‘The Darkest Hour’ is a Sci-fi thriller where mysterious objects fall out of the sky
These ‘things’ are mostly invisible and give off electricity as they pass on by
A couple of Americans going to Russia for business is how the story does start
When the attack occurs they go on the run and try to keep from getting apart
It’s not known why these things attacked earth or what they’ve come to do
They kill all the people in a unique way but have managed to miss a few
These few remaining folks band together and try to help each other survive
They discover some weaknesses of the things and use this to remain alive
This has happened all over the world but only the Moscow events are shown
There is hope for them when other survivors from around the world are known
Emile Hirsch, Olivia Thirlby and Max Minghella are the stars that play the lead roles
If you pay too much attention to the details you’re sure to discover some plot holes
Overall it’s not a bad film and the special effects of how the people die are cool
Don’t expect too much and you might enjoy it and hopefully not think I’m a fool
