The re-tellings have enough variety with each go-through adding more to the plot twist to keep the viewer engaged. I won't say what that is as it would ruin the film. But unlike Bill Murray, it's not about getting the girl or getting the hell out of the ensuing boredom, but doing what is necessary to avoid major catastrophe. The movie focuses on a couple that experiences their own Groundhog Day over and over again. I'd say it was the adequate lighting that kept one in the film and not distracted (see Synchronicity for details). However, ARQ was very well acted and the low budget didn't distract. Often when I watch such sci-fi films i'm disappointed, as poor acting, plot, or cheep sets get in the way. A big thumb up to Netflix.ĪRQ is a low budget film made in Canada without any big name stars. I liked 'Edge of tomorrow' with Tom Cruise for the same reason - because finally the scriptwriter got time travel right, or at least they make it look like that's the way it would work. I like clever movies, and this was certainly clever. It's not a great movie, I'm not saying it is, but it is a solid 8 out of 10 as someone already noticed. I hope more people come to review ARQ and that they recognize what a little gem this movie is. Each loop is a surprise, I can't even say how refreshing it is to have watched something like that.

It was such a pleasure to watch, particularly because it's full of twists and turns and I challenge you to guess how it ends. ARQ does, and it keeps you guessing, it's unpredictable. Remember the movie 'Looper'? In the end, if you analyzed it, it didn't make sense. Trapped in a lab and stuck in a time loop, a disoriented couple fends off masked raiders while harboring a new energy source that could save humanity. And I love that someone finally came up with a story like that, in which you can see what might happen if you were stuck in a loop. 2016 Maturity Rating: A 1h 28m Thrillers. The story is really gripping, and I liked the actors a lot, they really make it look realistic and believable. That's the main thing I liked about it, that they keep me waiting to see how the next loop is going to change. That's why I usually hate this type of movie: because they don't get the science right, they don't have a suspenseful story and they do a lot of illogical stuff just so they could wrap things up nicely. Of course, it is a 'Groundhog day' type of movie that has been done before, but I've never seen it done so well. I've never done it before, but this time I had to. To the point, though: I've just finished watching ARQ, literally one minute ago, and I didn't even wait for the credits to run, I was already on IMDb signing in to write a review. Then Netflix happens and suddenly you can watch movies like ARQ. It seems that nobody wants to make good movies anymore, CGI is king, and viewers are expected to like whatever is released by the greedy studios. Everything I've watched from them turns out to be very good, which is amazing because I was beginning to believe that the era of movies is over.
