Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

best movie i've ever seen.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Amazingly I have watch this movie probably half a dozen times. Whenever I see it is showing on a movie channel I am drawn to it like a mosquito to a light , very similarly like the aliens in this film. With many "don't do it!" Moments and "OMG, why?" It is entertaining as a movie should be. Yes, somewhat predictable at times but the cast is enjoyable and the take on the alien invators is quite clever. I will watch a 7th time.

Its obvious with respect to this movie that some of the movie industry corps/competitors have flooded it with bad ratings, to keep it beat down. The producers just didn't have the money moxy to retaliate with their own bought package reviews--Its not actually a ten, but closer to an honest 7--But since its been witch burned I went ahead and pumped up the rating--If you like action sci fi, this is a must see--I need ten lines to get a publish, so will say it was nice to see the movie give a nod to Moscow and toss in some Moscow-Russian pride, its not just USA folks who can kick alien butt.

There are some films (ala Snakes on a Place, Cowboys and Aliens etc) where you really should ask yourself whether you think you will enjoy them. Granted, the Darkest Hour's titles isn't as big a give away to the film's content, but, judging by the amount of negativity surrounding the film, I would strongly advice anyone contemplating watching it to locate its trailer on the internet before viewing.Basically, it's an 'alien invasion' movie (albeit set in Russia, but don't worry, everyone kindly speaks perfect English so there's no need for subtitles). Some nasty ol' monsters descend from the sky and start murdering the population. Our plucky American heroes must therefore run and fight back to survive.Perhaps the closest film already out there like this is Skyline (also critically mauled), however I found its plot similar to 28 Days Later (although with aliens instead of the 'infected').This movie is no masterpiece. There's not an awful lot of scope with the script to allow the actors much in the way of anything other than filling their roles, let alone character development. The special effects are low-budget (by today's standards), but acceptable for what's required.If you enjoy effectively a B-movie with a bit of chase and action thrown in, give it a shot, you might enjoy it (but my initial advice still stands: check out the trailer, if you think it might be for you, then it probably is).

Even though this movie isn't "something special", for me, a big fan of alien invasions and stuff like that, it wasn't bad. Finally something new. A fresh idea that could have been better.Completely cold, dull and with a weak plot, its one of the movies which you'll watch and you won't care which character is going to die.It was still exciting at the times and ending is great, it leaves space for a sequel which they probably won't make.If you are a fan of alien invasions, weak plots and your standards for sci-fi movies are low then you might even enjoy it... Otherwise don't bother with it.
