A first look at The Darkest Hour

After watching the trailer, below, I came away thinking "Isn't the monster a re-imageined version of the invisible, id, monster from The Forbidden Planet?".

It's another attempt from Hollywood to make a sci-fi movie for teenage market.

Four young people who find themselves stranded in Moscow, fighting to survive in the wake of a devastating alien attack, and combines mind blowing special effects from filmmaker Timur Bekmambetor (Wanted) with the grounded, post-apocalyptic vision of director Chris Gorak (Right At Your Door).
