This movie stinks
Added 3/20/2010
The 4th kind is totally lame. It is a movie trying to claim its real documentation of alien abduction (though any sluething will show you this is not the case).
Yet the entire movie, you never see the UFO or aliens. Most alien abduction related films try and build suspense and climax until near the end of the movie, when you finally get to see
the aliens and or the UFO. Not this movie, you never see them at all. The entire movie is people acting scared under hypnosis. Why didn't they just make a movie based on an actual case?
Whether you believe in Alien abduction or not, there is still a plethora of alien abduction cases in literature they could have used.
The movie gets mired in plot devices that they insert but never fully build on, at all, such as the death of abigail tylers husband. They also go on a tangent about the aliens speaking sumerian and so forth, but they never give you any conclusion, there is no climax in this movie where everything feels resolved, AT ALL. They tried inserting too many plot devices
and never finished them.
As I said earlier, any sluething would tell you this movie is a fake, but if you pay attention the movie contradicts itself many times. Furthermore, if you pay attention to the dates of the so called "archived photage", they want you to believe this all happened in the span of a few days.
Avoid this movie at all costs, its a collection of messy plot devices, unfinished ideas, and a unsatisfying ending that isn't really an ending.

This film makes the "Blair Witch" look like an "A" movie. You should have had a clue when you see that the writer and the director are one in the same, Olatunde Osunsanmi, who was involved in the most horrendous abuses of the film industry. Unless he has deep pockets, someone is still funding him. Milla Jovovich can ruin her career if too many people see this film. This is a dead slow mocumetary.
Abbey Tyler an Alaskan psychiatrist helps people realize that the owls in their lives are not what they seem. Then she must face her own big owl. Lots of screaming.
Avoid even watching out of curiosity. It is too ridicules for words.

This is one movie U can't go off of other peoples opinion. Denial can Run VERY DEEP! If your looking for a special effects Sci-Fi Thriller, this is NOT it.
If your looking for some answers, you just might have found one......

This is a great film. Is it really a true story?
Added 3/19/2010
Ok, let's start by saying that all the people bashing this film for being "based on actual events" have apparently not seen a horror film since and including Tobe Hooper's epic "The Texas Chain Saw Massacre." Ever since horror films have used that label as a gimmick. That is all it is. Get over it. The Blair Witch doesn't exist. Kate and Mika from "Paranormal Activity" are alive and well. New York is not digging out from the Cloverfield monster. No humans died filming "Cannibal Holocaust." Get it? I digress.
The Fourth Kind is one of the most finely crafted thriller/horror films I have seen in a long time. The mix of "real" and "recreated" scenes is done really well. This film also succeeds in an area where so many have fallen flat: The Fourth Kind is actually scary. Imagine, and with a PG-13 rating and everything. The performances are well done. The special effects while minimal have terrific impact. This film does require suspension of disbelief and that seems to be where a lot of people get stuck. If you need to see everything that happens then you probably will not like The Fourth Kind. If you have a great imagination and you are able to play pretend for an hour and a half then you will get a big payoff. Also, as with most films, the less you know going in to the movie the better. Five stars.
