The Darkest Hour is one of the stupidest and worst movies i've seen in a while. The quality of this is something that belongs on the SyFy channel. The whole film consist of nothing but the characters coming up with really stupid excuses to travel from one location to another just to advanced the plot. The acting is really bad and the characters are not developed at all so we are giving no reason to care about them. Emile Hirsch has given some fantastic performances but it's as if he isn't even trying here. The dialogue is laughable and their are plot elements that are so dumb it seems as if a 13 year old wrote the script. The visuals are also very cheap looking. The end even sets it up for a sequel which I doubt anyone would want to see after sitting through this crap. The Darkest Hour is just awful and is on about the same level of the terrible alien invasion movies Battle LA and Skyline. Don't waste your time with this awful awful film.
