It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

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.

Went in expecting a very mediocre movie, it was actually great. All I'm gunna say is that the ending is freaking awesome!
Great movie!!

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.

There seems to be new "Groundhog day" genre born for some time now. And the ARQ (strange title anyway, somewhat predestined to be forgotten) is another "iterative" story on the screen. But the realization is very good. Considering only half-dozen of characters, the story stays interesting until the end. This movie has some strange magic, which keeps you interested. Frankly, I was much more amused than last whole year in the movie theater. I recommend this movie, it is much better than it seems at first. And yes, if it would be more wildly edited (and one or two plot holes removed or explained), it would be a cult movie for sure.
