Written and filmed from the Russians perspective, The Darkest Hour is about aliens invading Russia instead of the U.S. as we usually see. And when aliens attack nowadays they hit the electronics first thing because they seem to realize that is our weakest link and the most vital element of life here on earth. liens conquer earth swiftly and totally by frying the electronic grid, then hunting down the pathetic and disorganized survivors who scurry like rats from the destruction and mayhem. Russians and five young American tourists band together in hopes of finding a way to overpower the alien forces and survive. cooperative effort, The Darkest Hour's director Chris Gorak (Right at your Door) and combined cast including Joel Kinnaman (TV series The Killing, Easy Money), Emile Hirsch (Taking Woodstock, Speed Racer), and Rachael Taylor (TV series Grey's Anatomy, Summer Coda).

It works well with the 3D aspect.

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader movie was released in 2010, the year of "Ironman 2," "Harry Potter 7", and "Tron: Legacy". So, the producers and director of "Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader" clearly felt the pressure to deliver a visual masterpiece. Capitalizing on the special alchemy of 3D, they succeeded. "A painting engulfs Lucy and Edmund Pevensie and their cousin Eustace, taking them back to Narnia and stowing them away on sailing ship The Dawn Treader. The brave and somewhat precocious warriors battle a fierce collection of monsters and villains, resisting their own powerful temptations, as they join forces with Reepicheep, a warrior mouse, to save Narnia. The computer animators do so well with the Lion, the Mouse, and the fairy princess, viewers willingly suspend disbelief. Of course, a mouse can out-maneuver a chimera."The producers and director paid proper respect to C.S. Lewis, early twentieth century author and scholar, who penned the novel The Voyage of the Dawn Treader as one among his Chronicles of Narnia. Lewis, a leading authority on medieval quest romance, crafted his story according to the traditions and conventions of the hero's quest, and the movie wisely recreates his craftsmanship. The film-makers achieve an unlikely hybrid of medieval story and twenty-first century imagery. They left open the question, however: Would audiences overdosed on 3D graphics and epic adventures fill the seats for another one?
