Kernel Rating (out of 5): 
MPAA Rating: PG-13 Length: 89 minutes
Age Appropriate for: 13+. Cursing and some CGI-heavy alien murder. Not too gory or scary, just typical disaster movie stuff.
If ‘The Darkest Hour’ were a made-for-TV B-movie, it would be great! Sadly for its cast and crew, it’s not.

It would be nice if “The Darkest Hour” were an ingenious alien-invasion movie that didn’t steal major plot points
