The Darkest Hour
These are the events that we live in quite differently. This story tells about five young people who find themselves stuck in Moscow. Maybe things are very bad as these young people are fighting to lead the charge against a foreign race that attacked the Earth in a very short time and through our energy source.

Once again it's time for the end of the world. But, "The Darkest Hour" fails to see the light and we're stuck with yet another mediocre sci-fi movie.

Uninspiring and insipid, this contemporary take on the zombie genre sees a group of gorgeous twenty somethings trapped in Moscow trying desperately to get away from an endless attack launched by nasty id-like blobs of energy.

So bad that Russian and American relations may break down and reignite the Cold War.

Just dumb enough to feel like the product of intelligent grown ups who wanted to make something they'd have dug as widdle kids.

If these dimwits represent the hope of humanity, bring on the alien overlords.

Did Olivia Thirlby and Emile Hirsch make this so they could visit Russia on somebody else's dime?

"Darkest Hour'' doesn't have even as much character as those Discover commercials.

It's clear from early on that these characters are as indistinct and lazily rendered as the floating blobs chasing them.

It's true mindless trash, but it's fun mindless trash... I'm not ashamed to say I would watch a sequel.

Not since Mark Wahlberg trembled in fear beside a menacing houseplant in The Happening has a film tried to provoke terror with such an unlikely object of menace.

What's the point of going all the way to Moscow if the shots you come back with end up looking like cheap green-screen process work?

There's literally nothing here that works: the SFX are limp, the acting is dire and director Chris Gorak seems to be fighting a losing battle with the concept of narrative logic.
