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.
I really like it. turned out to be a really good movie.
Sometime in the future a guy built a machine that malfunctions and puts him in a time loop he can't escape from.
It's kind of like a less funny Groundhogs day, but very intense.
I really like the energy that the movie is giving off. Everything happens at a quick pace as Renton figures out more and more about his problem and attempts to deal with it, and every time he goes through the loop he learns more about his situation, and it's always this awesome twist to his story every time he began a new loop.
I won't lie, Robbie Amell seem too attractive to be a scientist capable of creating a machine that can create clean unlimited energy, but that was a stereotype I quickly got over, not that he was good at sounding smart, more like the movie was moving too fast to care that much. He did do a good job of having that personality of a too smart for you jerk.
It's an excellent hard science thriller.

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.

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.

This is a sci-fi time travel yarn. Now I am a little wary of these, it's not normally long before characters are bumping into themselves in the lift, or someone sleeps with their gran and now dinosaurs are alive and driving cars.
This is an enclosed scenario caught in a loop. Each iteration opens up a different plot line.
The writing is very smooth and the performances are excellent, as is production.
Now this film has some twists and turns but it is unlikely to blow your mind.
It has a prompt running time, not feeling the need to Labour any of the plot lines.
A slick, well thought out movie that gripped me from the start.

- TriviaWhile 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.
- GoofsSonny 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.
