To me, this movie is perfection.
That was an excellent one.
This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
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.
Thoroughly enjoyed watching this movie, loved the ending. Got me thinking and that's important to me. Clever 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.
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.
