" As a virtual thunderstorm effects scale science fiction film, which lacks both interesting characters and an exciting plot and to succeed in no rousing action scenes. "

"Unfortunately Chris Goraks The Darkest Hour is but not a parody, but meant quite seriously, even if it's hard to believe. [ ... ] None of the characters was ambivalence or humanity expected of [ ... ] As if this was not annoying enough to make the film's protagonists for all your ventures on such a stupid, that the viewer soon seriously asks why those idiots who survived the attack of the aliens.
