Short description

In a dystopian future where energy resources are depleted, an engineer named Renton and his companion Hannah are trapped in a time loop. While besieged in their home by masked intruders, they must protect an experimental energy technology that could end global conflicts. The device creates a temporal anomaly, forcing the protagonists to relive the same violent attack repeatedly as they attempt to find a way to escape.

Written and directed by Tony Elliott, this science fiction thriller features Robbie Amell and Rachael Taylor in the lead roles, with supporting performances by Gray Powell, Jacob Neayem, Shaun Benson, and Adam Butcher. The film was produced by XYZ Films, Lost City, and MXN Entertainment on a budget of 2 million USD.

Audience reception was moderately positive, with a 6.3 rating on IMDb from 44,000 votes and a 6.1 rating on TMDB based on 1,351 votes. In contrast, the film received a lower score from critics, who gave it a 4.9 rating based on 7 reviews.

What's left behind the scenes

  • Sonny's nickname is Ouroboros, that is, a serpent coiled in a circle and biting its own tail. This symbol has many meanings, but the most common interpretation describes it as a representation of eternity and infinity, particularly the cyclical nature of life.
  • Automatic Repeat Request (ARQ) is an error detection method used in data transmission, employing an acknowledgement signal (the receiver sends service data indicating correct reception of a data segment or packet) and a timeout (a specified period within which acknowledgement should be received) to ensure reliable transmission over unreliable services. If the data sender does not receive acknowledgement before the timeout expires, it typically retransmits the frame or packet until acknowledgement is received, or a pre-defined number of retransmissions is exceeded.
