The Darkest Hour is a movie about American tourists in Moscow when aliens successfully attack Earth. As might be suggested here, the plot is rather simple and straight-foward. However the movie is rather entertaining.
Often sci-fi movies with small-ish budgets and simplistic plots are predictable. Certian tropes, often made famous by bid-budget films, become a norm. Typically they are also poorly executed. In these cases the most entertaining aspect is the science-fiction concept that motivates the plot. And one often has to make it throught the 90 minutes of tropes, to fully understand it.
The movie doesn't really have much of an in depth sci-fi idea. We don't really learn a lot about the aliens or their purpose. Surprisingly it was still enjoyable to watch to the end.
However it is by no means a good movie; it's a watchable movie, but not a good one.
