Il quarto tipo

I don't necessarily know if this movie should be dragged as much as it is, because it's not trash. The premise is kinda campy once you realize that it's not actually real and it is somewhat problematic to piggyback on the real-life tragedies of a small town in Alaska. However, taking the movie for what it is, it's not terrible. It's not great, but it's not terrible. It's enough to make you feel weird about owls though.

The UFO genre is one of my favorite genres to kill time when I'm watching a horror movie, The 4th Kind was a pretty hype movie the time it came out, at least in my city, I remember there was a lot of emotion about the trailer and the cover it presented, and how it was part of the sacred genre ''based on real events''. Oddly enough, I didn't see it on opening day, so I can say that by today's standards, it's a great meeh.

It's a combination of fake-documentary with dramatic film scenes; a somewhat interesting mix that manages to build a good narrative (although if you read the story behind the film you're disappointed.) But after that, the film is somewhat boring. It's slow/fast moving, you know? It feels like they're spitting things out but the movie itself doesn't advance, and the climax ends up being mediocre at best. The script is bland, and they always put in the typical UFO movie clichés, so that lost a lot of interest.

The movie is decent, not terrible, but not excellent either, it can entertain a little, and the first minutes of the movie are a bit disturbing, but after that, it loses its seriousness and also its total entertainment.

Why do so many people feel like a movie has to be a life changing event? This movie is a great way to spend 1 1/2 hours. The acting is very good. The "real" vs acting element is well done. Milla does a wonderful job drawing in the audience. The story is fun & the concept is entertaining.

Some movies are done just to provide entertainment. Nothing more, nothing less. This is one of those films.

Go with a good attitude and enjoy. There are no life lessons to learn. There is no great revelation. Just go for fun.

Enjoy!

I watched this movie with some friends and we started commenting some of the first scenes until the shock came and made us shut up.

Trying to remember good scary Sci Fi UFO movies I can't find too much, maybe because its a difficult matter to build as a movie, a lot of attempts ended with cheesy non-credible movies but this isn't the case.

The movie has a lot of good tense moments with good acting but kind of start to fail with some ideas in the middle of the story, there are some flaws that make it less credible but still scary.

There are some details like the photography and direction that are great and paired with the cast and good story makes the film an enjoyable scary ride.

The genre of this movie attracted me first but the poor IMDb rating ruined my interest to see it. I heard somewhere that it's kinda horror but a different type. After watching this, I can also tell that it's really a different one. The movie based on the story of alien encounters where a psychologist discovered some disturbing evidence of alien abduction ever documented. Once you start seeing this movie, the story will keep your attention throughout the end. But at the end, it's depend on the viewer whether believing the story as true or fake, but this movie can make someone confused over the true existence of the story in practical life. Not bad as the rating shows so.
