The Darkest Hour

Yet another special-effects-laden who-dies-next deathfest. The traditionally-required group of young people are in Moscow when aliens decide to invade Earth, intent on wiping out everyone after first stealing all the energy (alien logic!). The youngsters naturally try to fight back but it's a losing proposition. The film appears to have bombed in the USA. It is releasing in both 2D and 3D, this is the 2D version.

89 minutes, No persons under 13 (Language, Violence)
Action, Horror, Sci-Fi, Thriller.
