Atterrati a Mosca con la prospettiva di vendere un'innovativa applicazione per telefoni cellulari a dei magnati russi, i due giovani programmatori Sean e Ben scoprono che un collega svedese si è appropriato dell'idea e ha concluso l'affare prima di loro. Per consolarsi, decidono di passare la serata in uno dei locali più glamour della capitale, dove stringono amicizia con due turiste americane. Fra una vodka e l'altra, all'improvviso la città viene paralizzata da un gigantesco black out e dal cielo cominciano a scendere degli strani fasci di luce. Una volta toccata la terra, questi bagliori si fanno invisibili e iniziano a disintegrare uno ad uno tutti gli umani che si trovano di fronte, seminando in tutta la città panico e distruzione.

**When the electric mist from the sky struck down.** This film came five years ago, but I watched it now. A US-Russian collaboration product that's entirely takes place in Moscow. This is an alien invasion theme, but slightly different than those similar films. It never gives the reason, just the destructions like apocalypse on its way. That means it is about the survival. A group of Americans who are in the Moscow for different reasons joins the hands after people started to turn into ashes with the contact of the strange electric mist that came from the sky. So what's their plan now and whether they get out of it safely or not focused on the remaining film. Surely some people would enjoy it. It's not all bad if you are not expecting a masterpiece. I should have seen it in digital 3D for a better experience, even the normal watch is not that bad. The turns in the story were unpredictable, particularly the film characters, but the twist wasn't. They kept the open ending, and you know why is that. I liked the performances, not individually, but the overall everyone, including the Russians. The film was also shorter, which means fast moving tale. The graphics were okay, especially those electric mist thing, but disappointed for not show the aliens other than for fractions of seconds during the fightbacks. Despite enjoyed watching it, I'm not in favour of it, because it's just one of those films that falls in the average category where the majority of those who watched it not happy for not detailing everything in the film. _4/10_
