Russian director Bekmanbetov also has a dream: to make the most shocking sci-fi movie with the least amount of money. With this idea and a very good script, there is this "Darkest Hours", with him as the producer and Chris Gorak, who had directed "Thriller City", as the director. The film tells the story of several American tourists who encounter an alien species invasion while traveling in Moscow, struggle to resist, struggle to survive, and finally find a way to kill the aliens. The actors have used a group of young actors born in the 1980s, such as Emile Hirsch, Oli Wesselby, Rachel Taylor, and Max Mingella.
After watching the movie, you will find that the filming of this film is still somewhat new: the empty Red Square and streets of Moscow, it is very shocking to see the mess at a glance. Huge fiery red tornadoes are alien species digging for resources on Earth. This time, the alien species has a fully transparent protective cover, which will only appear under electromagnetic interference, and the weapon is even more powerful. The tentacles similar to electromagnetic waves kill people invisible. It's a good way to save money without a huge alien fleet and complex and ugly alien creatures. The earthlings are not completely unprepared this time. A few foresighted earthlings have discovered the weakness of alien species and invented electromagnetic guns and electromagnetic protection nets to prepare for a showdown with alien creatures.
If you remove these novel and money-saving sci-fi elements, you will find that this film is a modern sci-fi version of Left 4 Dead. It's just that the zombies are replaced by transparent aliens, the location is selected in Moscow, and the human weapons are replaced by electromagnetic guns. The earth has become the Pandora star in the eyes of aliens, but human beings have just found an effective way to fight aliens, and a full-scale counterattack can only look forward to the sequel.
The shooting scene of the film is grand, the special effects are novel, the handsome men and beautiful women are distinct, and the elements of horror and suspense are all present. It is a sci-fi movie in which the earthlings fight against the invasion of alien creatures.
