The American software designers Sean and Ben travel to Moscow to sell their software to investors. However, their Swedish partner Skyler pulls a fast one on Sean and Ben, and they are out of the business. They go to a nightclub, where they meet American Natalie and Australian Anne and they flirt with the girls and see Skyler in the club. Out of the blue, the population is surprised by lights, which they mistake for natural phenomena. But soon, they learn that the lights are aliens invading Earth and using power supply to annihilate mankind. Sean, Ben, Natalie, Anne and Skyler hide in the kitchen and when they leave the place, they seek out survivors on the street. Are they the last people on Earth?
Leave your thoughts about The Darkest Hour.
| AV ClubNathan RabinNot 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. |
| BrianOrndorf.comBrian OrndorfTo get to the creature feature basics, one must endure a full court press of ghastly moviemaking decisions, creating a dispiriting amateur ambiance with a premise that seems capable of coughing up a few easy thrills. |
| Film BlatherEugene NovikovThe flailing, jittery film suggests extensive corporate meddling, and an overall lack of confidence in the enterprise. |
| The PlaylistTodd GilchristA generic let-down that isn't bad enough even to be memorable. |
| Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeAn alien invasion flick that evidently expects dramatic shots of a depopulated Red Square to make up for a flatlining screenplay and the absence of even a single compelling character. |
| Mania.comRob VauxIts handful of inspired moments arrive amid oceans of wasted opportunities: never awful, but utterly forgettable in their familiarity. |
| New York PostSara StewartIt’s an exhilarating contrast to the weak-sauce caped crusaders who arrived at the box office last week. For a more convincing (if selectively edited) portrait in heroism, look no further than Darkest Hour. |
| Filmcritic.comBill GibronWhen Independence Day becomes a benchmark for what you are trying to achieve, perhaps your take is unnecessary |
| CNNRadioPaul ChambersOnce 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. |
| Christian Science MonitorPeter RainerThis is pretty standard-issue Great Man of History psychobabble, and it’s insufficient, though somewhat satisfyingly so. The clichés go down easy. |
