The Darkest Hour



Ehum... Was this meant to be taking seriously o.O? Oh well! It feels like this movie was made because they just wanted to do cool stuff and see annoying people die.

... I didn't like it, but the effects were nice!

The story is about... I want to say a guy but the story is about nice effects so, the story STARTS with four people who meets coincidentally at a party in a foreign country and they're having a good time and they decide that they're gonna take a picture of the fun moment to their blog. 1. 2. 3. KLICK... Black out! The lightning in the whole city turns off and they think it's just a black out... Until they go outside and they see some sort of yellow Northern Lights. Then some kind of yellow electric balls that reminded me of jellyfish comes down to the ground and as soon as they touch the ground they turn invisible. A cop walkes towards the invisible jellyfish and is about to touch it with his baton when he suddenly is turned to dust! Panic! And everybody is running around afraid and you get really sucked in to the rush and I felt the panic to just get out of there.... but I wouldn't go inside a house to seek cover.... Oh well! The four people in the beginning survives the attack however together with a jerk and the rest of the movie is just see them running around and admire some good effects.

This was a Action pact Science Fiction and that says a lot. This is why I don't like action: Their characters have no personality, they're just there to help with the explosions and killing. I like movies that have their characters well developed and actually serve a more purpos than to fire guns! So that's the most reason I didn't like it. The parts where we didn't see the invisible jellyfishes were really boring and I was just waiting to see the action, counting the movie to end (and I really didn't like the ending) so that wasn't entertaining at all.

The effects however was really good and I like the idea of electrisoty hungry aliens and they were really nice done! The scenes with those were really creepy and they were really unpredictable! I had no idea what to expect from them and it was really scary.

Also they do explain, even though it was fast and you have to pay attention to it, but they explain it! .... I should tell you what they explain... Well, they explain what the creatures are and why they can't see them or if they see or hear humans and stuff like that. They go by things they know from the human world so they can't figure out where they came from or any of those things. But you get pretty much explained and I liked that.... However.. It was the guy who didn't attend to school that said all these things. It was the poor partyboy (or what ever you want to call him) who explained what they are and how they function.... Not his friend who really was smart! ... That bugged me..

About the ending.... If you haven't guessed yet.. SPOILERS!!!
I didn't like this ending because it went too fast. It felt like: "We have no idea how to make this a happy ending but... We got to have a happy ending! .. Somehow! We'll work it out!" Their sulution wasn't good at all. But that's how I feel about most action movies.. MOST OF THEM! So you can understand why since it's a movie that just concentrate on the action, if the action isn't happening... It's done! When I saw the credits I was like: "That's it? What? ... Nothing more? ... What kind of bad ending is that?!" So that wasn't pleasent either.

So the only thing that was good about this movie was the "aliens" jellyfishes and... It wasn't enough to get me to like it... I like my characters to be humans! Not screamy fire happy hamsters! But if you like that sort of thing, check it out! The effects are good so.. Watch it for that XD
Bye for now!
