![]() This movie is not without flaws however, and one of the larger ones pertains to the time loop. It’s also nice to be able to catch on to smaller details, which helps with world building, by revisiting the same instance over and over. It really added this depth to the character that I thought was well written, as well as acted. As time passed we could see that the main character not only expected things to happen, but also was upset about things that did happen to him in past loops. ![]() This adds an interesting character trait that was acted beautifully throughout the film. ![]() ARQ manages to find a way to take this tried-and-true plot device and inject it with enough twists to keep you guessing throughout.The setting is small (confined to one house), so not only is the main character getting used to a routine in these time loops, but so are we. But that doesn’t mean that it can’t be entertaining. We’ve seen it before countless times, in countless different settings. Like I mentioned, this plot is not one that is unique. It’s up to Renton to figure out what is causing his day to repeat, and what exactly caused these men to break into his home. That’s right, much like Groundhog Day or Edge of Tomorrow (or whatever the hell they’re calling that movie now) ARQ deals with a repeating timeline. The movie then follows Renton and Hannah who wake up to a home invasion, but this time it’s Deja-vu for Renton. They get taken to the garage but something goes wrong and Renton dies. ARQ is a film that follows Renton and Hannah, who wake up to a home invasion. Netflix has been hitting it out of the park lately, and the new film ARQ is no exception. “It’s plot is a familiar one, but it stands out with its writing, effects, and acting.” ![]()
