Ersbel Oraph The film is okay for a boring evening. That it comes with Netflix is a clear advantage. Otherwise nothing special. The usual white heterosexual American male. You have all the stereotypes. Girl dies. Who cares? We have to regroup. Boy dies, well, that puts the heroes one step closer to death, because, you know, a boy can fight and be creative and stuff. Who gets them into trouble? Well, the girls. Not that the script is much nicer with the Russians. By the end, I was glad there was no KGB agent. So, in a way, this is a much better script than the 2018 New York Times or over the hill senators playing the Cold War game like their daddies.

susanelizabethbaker There have been so many movies (and even T.V. shows) involving "Winnie" Churchill, have involved stirring visuals, stirring speeches, but I just want to direct you to the IMDB writer who decided that this was best reported as a 2011 release (The Darkest Hour(2011)) because, let's face it, a bad re-creation of Churchill standing down is just the beginning of the madness.Pick another movie about WWII. Almost any other movie about WWII. Some of my favorites include The Great Escape, The Great Dictator. and Casablanca, but ymmv.

Filip Petrovic Even though this movie isn't "something special", for me, a big fan of alien invasions and stuff like that, it wasn't bad. Finally something new. A fresh idea that could have been better.Completely cold, dull and with a weak plot, its one of the movies which you'll watch and you won't care which character is going to die.It was still exciting at the times and ending is great, it leaves space for a sequel which they probably won't make.If you are a fan of alien invasions, weak plots and your standards for sci-fi movies are low then you might even enjoy it... Otherwise don't bother with it.

Jackson Booth-Millard I remember seeing this in the DVD rental store Blockbuster, probably one of the last entries before it shut down, I knew it was a sci-fi film but I didn't know the concept, clips certainly made it look worth trying, so I did. Basically Sean (Into the Wild's Emile Hirsch) and Ben (Max Minghella, director Anthony's son) are American software designers and entrepreneurs travelling to Moscow to sell their social networking/party locating software to investors, but they go out of business when their Swedish business partner Skyler (RoboCop's Joel Kinnaman) pulls a fast one. Natalie (Olivia Thirlby) and Anne (Rachael Taylor) are walking around and are overheard by Sean and Ben talking about their blog, they think they are cute and go to a nightclub, there Sean and Ben see Skyler and confront him, he mocks them, so they move on, flirt with the girls and have a good night. All of the sudden the lights go out, the population all over are surprised by the lights going on and off and mistake it for a natural phenomena, but then they realise the lights coming on in a travelling sequence are in fact invisible aliens, and any humans caught in their path dissolve in a flash of electric lights and explode like fragments of ash. The unseen aliens are using power supplies to annihilate mankind, the only way for them to be seen is in the darkness with the electrical current creating light and sparks, so the remaining five people in the club hide in the cellar for a good few days. Sean, Ben, Natalie, Anne and Skyler come out and are now on the run from the extra-terrestrial force, travelling only in the night time to stand a good chance of survival, but with the streets deserted and only remnants of victims and civilisation remaining they question if they are the only survivors left. In the end, after some interaction with the military forces, and trying to find a way to eliminate the threat of the aliens, the remaining characters do manage to defeat them with the power supply exposing them and destroying them with a specially designed weapon. Also starring Veronika Vernadskaya as Vika, Dato Bakhtadze as Sergei, Yuriy Kutsenko as Matvei and Artur Smolyaninov as Yuri. The cast are as good as you could expect, the story and events in the film are predictable, it is not the most gripping film and I agree with critics lacks imagination, but you are drawn in I suppose by the really good special effects that see the invisible creatures destroy humans with molecular disintegration, it is not such a terrible science-fiction horror thriller. Okay!
