The Darkest Hour Reviews
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
Really, how slovenly is it to use invisible aliens? If you're going to tease us with nothing but pinwheels of light for three-quarters of the film, you'd better have one heck of a reveal up your sleeve.
Los Angeles Times
Mark Olsen
What's the point of going all the way to Moscow if the shots you come back with end up looking like cheap green-screen process work?
AV Club
Nathan Rabin
Not since Mark Wahlberg trembled in fear beside a menacing houseplant in The Happening has a film tried to provoke terror with such an unlikely object of menace.
Boston Globe
Joel Brown
"Darkest Hour'' doesn't have even as much character as those Discover commercials.
Entertainment Weekly
Keith Staskiewicz
It's clear from early on that these characters are as indistinct and lazily rendered as the floating blobs chasing them.
Shockya.com
Perri Nemiroff
Not a good alien invasion movie, but an alien invasion movie; regardless of subpar filmmaking, there's something inherent that leaves you with the need to at least see the story through.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
It opts for less of the same old thing, but with more cruddy CGI and even more predictable results.
Boxoffice Magazine
David Ehrlich
The Darkest Hour isn't just a dark horse contender for the year's biggest joke, it's the darkest.
Slant Magazine
Budd Wilkins
In a year-end season stacked deep with worthwhile films, what possible incentive could there be for submitting to The Darkest Hour's utter pointlessness?
TheWrap
Alonso Duralde
If these dimwits represent the hope of humanity, bring on the alien overlords.
Hollywood Reporter
John DeFore
An alien invasion flick that evidently expects dramatic shots of a depopulated Red Square to make up for a flatlining screenplay and the absence of even a single compelling character.
Three Movie Buffs
Scott Nash
A movie so bad that it's actually enjoyable.
Mania.com
Rob Vaux
Its handful of inspired moments arrive amid oceans of wasted opportunities: never awful, but utterly forgettable in their familiarity.
JoBlo's Movie Network
Chris Bumbray
This seems like a very haphazardly pieced-together flick.
FEARnet
Scott Weinberg
Nowhere near good, not remotely interesting enough to be worthy of mockery, and a miserable time-waste for all involved.
The Playlist
Todd Gilchrist
A generic let-down that isn't bad enough even to be memorable.
Filmcritic.com
Bill Gibron
When Independence Day becomes a benchmark for what you are trying to achieve, perhaps your take is unnecessary
Giant Freakin Robot
Joshua Tyler
Writer Jon Spaihts' script goes about this in the right way, by telling a story involving a vicious alien attack that's completely unique in its execution.
Movies.com
Dave White
Yes, there's a getaway submarine in this movie. What if it were driven by a cat? Why shouldn't it be driven by a cat? No reason, right? That's right. It could totally happen, just as easily as anything else.
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
A small-scaled, thoroughly predictable 'War of the Worlds' clone devoid of interest except for its Moscow setting, a few neat visual touches and brevity...this year's lump of cinematic Christmas coal.
