In general, Elliot has worked on the writing side of many TV shows, but I’m happy to say ARQ in no way feels like a TV show or TV movie. Orphan Black is the Canadian TV show that finally earned Tatiana Maslany a much deserved Emmy for Best Actress this year. Tony Elliott was the executive story editor on 10 episodes of Orphan Black and story editor on an additional 10 episodes. He also wrote the script, which is an area he is much more experienced in. Including letting us really understand her awful back story, which in turn helps us understand her.ĪRQ was directed by Tony Elliott, who only has a short film on his resumé prior to this movie. Rachael Taylor might be the one who has the most to work with, and she does a stellar job with her character, Hannah. This also means we get to see the actors portray characters that develop over time, even if the situation is the same over and over again. Throughout the movie, things evolve and new plot twists manage to change Renton’s perspective on things. I am, however, very happy that Robbie Amell and Rachael Taylor work so well to keep it fresh. The setting of the story means that we only see very few people and hear the same lines many times – again, that’s the premise of a time loop story, so I have no problem with it. Small but very good cast makes the story in ARQ work This does get a bit annoying, but it helps you understand what Renton is going through. Obviously, this means there’s a constant battle against both time and other people, because Renton never really knows how aware the others are.īecause everything takes place within a very short amount of time, there’s a lot of repetition. Other characters, however, can also know more than he does – or less. This offers up a whole lot more room to evolve and change the story, since we get smarter while he does. This also means, that we don’t always know what’s happening since we’re following the character, Renton. In many ways, ARQ is much tighter because it all takes place in a pre-defined space of time, so whatever happens, time will reset itself over and over again at exactly the same second. Especially, if you love the whole time loop stick that Edge of Tomorrow introduced us to in the recent years. Really, Netflix does seem to be on a crazy roll, and while ARQ isn’t as awesome as Stranger Things, it really is a very exciting watch.
