The Darkest Hour (2011)


Strange invisible Aliens invade Earth. The idea for this is pretty cool, unfortunately it doesn't translate to the screen quite as well. This is what Red Dawn could have looked like if it was Aliens instead of Soviets. Basically a few Americans are in Moscow when the invasion happens and they are trying to find a way out of Russia and back to any western democracy. So they run around, fight some aliens, meet up with others fighting the aliens, figure out that the Aliens aren't as tough as everyone thought they were (even though apparently they were able to disable all organized military forces). Towards the end things become increasingly more cliched. Not a terrible watch but some FX aside this could be a made for Sci-Fi movie. Still, if you are a sucker for ET (like I am) you may want to brave this one anyway. If nothing else it gives you an excuse to eat a bowl of popcorn in front of the TV.
