REEL DEAL: The Darkest Hour (3D) REVIEW


2012 is marked it its first "end of the world" movie with THE DARKEST HOUR (3D in selected cinemas). Starring Emile Hirsch, Max Minghella, Olivia Thirlby, and Rachael Taylor


Two young American men travel to Moscow to sell their social networking/party finding software only to find their software is already being sold by the Russian team they were to sell it to, led by a Swedish businessman. While commiserating in the company of attractive women they and many other people see an aurora-like apparition in the sky.


The group now finds themselves in a race to survive with almost the world population wiped out not only in Moscow but other cities as well. With invisible enemies around them and with no place to run or hide, how will they survive this catastrophe? 
   


From Director Timur Bekmambetov, the location of the film brings a different view of Sci Fi movies as it happens on the Russian capital Moscow. 


The Darkest Hour (3D) distributed and released by 20th Century Fox. Now Showing in Theaters Nationwide

Deliberation time kids! 
Show summary in 3 lines: Mayhem in Moscow!
Technical Effects: 4 out of 5 stars (I'm just amazed how they can make a busy City like Moscow turn into a ghost town)

Plot: 2 out of 5 stars (The story seems to generic with just small changes in location and people)
Acting and Actors:
 3 out of 5 stars (With a mix of American and Russian actors, the Russian seems to dominate the scenes)
DVD worthiness: 3 out of 5 stars (hope it includes a Microwave gun)
Sequel worthiness:
 YAY

3D worthiness: NAY
Music and Soundtracks:  3 out for 5 stars (fair but not as that complimenting to hyphening the moment)
Overall: Rating 3 out of 5 stars (Still a nice movie to break away from the usual American landscape and get to know more about Russia and the beautiful city of Moscow)
