The emptiest hour


The Darkest Hour (2011)

Directed by Chris Gorak this film stars Emile Hirsch, Olivia Thirlby, Max Minghella and Rachael Taylor. Three Americans and an Australian on holiday in Moscow get caught up in an alien invasion of earth.

It is hard to find much to say about this film because both the plot and characters are so empty. Amongst our protagonists there is not really a shred of personality which leaves this film feeling really flat and does little to help the decidedly pedestrian plot. There are a few ideas that show some promise and the special effects are not bad but otherwise this is a pretty average film.

3/5
