The Darkest Hour

Cool though this might seem as a post-apocalyptic fashion accessory, it's fatally ill-thought-through...

Very cheap and silly-looking.

Sensationally poor.

There's literally nothing here that works: the SFX are limp, the acting is dire and director Chris Gorak seems to be fighting a losing battle with the concept of narrative logic.

It opts for less of the same old thing, but with more cruddy CGI and even more predictable results.

It's clear from early on that these characters are as indistinct and lazily rendered as the floating blobs chasing them.

A poor execution of a poorly conceived story, full of generic characters and bland special effects.

All of the poor 3D, lousy CGI, and run-of-the-mill plotting could be forgiven if there were some interesting characters onscreen, but there are none.

[It's] like a bad holiday fruitcake that somebody tried to spruce up with a zillion lumps of neon-colored, soggy jellybean guts.

Just dumb enough to feel like the product of intelligent grown ups who wanted to make something they'd have dug as widdle kids.
