    Go See This Now!

    by uleij

    Seriously, go see it. I am not an alien movie fan or really into the whole "other beings" stories etc...but you can't miss this movie. I just got done watching it and I will see it again because I know I missed things that I want to see again. I didn't find it slow at all like other complained of and I kept wanting more. I kept wanting so see more of the Real life footage. I love how the whole movie was set up. You will too. Go See It!

    ALL I CAN SAY IS WOW YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS, MIGHT BE PROOF OF ALIENS

    So I just got in after seeing The Fourth Kind. I went to see the movie paranormal activity and snuck into The Fourth Kind after..... Don't waste your time with the movie paranormal activity, if you want to see REAL paranormal activity go see the fourth kind, man i hope i dont get abducted for writing this review haha. I mean if that footage they have is real than man I am a bit scared that we are not alone in our huge universe. Ya the movie trys to sway you to believe because they connect all the right dots, but man go see it and decide for yourself. I wouldn't call this a normal movie you see for entertainment it is kinda half documentary and half acting, but the so called real footage you see is insane. it isn't a typical scary movie in fact it is not really scary it is more disturbing in an intriguing way. Bottom line go see the movie and why hasn't this already been a huge youtube conspiracy????

    This poor lady...

    by aRePa

    I want to say "Must Go", but I can't because it is disturbing. Some scenes, especially the "archived" material are beyond creepy and surreal. I don't think it was aliens at all, but it came across as some type of demonic possession or possession caused by some type of ancient Nephilim. The fact that "it" is speaking in ancient Sumerian and says something translated to "I am God", it is in fact very Un-Godly, but of the Earth, even Interterrestrial as opposed to Extraterrestrial for some reason. I hope to God that something like this has never been true, but if it has, poor "Abigail" has lost some type of battle...against what no one knows.

    Fourth Kind = The Best Kind

    Regardless of belief of the existence of any extraterrestrial life, the varied forms of contact, or the varied portrayals of events in films, this movie slams home the emotional repercussions that could potentially stem from abductions by life forms from beyond Earth.

    I went to the midnight showing and left absolutely shaken, butterflies in my stomach and thoroughly entertained. Milla Jovovich was outstanding as Dr. Abigail Tyler, as was her supporting cast. As a "documentary", the storyline leaves one questioning their belief in the extraterrestrial and their contact with us. As a thriller, the movie has many points where you want to jump straight out of your seat & head for the doors.

    I loved "The Fourth Kind", it scared the pants off of me. I just might go see it again. As long as one goes with either an open mind, or without prejudgmental expectations, prepare yourself to be blown away.

    Very Creepy!

    As a retired fillmmaker, I found this story to be very interesting as I had an encounter of the First Kind when I was 20 years old of coming in contact within 200 ft. What I really liked about this story as it did not just feel like some movie made on stage.... This film included the actual footage, and by using it in conjuction with the story.... it made it even more believable. Most of these type of movies are more fiction than fact, and what made this film even better... it had fact with the story to back it up. So it allow you to become the believer or not. For myself, I am a TRUE believer as I have been for many many years now.... This film just took this belief a step further, and it gave me goosebumps as it was really CREEPY.... Make sure you see it from the beginning and do not get into the theatre late.... Enjoy!

    Creative Story Line and Direction

    I purposely avoided reading any reviews leading up to this movie as I wanted to go into the theater without any preconceived notions. I'm glad I did, because the overwhelming response to this movie is average at best. I disagree, I found it to be creative and compelling.

    The director does a very good job getting the audience to "believe" this story is factual. The archival footage is realistic and chilling and I found the story to be as believable as one can find an alien abduction film.

    I think this was an entertaining move and I recommend it to anyone that enjoys SciFi with the occassional spine tingling moments.

    Have I Been Abducted?

    I was completely shocked and disturbed by this movie.

    I went expecting it to be another bad/cheesy horror flick, instead I was completely engaged and forced to get really honest with myself and answer some hard questions.

