    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

    by RobbySTi

    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????

    Creative Story Line and Direction

    by Cal Varnson

    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.
