ARQ Inventor too Stupid to be ARQ Inventor *SPOILERS, but Who Cares?*


This movie COULD have been good, but casting Robbie Amell (Brother of Arrow Stephen - they are both equally wooden actors, although Robbie is probably the better of the two) was the wrong choice for this role, because he's not believable (although he tried - problem was the script). A scientist of that caliber cannot be so stupid to get played so many times, unless he is a poon addict (or naive enough to be "in love"). And let's face it, that Rachel Taylor as Hannah ("The Bitch!) showed her true colors, so why does he keep trusting her? I figured they both deserved to die. Just like Tom Cruise & Emily Blunt...

The script was as bad as Edge of Tomorrow, and man, aside from Back to the Future, there really hasn't been a good time travel movie. But there should have been. They need to stop trying to make one, until they get a good script (aside from B2TF - a GREAT time travel trilogy, or "T cubed"!)

I want a time machine to get my 1hr 28min back from this stinker! It started out good, but kept getting worse with each replay, kind of like multiple takes in the recording studio, or marriages. I say, let Taurus get the Arq, so this Pisces of Feces can be time unlooped...permanently!

Obviously, you're too clever to learn English.

Technical intelligence and emotional / interpersonal intelligence have almost nothing in common. (Restraining urge to say, as you've just demonstrated.)

I would agree that the script requires Renton to be blinded by his love for Hannah as a pure plot convenience, when a better script would have made that truly interesting at the character level. But that's a different sort of criticism.

Prepare your minds for a new scale of physical, scientific values, gentlemen.

The ONLY true Renton is Ewan McGregor in Trainspotting.

What sort of criticism are you referring to? That which your ego deems worthwhile? And if so, then stop commenting of douchy tripe like this!

A time machine would be nice. Go back in time and tell your whore mother to swallow you.

I wish I had a time machine to unwaste the time it took to read your SH!T post.

Robbie is actually Stephen's younger cousin..

Damn I knew that bland acting and pretty boy face reminded me of something. Hopefully there's no third "actor" in the family

Well, even B2TF is not that good. It's entertaining but it keeps tripping itself up.

Try Lunopolis. Definitely not a high profile movie but a great time travel one that pretty much keeps to its own time travel theory.
