Review of The Darkest Hour (2011) by Dharma — 14 Oct 2012
After seeing this film, I've decided that I don't like Timur Bekmabetov that much (who is acting as Producer here). The Russian wunderkind may be the best in his home country, but his films so far, to put it lightly, feels second rate.
The critics seemed to like him so much, heaping praise for his 'innovation'. However, his higher budgeted pictures felt amateurish at best. The Darkest Hour started pretty good, but felt so unsatisfying and derivative of every Alien invasion film that you felt cheated in the end.
If you want an Indie genre director that really delivers, wait for Neil Blonkamp's (District 9's) next features.
