Scott H @AndrewSHH Sep 7, 2026 While not spectacular, it's not the utter disaster people make it out to be. One thing I like about it is that it stays serious. Maybe it's a little too serious. Still, I'm tired of characters in life-or-death situations acting like the danger is a joke. If they're not scared, I'm not scared. What's the point?

Not the usual space aliens and plots See more Jodie C @RT10559462 Aug 26, 2026 I honestly thought this was great. It was gripping, it was tense, people died unexpectedly. This is a much better watch than newer films with awful AI/CGI and stupid jokes in a moment thats meant to be scary. Older films will always be better and this was fantastic! It was like war of the world's, not quite as good of course thats a classic but this was a great film. See more Harry T @RT75886331 Aug 26, 2026 Great movie, no need for extreme cgi these days since its difficult to find a movie that entices you rather than throwing in popular actors/actresses in with 0 imagination, aka 'the end of oak street'. Any move past 2019 is poor. This was well directed and im gutted there isn't a 2. Other so called critics are way off, the characters used were not 'let one man lead the way to victory and save the planet', this movie gave multiple different personalities as you would find if the situation was real all essentially handing in their own knowledge and working together. There is no saving a character just because the audience likes them, it is just carnage. Criminal that this movie has 12%, I would happily swap the end of oak street rating for this. 87% is well deserved. See more Mitch S @SwagoDiego2k May 26, 2026 Wow I really wonder if they were planing lining up a series with this one. You'd have to be completely out of your gord to look at this and think this was a suitable product to release and charge people money for. I watched for free and I'm still upset at how bad it was. If you paid professional actors to try and act this bad they would fall short! But the ending seems like someone thought this would not only be a success but that they would obtain funding for a second which is bonkers. The enimies are silly. The come to understanding and ultimately how to defeat these, electrical balls? Is dumb. Every second to the last is all pointless garbage. I could watch paint dry and be a more beneficial and exciting experience than watching this. One star for the sheer fact it is hard to make a movie and I respect effort even if that effort was horrific. Don't watch. Or do! Dealers choice. See more Blake- N @PBSAniDom Apr 27, 2026 The Darkest Hour is a major disappointment and feels like a wasted opportunity from Summit Entertainment’s US release strategy. While the concept could have been interesting, the execution is flat, uninspired, and lacking any real tension or emotional weight. The characters are underdeveloped and hard to care about, making most of the film feel empty and repetitive rather than thrilling. The international distribution handling by a different studio only highlights how uneven this film’s identity feels, as if different versions of the same idea were never fully unified. Compared to it, 50/50 (2011)—also handled in the same general era—is far superior in storytelling, pacing, and emotional impact, even though it’s a completely different genre. That film actually connects with its audience, while The Darkest Hour just doesn’t land. Overall, it’s forgettable, poorly executed, and not worth revisiting. 2/10. See more Read all reviews
