think at some point they would have put on a ski-suit and wrapped themselves in tinfoil for obvious reasons. I also would have tried firing a water pistol at them at some point. I wondered what would have happened if it had rained or snowed as well.But leaving those aside, this is a great end of the world, alien invasion film. Turn your brain off, sit back with the popcorn and enjoy the flick.

known actors. They are flawless in their roles. If you like special effects and a pretty straight forward "end-of-the-world" movies, this is quite enjoyable. The fact that it has a Russian backdrop is a bonus.

know how to fight/kill the aliens.I guess there is still hope for a sequel. My rating: 10/10

be a keeper on my Movie Box.

to do the heavy lifting. I actually thought this movie was much more realistic than most of the Hollywood movies with little green or gray guys or things with big tales and teeth. The biggest threat to man kind, full stop, is a being that is more intelligent than us, and judging by the average person, I fear that will not be difficult to achieve.

skyline which it has been compared to. I especially liked the unique slant of being in Moscow. It was way better than the reviews it has been given which I suspect were given it by people not understanding that the point of an action thriller is to keep you involved in a story, not to spend 100 million on monsters.

range from brilliant to not so brilliant but then again this is a 30 Million Budget movie, they city of Moscow went through hoops to make it happen by closing down main roads and entire quarters. The scenes when humans are getting killed are extremely well done an innovative and the whole plot is very exciting and doesn't give much time to breath.If you aren't ignorant to let another country but the USA be the good guys for once you will simply love that movie, if your heroes must kiss the love interest in front of an American flag then forget about it.Great movie, not so great actors but all in all enjoyable and 8 points for a new idea of an Alien Invasion.

cool.It seems the film critics have again missed the point and glories of this movie. What they seemed to punish for I personally found to be the movies greatest achievements. Efficient, well conceived plot to me, seen as lacking to the critics. The not trying to save the whole world, ala Independence Day, but focusing on rag tag group of unprepared survivors worked, as it does in AMC's series The Walking Dead. The restrained use of 3D, meaning few objects flying out the screen or visual overdose leading to headache like the latest Transformers movie. The 3D effects added significantly to the sites of Moscow, giving a true sense of the size of Red Square and hence the immersion a 3D movie should give.The Darkest Hour. Solid entertainment and great way to see Moscow without a 12hr flight. Ignore the critics and make up your own mind.

well done, and the effects apart from the opening airplane shot were pretty good too. There was just enough suspense and action to keep things interesting, and while I didn't feel a deep bond with the characters, I still rooted for them to survive.All in all, this was a pretty fun movie, and throughout it I keep wondering to myself why there were so many bad reviews because I was definitely liking it.Don't listen to the "critics" who are too full of themselves and don't get this kind of movie; judge for yourself. If after seeing the trailer you think you'll enjoy the movie, you probably will if you go into it unbiased . I definitely did.
