ARQ is a made-for-Netflix movie. I added it to my queue, but I haven’t decided to watch it yet. Wondered if anyone has seen it yet and what they thought. There are no big names I noticed with it. Any thoughts? ---

Hmmm. Two days with no replies on a board that skews toward sci-fi fans. Looks like Netflix has quite a hit on their hands. :smack: ---

I have added it to my queue as well, but have yet to commit to watching it. My queue is full of crap that I have never been able to pull the trigger on watching. ---

I saw it two weeks ago accidentally. I really liked it, it kept me watching and I have a short attention span and will turn off anything approaching mediocre. I would call it sci-fi Memento, if that suits you, I’d recommend it. ---

Didn’t much care for it. But then again, I don’t like 'Ground Hog’s Day" type set ups. I do like time travel movies though. Project Almanac is a pretty decent flick for a budget film. ---

I watched it, it was enjoyable. ---

I saw it and had an enjoyable time with it. As others have said, it’s basically a science fiction version of Groundhog Day. It’s not the best thing you’ll see this month, but you could do a lot worse. It’s better than anything the SyFy channel is showing. If your queue is full of stuff you’re dying to see, then let it wait for a bit. ---

I watched it, as Sitnam said if you don’t like the first 15 minutes you probably won’t like the rest. Plot does get a bit deeper though. All in all I thought it was a neat movie although I’m not 100% sure I understood the ending. ---

I saw i Friday. I enjoyed it, but it’s right up my alley genre wise. There is a very similar movie, I feel was better done. I have to check my history to find it, but i will provide a name and link later.
