Filming was temporarily suspended three weeks later due to the Russian wildfires affecting the city and its vicinity with their smog.
By September , filming had resumed. In April the release date was changed to December 25 due to filming conflicts in Russia. The Darkest Hour was released on December 25, , in the United States in 2D, 3D and RealD 3D.

This was a bit of fun to watch, nothing special, like an above average sci-fi channel flick, but fun to watch nonetheless. Hasn't been a box office hit or getting much in the way of good reviews, but if basic alien invasion is your cup of tea, you will probably enjoy it too.
I liked the aliens, not your usual lot, and the Moscow sets. The cast gave decent performances as well. I would have liked to see more of the invaders and would have liked a few more battle scenes, and could have enjoyed it just as well without the 3D effects.
All things considered, I will add it to my collection when it's available on disc. All Titles TV Episodes Celebs Companies Keywords Advanced Search.

Not knowing who the invisible aliens were going to kill next and all. Mmm, although the whole invisible aliens sounds like a cop-out, it really comes out quite interesting.
That is until you listen to what these actors are saying Seriously if this had been better developed it could have been a great sci-fi flick.
That script is really just what brings down this whole thing for sure. Wildaly M Super Reviewer. Apr 22, In "The Darkest Hour," Sean Emile Hirsch accompanies his friend Ben Max Minghella to Moscow for moral support for a business deal.
However, that is not going to be enough when they find out Skylar Joel Kinnaman has usurped Ben's idea. As consolation, the friends decide to go to a nightclub to drown their sorrows where they meet up with Natalie Olivia Thirlby and Anne Rachael Taylor , also from out of town.
And that's when the lights go out, followed by the light show which quickly turns deadly, forcing the survivors underground until they come up for air a couple of days later.
Outside of one great speech of what disaster brings out in people entirely self-serving in any case , pleas of international cooperation and the unique setting of Moscow, there is really nothing in "The Darkest Hour" that we have not seen before, except for maybe an appreciation for beginner physics.
Seriously, if I learned anything from "Doctor Who" over the years, it is to always wear sensible shoes in case of alien invasion.
That's not to mention all the indistinct character types running around madly. That just probably proves that in case of an extinction level event, it just comes down to location, location and location.
And I have seen Emile Hirsch do much better work elsewhere and Olivia Thirlby having just been named to The Guardian's Top 25 character actors list, ahead of Danny Trejo simply deserves better.
Walter M Super Reviewer. Aug 20, Another film to file under "The trailer made it look good". In truth the idea wasn't so bad, a different version to War of the worlds would be one way to describe it.
It had big ideas but unfortunately the CGI and acting didn't match the ambition. Some of the CGI for the aliens later on look more like an old Xbox game, and not on the !
The story and script start to turn rather silly half way through. It made Skyline look rather good. Although it was nice to Rachael Taylor back in a main stream film.
Dean K Super Reviewer. Jul 12, The first 15 minutes is complete amateur hour, as it tries to build characters and chemistry unsuccessfully.
