Trailer Alert: ARQ

Posted on September 14, 2016 By Sammy Younan

Sammy Younan

Girth Radio Presents…

Currently playing at TIFF ARQ is a sci-fi Netflix original movie that’ll debut on the platform on September 16.

You know pretty much everybody who is in it…The Flash’s Robbie Amell and Jessica Jones’ Rachael Taylor and Orphan Black screenwriter Tony Elliott makes his feature directorial debut. See all your friends…it’s like when one or two bands you like get together and form a side project super group!

In addition to all your friends ARQ has an omnipotent corporation for that dystopian touch, secrets (and I’m gonna assume lies…) and the standard What’s Going On? time loops that plague most time travellers. (In some ways it’s harder to kill Baby Hitler than you think…).

Sammy’s Status: I’ll check it out…not at TIFF but pantslessly at home once it’s on Netflix. I’m hoping for a sci-fi surprise.
