Reviews

Arkane has received mixed reviews from critics and audiences alike. On IMDb, the film holds a moderate rating, reflecting a division in audience reception. Some reviewers praised the film's ambitious premise and the performances, particularly highlighting Ryan Lucy's compelling portrayal of the lead scientist. For instance, one critic noted, 'Arkane presents a fascinating concept with intense moments that keep you hooked.' However, other critics pointed out pacing issues and an occasionally convoluted plot that could confuse viewers. The critique on Rotten Tomatoes echoes this sentiment, where the film does not have a consensus score due to limited reviews but is generally regarded as a niche sci-fi thriller that appeals more to genre fans than mainstream audiences. Metacritic scores similarly reflect a mixed reception, averaging out to a middling rating with appreciation for its ideas but criticism for execution. Overall, Arkane stands out for its intriguing thematic content but falls short in delivering a consistently engaging narrative for all viewers.
