Plot: In 1972, a scale of measurement was established for alien encounters. When a UFO is sighted, it is called an encounter of the first kind. When evidence is collected, it is known as an encounter of the second kind. When contact is made with extraterrestrials, it is the third kind. The next level, abduction, is the fourth kind. This encounter has been the most difficult to document...until now. Structured unlike any film before it, The Fourth Kind is a provocative thriller set in modern-day Nome, Alaska, where, mysteriously since the 1960s, a disproportionate number of the population has been reported missing every year. Despite multiple FBI investigations of the region, the truth has never been discovered. Here in this remote region, psychologist Dr. Abigail Tyler (Milla Jovovich) began videotaping sessions with traumatized patients and unwittingly discovered some of the most disturbing evidence of alien abduction ever documented. Using never-before-seen archival footage that is integrated into the film, The Fourth Kind exposes the terrified revelations of multiple witnesses. Their accounts of being visited by alien figures all share disturbingly identical details, the validity of which is investigated throughout the film.

I'M STILL SHAKING!!!!
Added 3/21/2010

You see, I went into watching this movie with an open mind and it worked for me. I have always been doubtful but curious about alien abduction. This film is scary because it gets into your head and makes you think. I still can't stop thinking and brainstorming about this movie. Well done in my honest opinion. I didn't go to see the film in the theater when it initially came out either in fear that it might not be that decent. Boy was I wrong! At least I grabbed it on Blu-Ray. The effect at home was probably even better than it would have at the movies. Those interview scenes when the video gets all distorted...YIKES!!! I can't stop thinking about it. I thought it was extremely scary and I am proud to own it. It is a movie that I know I will watch many times.

The truth is in the film.

As expressed in the introduction of The Forth Kind, alias are used in this film to protect the abductees/witnesses of this spine chilling event in Nome, Alaska. Every true-event inspired film has some Hollywood effects and fillers. Do not let the effects and fillers hinder your ability to put a fictional or non-fictional label upon the content in this movie. If you do research on the web, you will find nothing upon the backgrounds of this movie.

The Forth Kind presents a down to earth and acceptable cause to the myth of alien abductions. The Forth Kind is a strong PG-13 film. I would rate it R due to the nature and controversy upon the subject that the movie discusses. I would not recommend this movie for children either. The Forth Kind will give you scare the daylights out of you. The story progression will keep you at the edge of your seat and you will beg for more information at the conclusion. Also, The Forth Kind is tastefully done.

In my opinion, this movie's background probably the most creditable alien abduction to date. If you are skeptical, please rent or purchase this movie. You can either accept The Forth Kind's background or label it as a Hollywood fiction. I'll leave that to you. Let a clear conscious guide your decision on the background information that this movie provides.

The Forth Kind is a must see!

Definitely worth getting on Blu-Ray
Added 3/21/2010

I waited for this movie to come out on DVD because I thought it wouldn't be that good. Now I wish I had seen this in the movie theater! To make a sci-fi movie this creepy is pretty difficult but the filmmakers did it. It gets real creepy at the end during the last interview with the main character. Anyone knocking this flick is probably that miserable guy that everyone knows and hates to be around. I'd buy this on Blu-ray, no doubt!

Paranormal Anomalies are rare but real!
Added 3/20/2010

As an author of Secret Societies Exposed, Ufologist, Cult Investigator and former law enforcement I conclude that this movie has profound merit. Like so, there is no doubt that the film challenges our imagination with the premise of science VS fiction. I have performed multiple field investigations of such paranormal anomalies and found Parapsychological evidence to support such claims even thought there are many claims that are classified as hoax. Im also a Senior Paranormal Investigator with the Florida Paranormal Research Foundation and there are plenty of cases that exist that are beyond science and logical comprehension! Interestingly, Dr. Tyler never received sufficient assistance in her case and was dismiss by officials since this type of conspiracy theory can never be ascertained by officials, FBI or government.

Thus, can you Imagine the social pandemonium that would develop if the government was to confirm that Aliens are real! Subsequently, the Church will also lose its multibillion dollar a year franchises. In conclusion, the truth is out there....seek and thou shall find. I would like to find Dr. Abigail Tyler and re-open this cold case file in order for her to receive closure on her losses! She deserves that much!

Bad on so many levels
Added 3/20/2010

The director pushes to hard to try and convince the viewer that it is real. Why re-enact something if you have the actual footage? What was he thinking putting the re-enactment side by side supposedly with the actual footage.
[Spoiler] I think a technical flaw in the film is what finally ruined my suspension of dis-belief. When the sheriff asked somebody to take the shot during a hostage situation and they were supposedly showing actual footage, the shot was there. Even in a small town in Alaska (maybe especially a small town in Alaska) somebody would have had the confidence to make that shot, given the green light. Should have had a technical adviser. Sorry that was close to 6 inches clearance at less than a hundred yards.
