It may borrow liberally from the playbook already laid out by the likes of Source Code and Edge of Tomorrow, but ARQ is nevertheless a mostly compelling low-budget sci-fi that manages to paper over its logical leaps and inconsistent performances.

It relies on a lot of convenience and contrivance, and Robbie Amell and Rachael Taylor aren't exactly the best of actors, but it's rather well-made considering its budget, and presents enough noodle-baking food-for-thought even if it's effortlessly outclassed by the aforementioned films.

There's too much repetition and it takes too long to truly go anywhere to be anything approaching greatness, but it's got a number of diverting ideas all the same.
