors, good writing, nice edit and a good ending. I may be wrong but i think people are criticizing this movie that hard because they couldn't understand it. Not a masterpiece, but considering the budget and the way the movie was made it was really good. It gave the viewers the information in small doses, small twists and good writing.

    Thanks Netflix for the opportunity to watch another good movie. See it for yourself.

    The problem with IMDb are the extreme reviews

    To get this out of the way, the movie is neither a 10 nor a 1 and the end is a bit unsatisfying.

    This being said, this movie is enjoyable if you can stand the "Groundhogs Day" mechanics. I would definitely recommend the movie for friends of mine who like Science Fiction movies. Maybe I would even buy the BluRay.

    It is full of twists, surprises, I can understand the emotions of the characters and I really like how the characters developed. Yes, there are plot holes (like with every movie that involves time travel), yes, not each performance is Oscar worthy, but if you don't expect "The Godfather" in the Star Wars universe, you might like it.

    I rated it 7 out of 10, because I really like SF flicks, for "normal" people it might be a 6.

    Enjoy

    Low budget but not bad.

    ARQ must have a relatively low budget since almost the entire movie is filmed in the same room but nevertheless it's entertaining. There's constant action and the acting isn't bad and that from the whole cast. It's a bit like Groundhog Day but with a sci-fi touch and although the story is quite complicated, and that even if you pay good attention, it's still interesting to follow. The images are of good quality, they clearly know what they're doing. ARQ is worth a watch if you're into this genre of movies, action/sci-fi that is.

    Low budget time loop movie

    I saw Edge of Tomorrow a few months ago, and ARQ is a movie best scene when it's been so long since you've seen a good time loop movie that your standards aren't too high. Because Edge of Tomorrow is a lot better.

    In this movie, a man keeps going through the same eventful couple of hours as masked thugs invade his home. There's more to it than that, of course, and he finds himself dealing with a variety of circumstances in a variety of ways.

    It's all perfectly adequate as time loop stories go, but it lacks the sort of clever touches one expects from mind-breaking fiction, although I did like a revelation close to the end.

    This is a low budget movie that all takes place on a handful of sets in an ordinary house. The dystopian background is generic and the acting is more functional than anything else.

    It's fine, if you have nothing better to watch.

    Worth a watch.

    Nothing fantastic but as far as low budget movies go this is a solid one. It has a good story combined with decent acting which kept me entertained all the way through.

    Some parts are a little predictable but if you are the type of person who can switch your brain off and not over think every detail then I would recommend this for you.

    A lot of the reviews for this movie are a little unfair and people seem to be expecting far to much from movies these days so don't let the negative reviews make you miss the chance to see this film give it a watch and form your own opinion.

    • Trivia
      While the main male character explains how time is looping he draws several circles on a virtual white board. He mentions that time loops every 3 hours 14 minutes and 15 seconds. The ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter, is commonly approximated as 3.1415, commonly known as Pi.

      Sonny saves Cuz from being electrocuted in the loop no. X, but this should not be possible, since the loop begins from the short circuit Cuz makes by electrocuting himself. Therefore the loop should always start from Cuz being already electrocuted. The characters assumed it was Cuz's death, but another character noted that one quickly kicked Cuz away from the machine, therefore saving his life, but may have had enough contact to re-start the time-loop.
