Let's be realistic.

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.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

I really wanted to like this movie more than I did. The idea of the movie is very cool. A time machine that keeps resetting time when you die. Cool idea right? It is, but after the 4th or 5th time it started getting repetitive. I feel the roll for Renton was not cast correctly. Renton has the look of a tough guy but plays an engineer. I really like end of world movies, or close it. This one just didn't do it for me.

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!!

Live, die, repeat. Sound familiar. But instead of aliens, what if it's accidental science, a crime, freedom fighters, a menacing corporation?Includes love triangle, betrayal in multiple forms, and a wonderfully slow reveal of the clues to what's going on.It keeps your attention, wondering how the protagonist will move forward through an endless repeating time loop. With some fairly good writing and great performances, it is an entertaining flick.The not-so-good. Due to the challenge of being consistent when dealing with time travel/loop movies, plot holes open easily and are resolved with sudden shifts in character's behavior/motivations/actions. There is inadequate explanation as to what's going on outside (think 10 Cloverfield Lane) and not all characters are given any depth.Final conclusion: a worthwhile viewing

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.
