It's a small package that delivers a sizeable punch.

Bearing an unnervingly derivative resemblance to Shane Carruth's Primer, which did much more with considerably less, the debut feature by TV writer Tony Elliott comes off like a low-budget, low-stakes riff on Edge of Tomorrow.

Watching a bad movie is never an enjoyable experience. But there's something particularly excruciating about watching a bad movie that keeps repeating the same thing every 10 minutes.

Not a great movie, but it is a worthy approach to the exciting cinematic universe of time traveling. [Full review in Spanish]

A futuristic movie that is entertaining, but not memorable and ends being disappointing. [Full review in Spanish]

A disappointingly half-baked sci-fi endeavor...

The boyfriend is a moron. Even after four resets going back in time, betrayed by his girlfriend each time, he still continued to make the same mistake and trust her, wasting the first half-dozen resets. Totally stupid. The bad guys didn’t need more than one reset to not make the exact same mistakes as before, once they were in the loop. Only the moron boyfriend wasted resets, probably in order to stretch the movie beyond 30 minutes. If writers need to rely on making characters do stupid things as a way to fill time, the result is always a stupid movie.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

If you liked Edge of Tomorrow, or any other "time loop" movies, you'll appreciate this little gem. Arq is an extremely low budget film that knows how to stay in its lane while still packing a punch. Arq manages to to keep the energy and tension high by not wasting the audience's time. Edge of Tomorrow and Groundhog day spend the first half of the movie simply introducing the timeloop, whereas Arq introduces that element within the first 5 minutes. From there, the film could have been your run of the mill "hero gets smarter every loop and conquers" story, but almost every loop introduces an unexpected plot twist that really keeps the viewer guessing. There are no big action set pieces or special effects. Instead, you get convincing performances from the two leads, and a plot that simply cuts to the chase instead of trying to rival Tenet in its complexity. Ultimately, Arq doesn't do anything too groundbreaking, but it does a whole lot with a little. It's a short journey, at less than an hour and a half, but the pace is such that the film keeps you on the edge of your seat the entire time. If you're into time travel, there's really no reason not to give this quick film a try.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
