not a bad premise a little polishing and it could have been great.

Watched on Prime Video. Surprisingly good film! A bit different to other alien 👽 films out there. Special effects not bad, plays on building up tension! Would quite happily watch again so it's staying in my watch list. Recommended viewing 👍

As the headline implies, this is an interesting and semi-unique theme for a sci-fi movie. What lets it down is a weak script, wooden acting, especially the Russians, and an implausible defence against the aliens. I moderately enjoyed the first 40 minutes but grew steadily more bored as the film ground to its eventual conclusion. Even the conclusion was weak, after all - who would be daft enough to get on a Russian Nuclear Submarine? I would have preferred to take my chances with the aliens or even Putin, or as I call him RasPutin.

This is a really enjoyable film - more credible than most in its genre - and the use of Moscow, which is, as always, impressive rather than beautiful, is superb. Please don't get hung up on reviews referencing Faraday cages etc., I am genuinely not sure that they watched the film, but I will not say more as to why those are nonsensical reviews for fear of spoiling the film for those who do try it regardless.

This movie is different to most that I have seen, worth looking at and considering buying, The show is hard to describe without giving up to much, I enjoyed it and a show I will watch again.Alien invasion in Moscow with russians and americans joining sides fighting for survival against an intruder, different in its own way I've given it an A for entertainment.

Aliens try to exterminate humanity movie, but the aliens are electrical in nature which is a good innovation. For once a movie that fits the 12 rating - lots of tension and a few surprise turns, but nothing gory/sexy (little bit of night club dancing but not OTT). People are 'puffed' out of existence in a War or the Worlds kind of way.

5.0 out of 5 stars L'ora nera Blu-Ray
Reviewed in Italy on 10 September 2018
Film di fantascienza buono con attori non proprio in vena e sceneggiatura con qualche lacuna , la storia e lo scenario però sono interessanti. Visto in 2D con qualità video elevata e audio in DTS 5.1 ottimo ma non ai livelli di produzioni più recenti.
Il film dura circa 80 minuti sigle escluse e non annoia , ha chi piace la fantascienza ,quella senza grosse pretese si divertirà per chi ha esigenze più alte lo sconsiglio. Comunque a mio parere è da vedere. Non sono due dischi ma sono la versione 3D+2D su un unico disco Blu-Ray.

5.0 out of 5 stars Darkest Hour
Reviewed in Germany on 27 April 2012
Der Film hat ein klasse CAST. Script, Drehbuch, Regie, Score, Darsteller und Technik - alles im grünen Bereich. Wer gutes Popcorn Kino mag, wird bestens unterhalten.

Von der Professionalität ist der Film "Gott sei Dank" typisch Hollywood. Dies, für alle jenige, die sich davon abschrecken lassen, daß es sich um eine Amerikanisch-Russische Coproduktion handelt - und russische Produktionen nicht mögen. Dazu dürfte ich mich auch zählen. Federführend waren die Amis - dies schmälert für diesen Film aber keinesfalls den russischen Anteil - ganz im Gegenteil - Darsteller, Techniker - hier wurden scheinbar nur Top Leute genommen - und dies tut dem Film ersichtlich gut.

Positiv zu vermerken ist auch der Handlungsort. Moskau und nicht New York als Katastophen Location zu wählen, ist überaus erfrischend. Auch das Script/Drehbuch , welches gekonnt, mit wenigen Szenen eine emotionale Bindung zu den Hauptfiguren aufbaut - und diese dann bereitwillig zu opfern - passt absolut - und steht "Gott sei Dank" zum krassen Widerspruch zum Heer der Filme mit typisch öde kitschige Happy Ending Storys - wo die Propagandisten x-mal sterben, um in der nächsten Szene es doch irgendwie geschafft zu haben.

"J. Kammerath" einer meiner Vor-Rezensenten hat dies sehr trefflich beschrieben.

Einzig ein paar Ungereimtheiten trüben den Filmgenuss minimal. Der Film hat nicht die Klasse von "Krieg der Welten" mit Tom Cruise - anderseits ist er oft orgineller und besser als die vielen anderen Nachfolger dieses Genres - und deshalb eine klare Kuck/Kauf-Empfehlung von mir. .-)

Auch wenn viele US - Patrioten im IMDB z.B. "World Invasion: Battle Los Angeles" den Film auf einen höheren Rang gehoben haben - und man diesen Film absolut nicht mochte - sollte man nicht im Umkehrschluss denken, das "Darkest Hour" nun noch schlechter ist, sondern eher die Votings im Internet hinterfragen. Gut, auch genannter Film hatte keine Spitzenwertung mit 5.8, aber für mein Emfinden ist die Note um 5.79 Punkte zu hoch ausgefallen. Die 4.9 bei Darkest Hour zeigt, das Amys Katatrophen lieber im eigenen Land sehen wollen - oder/und nur Happy Ending Storys mögen - soviel zum Voting.
