Let's be realistic.

Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

"ARQ" seems to have been inspired by several big budget Hollywood time loop movies in recent years, such as "Edge of Tomorrow", "Retroactive" and even "Groundhog Day". However, given that this particular go-around was made by Canadians, the budget is much, much lower, and 99% of the movie takes place in a few particular rooms of a house. Despite the extreme budget limitations, the movie still manages to work, thanks to an intelligent and clever script. I admit that the first part of the movie is quite confusing (and it almost got me to turn off the movie), but eventually any questions that we have do get answered... for the most part. Like most time loop movies, there are some details that are vague or head-scratching. But all the same, you get the general idea of what's going on, and who wants what. And the movie is directed in a compelling manner that keeps you interested even when certain details repeat themselves. The movie manages to breath new life into the time loop genre, and is one of the best Netflix exclusive movies made to date.

I'm all into movies where some part of reality gets altered or tweaked and while it's been some time since I've seen ARQ I had to come back and review it because this is one of few in that line that doesn't just mess with the head, but also has the tension and, well, story arc like that of any good movie. It's well worth the watch.

Thoroughly enjoyed watching this movie, loved the ending. Got me thinking and that's important to me. Clever movie ;)

Time loop movie. Does it make sense overall or rather are there holes? There probably are some, but upon first viewing I couldn't find big ones that would take the fun out of watching the movie. So if you are into Science Fiction and movies with a tight idea, than this is one to watch and enjoy.Twists and turns are coming accordingly of course and some are very neat and sweet indeed. The acting is OK for a genre movie and the characters are "acting" appropriately. There is action, there is tension and everything is playing at one location. So while it may seem easy (logistically speaking, also wardrobe), it isn't easy to keep the tension high for the viewer and making it fresh every time around. The movie achieves that on a tight budget
