everything you have heard about this movie is true.
This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.
Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
it's basically the same plot device as "Edge of Tomorrow" starring tom cruise and Emily blunt, but with a substantially lower budget and, quite frankly, boring.this film spends too much time with the repetitions, introducing certain elements and subelements with varying degrees of interest. They did a decent job of setting up a greater world story without using expo-dumping.By the time it starts to get interesting the film's almost over. There's suggestions of a seemingly infinite period of time spent in the loops, and the added element suggesting the time looping isn't happening universally, but only within the building the film is taking place in. Yet despite that, the people in the loop are able to communicate via radio with outside operators that is not addressed or suggestive of some further time looping at all, so it sticks out as a major plot hole.Aside from that, the majority of the film is just flat out boring
There are several floors in this movie but overall a great idea on a cheap budget. Please stop reading now if you are yet to watch it as said issues contain some spoilers!!! Now the reason why we appear to start at the first loop (nobody knows it's even happened bar our lead male) yet by the end they had recorded a video Pre-dating said loop and discover they are on their 1000+ loop not 9th or 10th as we see in the movie might just be missing an obvious point. I accept I'm no genius so maybe I missed something. My major problems occur once Sonny our 'baddie' starts to remember the loops. Ignoring the reasoning (never given) as to why various characters remember they are in a loop at various stages, my problem is with speed!!! OK so the first problem loop. In the time it takes our heroes to wake up and navigate the house, our bad guy has led two ppl to a room. Shot them, taken a body from a suit, hidden it in a cupboard and gone back and disguised himself in the same suit. In less than a minute?? The baddie then in the final loop somehow finds a way of reversing time in the loop and saving the guy who dies causing the loop in the first place!! Confused but a good idea, just needed a few more bucks and thought throwing at it!!!
This is an excellent movie. I'm a huge fan of time travel/time loop movies, and this one does not disappoint. In fact, it is one of my favorites. It is wonderfully acted, and keeps you guessing, and hooked till the end. Do not judge this book by its cover. I promise it will surprise you if you let it. My only regret is not having come across this sooner, and for the life of me I cannot understand why this movie didn't have more press announcement, or anything of that caliber. I had never even heard of it until I came across it on the IMDb suggestions. Seriously, if you are a fan of time travel/loop movies, or even just sci-fi in general, definitely give ARQ a go. You're welcome, in advance.
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.
