Who’s up for a good ol’ fashioned alien invasion romp then? We haven’t had one of those in… a month.

So what’s THE DARKEST HOUR got that all the gazillion others don’t, besides starring that blonde science boffin slash Maxim model from the first TRANSFORMERS film? Let’s get it over with and have a look see…

Oh. Ok. I take that back. This looks pretty darn awesome actually! Love the post apocalyptic imagery, the Russian setting, it has an interesting approach to the aliens, and a fine young cast (glad to see Hirsch has recovered from the indignity of the SPEED RACER debacle of 2008).

Watch out for THE DARKEST HOUR in cinemas January 2012. Quite looking forward to it now!

Speaking of SPEED RACER, is it just me or was that movie way ahead or its time? Am I the only one who owns it on DVD? I can’t be. Anyone? Hello? Fine. So what did you think of the trailer then? Let us know with your comments below!