    I can't go into them here but I will say this, this is not your ordinary ET movie. It is based, from my own personal research and experience, on actual real life events. I predict we have not heard the end of this movie. I suspect there will be quite a buzz.

    I saw the movie twice on the same day, due to the fact that is was so disturbing. At times during the movie, I had completely zoned out, lost in my own thoughts and past experiences. It gave me more insight as well as left me wondering....have I been abducted? This is my honest question. I recently published my first book about the alien invasion based on dreams I had between 2004-2007, called Dreams & Visions of our Future. Watching this movie has forced me to take a second look.

    Overall enjoyable!

    by vip816

    I was drawn to this movie because I like thrillers and scary movies. Since I do not want to ruin it for you, I won't say anything to spoil it. This movie definitely had its intense moments that made me jump a few times. The way the movie was made/played out was ingenious in my opinion. It was a new format and something I did not expect. This is a decent movie overall, but be warned that it is inappropriate for children. There were several children in the audience at my viewing and one got so scared from one of the scenes that he started crying nonstop and his idiotic family had to leave the theater. Anyway, the one thing I will suggest is this: DO NOT READ ANY MORE REVIEWS OR RESEARCH INTO THIS MOVIE BEFORE WATCHING IT... too many people are giving away spoilers in their reviews without even flagging it as a spoiler. I'm so happy I only researched into this movie AFTER I saw the film. If you want to be entertained, this movie will do that for you.

    worth it

    by jpease4

    I went to see this movie today with a gift card.... It is definitely worth giving 2 hours of your day to enjoy. Its smart, fast paced, true, and leaves its audience informed. I recommend this movie to everyone, even people who don't buy any of the U.F.O. theories. It is based on a true story and contrary to the review left by a 21 year old resident of Nome, Alaska (see that review below) all the information from this movie can be verified on-line @Google. I know because I did it myself, thats what made me choose this movie to see today. I made the right decision ...I loved it, and any openminded, theoretical loving, looking for some answers individual will enjoy this just the same.....Thank me later :-)

    The Fourth Kind

    The movie was well done. I've read other reviews that say the movie was slow, but I didn't think so at all, keeping in mind that it's more of a documentary. There's a lot of controversy about whether the story is true. People say they can't find information about the characters, but all through the movie there were captions that said real names weren't used. True or not, I'm glad that people are making an attempt to educate people about the fact that extraterrestrials do exist when the government is doing a huge disservice by keeping information from its citizens, thinking we can't handle the truth. Governments in other countries are further ahead of us in that arena and publicly conducting UFO research. To sum it up, I really enjoyed the movie - by the end my hands were sore from gripping the armrests of the chair so hard - or maybe it was my friend's leg! Some of the scenes were really terrifying, especially since they were backed up with live footage.

    Must See

    by jab81

    After attending over 20 movies this year, this one was by far the best one yet. Based on real events, this movie really delivers. If you are a skeptic to begin with, you will probably walk away from the movie just thinking the lady is crazy. If you believe, this movie will further solidify your beliefs. This movie actually made the audience think and pay attention the whole time. You don't want to go to the bathroom or get a popcorn refill because you might miss something.....and trust me, it's good. The ending was sadr but I'm going to do lots of research now into the numerous disappearances and the Sumerian language. I find it fascinating that the FBI has been to Nome, AK so many times to investigate. What exactly is being investigated and why is it being covered up? I can't wait until this movie comes out on DVD!

    Hollywood fiction with help from Scientology, but entertaining

    Do you believe video of Alien abductions would remain secret for nine years? Do you believe the Aliens were here on earth 4000 "BC"? Last question - Do you believe one of the executive producers is a Scientologist? - that one's true.

    This was an entertaining movie that sprinkled truth into a Hollywood story about Aliens. Virtually none of the facts can be substantiated, and the very town folk don't buy the abduction story either. It's a bit slow at times, except for the totally gullible, but it was an interesting mix of "actual video" and their drama.
    Flip a coin on this one!

    Forth Kind

    Pretty boring, more of documentary. Split screen drove me nuts, but without it the move wouldn't have made much sense. Paranormal activity was MUCH better
