The Darkest Hour

Another apocalyptic invasion, another promising premise, another failed attempt.  So far the best film of the nature I've seen recently is Battle: Los Angeles.  There are some promising moments like the initial invasion, which we only see for about ten minutes.  Then we watch another four or five days of four people sat in a room condensed into five minutes.  By the time they come out all of the inhabitants of Moscow appear to have been vaporised.

Those four days would have been the most interesting part of the story, the struggle to survive, running from the invaders.  Kind of like Skyline but hopefully with more interesting characters.
