(Movie Review) The Darkest Hour (2011)

Since I grade on a curve, this movie is doomed. Why? Because Emile Hirsch was in an amazing movie in 2007 called Into The Wild and has been making trash since then. Maybe his Independent movies that I have yet to see redeem him, but his wide release movies has been horrible. Need proof? Go rent Speed Racer. You will be the only person that has EVER waited in line at redbox to rent that POS.

Storyline: In Moscow, five young people lead the charge against an alien race who have attacked Earth via our power supply. - IMDB.COM

So the whole movie you end up with sub par acting and a poorly executed (yet interesting) apocalyptic movie. So you are probably saying "well, it might be worth it just to see some really cool aliens"....and you would be WRONG. The aliens are invisible. You don't really see anything scary or cool, just a few red lines that snap out at people and that is about it. This movie looks like it was made for about fifty cents. Now, I have to admit that it is not all bad...nothing ever is, but I wouldn't break my neck to watch this one.
