| Synopsis:
In remote Alaska, citizens have been mysteriously vanishing since the 1960s. Despite multiple FBI investigations, the truth behind the phenomena had never been discovered--until now. While videotaping therapy sessions with traumatized patients, psychologist Dr. Abigail Tyler (Milla Jovovich) unwittingly exposes terrifying revelations of multiple victims whose claims of being visited by alien figures all share disturbingly identical details. Based on actual case studies, The Fourth Kind uses Dr. Tyler's never-before-seen archival footage alongside dramatic reenactments to present the most disturbing evidence ever documented in this provocative thriller critics are calling "terrifyingly real...The most shocking alien abduction movie to date." -Tim Anderson, BLOODY-DISGUSTING.COM |

ABDUCTION PLUS CHARIOTS OF THE GODS August 31, 2010
Michael Ledo (Windsor, SC United States)
In remote Nome Alaska, a pyschologist has discovered her patients may be part of a mass alien abduction. She later realizes that she is also a victim of the same. In order to make the movie seem realistic they juxtapostion "actual tapes" into the movie. The acting is good and the movie seems very realistic. Now for the bogus points(possible plot spoilers): The aliens spoke Sumerian. No one on earth knows what the dead language sounded like. Plus the language had so many variations and dialects ... That whole translation stuff was bogus. 2) The tapes? Let's see, abduction, murder, suicide, missing people...I think those tapes would be locked away in an evidence vault as well as using actual tapes would violate all patient-doctor ethical standards. Third, there are no aliens visiting earth. Fourth, we all know aliens abduct people in Mississippi, not Alaska. If you are interested in the astral-religion of Sumeria and of the Bible, may I suggest "On Earth as it is in Heaven, The Cosmic Roots of the Bible" by Michael Ledo. I own the first autographed copy.
Dilmun was actually more advanced than Sumeria and the Akkadians were the real brains behind Sumeria. Most people don't realize those facts, all they know is Sumeria from the 12th Planet nonsense. Apparently they didn't consult a real expert in Sumerian before they made the movie.
If you like reality type movies such as that dog, "Paranormal Activities," this movie may be for you.
 Maybe it's fake, maybe it's not...either way, it's pretty scary stuff August 30, 2010

This film is an interesting take on the alien abduction theory, borrowing from the fake "documentary" style of the Blair Witch Project and is also very similar to The Mothman Prophecies (which, btw, Will Patton was also in). Regardless of the negative reviews here (or elsewhere), the film is pretty darn creepy in that it actually goes beyond the alien theory. Maybe the stories in this film are all made up but based on actual case histories? Whatever the case, this movie was pretty attention-grabbing from start to finish. Highly recommended especially if you're interested in the subject matter and if you liked the two movies mentioned above - I thought "The Fourth Kind" was better than either of them.
 The Fourth Kind Just Doesn't Cut It! August 23, 2010
Lars
The Fourth Kind has a few scary moments, but over all, the movie has many segments that are very poor in video quality because they are apparantly from actual footage from actual events. The movie itself also seems fragmented and does not flow smoothly. I wouldn't waste my money on this one. If you are curious about the movie, just rent it.
This Would Explain a Lot August 18, 2010

Well, this less-is-more alien abduction film suckered me, but then I've been trying to figure out for some time how enough citizens, even in an isolated state like Alaska, could ever have voted for Sarah Palin as governor, even for the mercifully short term she stayed in office.
The gimmick here -- and it's well done -- is that they show supposed actual footage of events and testimony that were alleged to have taken place, alongside the glossy Hollywood reenactment of the same.
So, for example, you have the luscious Milla Jovovich playing the psychologist in Nome, Alaska who wonders why a number of her patients are having trouble sleeping and are all reporting similar events depriving them of sleep. Meanwhile we see grainy footage of a college professor interviewing the "real" psychologist, a middle-aged woman who seems to be suffering from acute post-traumatic stress disorder.
I don't know why the critics were so unkind to this film. Perhaps they were upset by the "hoax" being perpetrated here. All I know is, this film creeped me out in spades and suspended my disbelief for the length of its running time.
Fans of alien abduction films will enjoy "The Fourth Kind." Those who hate "The Blair Witch Project" and "Paranormal Activities" should probably stay away.
 Pretty good movie August 18, 2010
tony (booneville, ms)
Very convincing with the actual interviews being shown. Makes one wonder if there is something to what happened.
