Try to change your appetite, Reivew on The Darkest Hour

Although many netizens think the film is relatively poor, there are still many remarkable parts in terms of entertainment. I didn’t watch it with the mindset of watching a science fiction movie. When countless lights fell from the sky like jellyfish, I only thought it was a natural phenomenon. Later, when the police died, I found out that it was a science fiction movie, and I immediately changed it to a projection. The instrument comes to play. I have seen many science fiction films before. The protagonists are basically people who are engaged in science-related work or have hard skills in fighting. When a disaster occurs, scientists can make more reasonable judgments, and the audience will feel that the scientists are sure. To find a solution, heroic characters can at least compete against monsters. But the more unique vision of this film is to show the audience their escape process with people who are too ordinary. They don’t understand extraterrestrial creatures, they don’t understand science, and they can’t fight. They are just a group of characters who feel like brothers and sisters. In the process, you will feel very hopeless, because only a few civilians can survive and save. What about the world? In the process of watching, I wonder if there will be any heroic characters to rescue them, but at the end of the film, only they have escaped the pursuit of aliens all the way, and discovered a way to counter the aliens. In the past, sci-fi films where aliens invaded the earth would have more or less bloody elements and various visual stimuli, but the way of death in this film was to be quickly ashes, which psychologically alleviated the audience’s fear of death. It would be nice to watch such sci-fi movies if it's not a heavy taste. What makes me more regretful is that there are no handsome guys, and the acting skills of the actors are really somewhat. . . . . . It would be great if the director could briefly introduce the origin of aliens. The ending part allows us to see hope in despair.
