I don't like being lied to. This film leads veiwers to believe that it is based on a true story or true events. It doesn't take much research to discover that it is 100% false. Even if you don't believe in the possibility of aliens I imagine you would at least want to watch a film based on events that the "real" people believe to be true or claim to be true. The way the film is set up they do their best (haha not) to make viewers believe that what they are seeing is real. If I had to sit through that horrific looking woman in the wheel chair talking ridiculously slow looking like she was dying for another minute I would have gone bonkers I tell ya! Just watching her was the scariest part of the whole movie! Honestly this film is so horrible I don't even know why I'm giving it a 2. I would avoid this one unless you have nothing better to do and you don't mind the big possibility you'll hate yourself for watching it afterwards. Sometimes morbid curiosity makes me watch things even when I've been forewarned so I won't blame you! lol At least there's a couple "hair standing up on your arms moments" but it's really not that dramatic sadly because I love a good alien abduction film.

I wouldn't call myself a conspiracy theorist, but things like this have always interested me. Do I believe in the possibility of extraterrestrial intelligence? Yes. Abductions? Well I'm not sure. I do have to tip my hat to the director though, who did seem to do a proper research into these accounts and possibilities before creating the film. The use of Sumerian, one of the very first languages ever recorded on earth, was quite surprising. One of the most horrifically scary parts about the film is the recordings of the supposed "alien speech" that was accidentally recorded on doctor Tyler's tapes. Deep, grainy and forceful, speaking the Sumerian language. I have not personally researched the events that took place in Nome, but I can neither accept nor deny the possibility of any of the content used in the movie to be real, but it gives you a sense of wonder and interest. I find the movie interesting of course. Entertaining? Not quite as much, the reactions of people are highly exaggerated but hey, I'm not complaining.

DISCLAIMER: I am aware of the controversies surrounding this movie. The fact that it's marketing team abused real life cases of disappearances and deaths in Nome Alaska as promotional material with total disregard for the families and friends of the victims. As deplorable as this is, I will judge this movie objectively and will not be taking these controversies into account when I give my final score for this movie. REVIEW: "The Fourth Kind" is a movie in the mockumentary genre. It starts off with Milla Jovovich breaking the fourth wall and informing us that she is an actress portraying a real character, she even calls herself Milla Jovovich. This seems like a horrible decision on the director's part, especially when it's done in the opening of the movie as it destroys the audience's immersion.What makes this decision even more puzzling is that they show you the "real" footage alongside the re-enactment in a split screen. Which basically nullifies the point of the re-enactment entirely and only serves to further destroy the audience's immersion. It also didn't help that the "real" Dr. Abbey Tyler looks nothing like Milla Jovovich, which means you'll constantly have to remind yourself that those two are supposed to be the same person in the story. But perhaps the biggest flaw is that the movie is a total drag. Who knew Alien abductions could be this boring? Basically it's: 20% long shots of people driving, 50% people screaming, 30% pointless dialoguing. You don't get to see any aliens, you occasionally get to hear them speak though. Apparently they speak Sumerian, which is a real middle-eastern language from around 3000BC. Ironically the Sumerian language went extinct at around 2000BC, so it's basically the most useless language you could possibly speak if you're trying to communicate with people in 2017. And in the movie they make no attempt at explaining why they speak it, which might have made it somewhat interesting and creative. Apparently the directors thought the ending plot twist was so good that we'd forget about the first 1.2 hours of the movie. Unfortunately the plot twist was already easily predictable in the first 10 minutes of runtime and there's nothing worse than a movie which tediously builds up to a forgone conclusion. I award this borefest a 4/10. The only good thing about "The Fourth Kind" was Milla Jovovich's stellar acting performance, but even that couldn't save it.

Yes it's fakeBut some people don't get that it's part of the entertainment.notable part where they explain the viewers the authenticity of the story.that's why it's hated by othersthey just don't get it.
