My review
This film was, in my opinion, extremely well filmed. The tension was
 extremely high throughout, and this was acheived through long moving shots. There was very little cutting between camera angles, and the camera instead panned over the scenes. The tension was also heightened by the restricted location. Except for the about a minute near the end, this entire fast-paced action film took place within a single house, which added a certain tension due to the closeness of the enemy.

The plot left a lot to be desired. It had so many plot holes that it hardly made sense. As with any time travel fiction it needed a hard and fast set of rules that it sticks to, and Arq didn't. They tried to complicate it too much, by having a closed time-loop, and it fell a bit flat.

Overall though this was a very well filmed action film, and the tension worked well, but the plot means that I agree with the 3/5 rating it received on Netflix.
