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.

Of all the the time travel movies I've watched this is by far the best and worst at the same time. Best because I like they plot the story of how Renton did something for his long lost love. But its also the worst because of lacking of the back story. All of the reviews I've read is about how the movie lacked of supporting details. Maybe they should minimized the scenes of just looping and looping through time and at least tell a good narration of how things were.

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 a really difficult movie to evaluate, because the first 99% is really well done but it all builds up to the biggest ever let down in the final 1%, and that's the part you can't talk about without spoiling it.The setting was interesting, the plot was engaging, it was fast paced and kept me on edge, the scripting and the acting were both decent to strong. Hard to find much wrong with the majority if the movie other than a couple of very minor plot holes, which does tend to happen with over the top time travel plots.Sadly, just as the tension and expectations are really building up and you're dying for the resolution... it ends rather abruptly and wholly unsatisfyingly. Such a shame!Funnily enough, I also watched Paradox recently, and it's pretty much the exact opposite: shoddy acting and scripting, with a highly satisfying ending. If only the author of that added and ending to this movie, and the actors and scriptwriters of this had been involved in that movie, 2016 would have had two amazing time-travel stories.
