A sci-fi take on end of the world movies such as I Am Legend which replaces zombies with invisible alien invaders, The Darkest Hour sees software designers Sean (Hirsch) and Ben (Minghella) journey to Moscow where they hope to sell a new social networking concept to the Russian market.

A co-production between the Us and Russia, The Darkest Hour is yet another production from the prolific Timur Bekmambetov that, at least on paper, sounds like an awesome idea – strange electrical aliens,...

Although the aliens are invisible and the human survivors run around with a weapon that looks like it is leftover from Ghostbusters, The Darkest Hour keeps the audience entertained. The movie manages to craft some tension, but is easily forgettable once the final credits roll. Produced by Timur Bekmambetov (Wanted and Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter) and directed by Chris Gorak, the film features a screenplay by Jon Spaihts (who also wrote the story with Leslie Bohem and M.T. Ahern). It stars Emile Hirsch (Speed Racer), Olivia Thirlby, Max Minghella (The Social Network), Rachael Taylor (Transformers), Joel Kinnaman (The Killing), and Veronika Ozerova. The film opens with Americans Ben (Minghella) and Sean (Hirsch) arriving in Moscow with dreams of...

Title: The Darkest Hour Directed By: Chris Gorak Starring: Emile Hirsch, Max Minghella, Olivia Thirlby, Rachael Taylor, Joel Kinnaman, Veronika Ozerova Tell us an alien invasion movie is on the way and, regardless of who’s in it or what it’s about, it sparks intrigue.
