Renton identifies Cuz to be an agent of Torus. Renton wakes up with the memory of him dying down the stairs. But we are not shown what happens after Renton dies down the stairs. It’s not like the film The Edge of Tomorrow. Now remember, the timeloop does not reset soon as Renton dies. As he gains consciousness he tries to escape, falls down a flight of stairs and breaks his neck. The Bloc come busting in, knock him unconscious. He doesn’t remember anything as such but sees the time, it’s 6:16. The movie begins with Renton waking up with a startle. The theory is that the farthest person from the ARQ is least affected and as a result gains memory from the previous loop the fastest. The thing that is told at nearly the end of the film is that these loops have been going on for thousands of times. There is no reason explained for the length of the loop but the perimeter of a circle of diameter 1 unit is pi (p), which is 3.1415… so, perhaps something there. The duration of the timeloop is 3 hrs, 14 min and 15 sec. Cuz touches it at 06:11:06, which is the time of start of the time loop. The ARQ, as a result of the shorting, bends time onto itself creating the timeloop. Cuz touches the ARQ, it shorts, Cuz is killed. He doesn’t realize it is protected by an electric field of 20,000 Volts. How does the timeloop begin and how many loops have been there?įather, Brother, Sonny and Cuz break in. Unknown to the Bloc, Sonny and Cuz are there to give out the location of the ARQ to Torus. The Bloc plans on holding Hannah at gunpoint and getting the scrips from Renton. The Bloc (Father, Brother, Sonny and Cuz) break into the hideout. Hannah stays with Renton at his hideout and informs the Bloc of the whereabouts. These “scrips” are means of getting funds and the Bloc wants it. She plots with the Bloc to act like she’s gotten back with Renton so that they can steal the “scrips” that he has. Hannah hates Renton for leaving her behind. She doesn’t disclose to him that she’s with the Bloc. Years after Hannah is freed from Torus, Renton finds her. Sonny and Cuz have been instructed by Torus to procure the location of the ARQ and call for backup. Sonny and Cuz are actually undercover mercenaries of Torus who have infiltrated the Bloc. While he is the leader of the Bloc, he has no relevance in the film. These are not the only members of the Bloc but they are the only ones who matter in this film. The other members of the Bloc are Pope, Father, Brother, Sonny and Cuz. Hannah spends time with the Bloc for years and takes on the code name Mother. Hannah however is caught and tortured for a long period of time. Renton steals the ARQ and some scrips from Torus and brings it to his hideout. Perhaps they knew it would work, although their intention was not to use it to provide the world with energy but to use it as a war machine. Torus shuts down the project because they believe it would never work. In effect, the machine would be the solution to their energy crisis. A perpetual motion machine is one that that can keep running without any external supply of energy. Renton was building a perpetual motion machine called the ARQ (Arcing Recursive Quine). Years ago Renton (Robbie) and Hannah (Rachael) were lovers and used to work for Torus. The Bloc is a rebel group that wants to bring down Torus. Torus Corporation is an evil empire that has dominated over the rest. The story is set in a dystopian future where the world is polluted and the air is no longer suitable to breathe. For the sake of easy understanding, I’m going to give away most of the key elements right in the beginning. There is a lot of the plot that is revealed to the viewers over the course of the movie.
