    Robbie Amell in ARQ (2016)
    In a future where corporations battle against sovereign nations over the last of the world's energy supplies, young engineer Renton and Hannah find themselves attempting to save an experimental energy technology that could end the wars. The catch is, the technology has created a time loop that causes them to relive a deadly home invasion over and over again. They must figure out how to stop the time loop and come out of it alive.

    • Trivia
      While the main male character explains how time is looping he draws several circles on a virtual white board. He mentions that time loops every 3 hours 14 minutes and 15 seconds. The ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter, is commonly approximated as 3.1415, commonly known as Pi.
    • Goofs
      Ren and Hannah discover the ring of petrified grass outside the house and make the statement that the time loop is contained to only inside the perimeter of that ring An aerial shot then shows the ring going around the house, hence the boundary of the time loops. When Sonny calls Torus for extraction, they are outside of the time loop and would be getting hundreds of calls.

    Worth a watch.
    Nothing fantastic but as far as low budget movies go this is a solid one. It has a good story combined with decent acting which kept me entertained all the way through.

    Some parts are a little predictable but if you are the type of person who can switch your brain off and not over think every detail then I would recommend this for you.

    A lot of the reviews for this movie are a little unfair and people seem to be expecting far to much from movies these days so don't let the negative reviews make you miss the chance to see this film give it a watch and form your own opinion.
