I wanted to see this, but my theater was only playing the 3d version so i said no thank you. Same thing with the latest Underworld movie.

Same here. I usually wait 2-3 weeks after it has been release which is when my local cinemas switches them to 2D. As for Darkest Hour, I'll give it a rental. Heard it was pretty similar to Skyline in terms of quality.

The Darkest Hour was not a good movie. It is not even worth a rental.

The story was lame. The acting was terribly poor. The characters were so annoying. The CGI looked cheap and overall this movie was a waste of time.

The 3D in this movie was not done properly either.

Simply put, this movie should not have been released in theaters or on Blu-ray. It is a made for TV movie that was just awful.

anything shot in HD should be on Blu-ray, even TV shows lol

I thought the movie looked ok, nothing spectacular but I'm interested enough for rental or buying under $5, plus Olivia Thirlby is in it.. soooooo...

this movie must've bombed for it to be announced for home video just over a month after it's theatrical release

I've read other reviews that are like yours. I will pass on this one too. Maybe catch it late night TBS if nothing else is worth watching. Thanks for the heads up.

UPDATE: I watched the previews on this from another 3D blu ray movie. It looked pretty good to me. I just hope the rest of the movie will be good as well.
