Contatos de 4º Grau

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.

This is a rather interesting movie, and it deals with a phenomena that we all are more or less familiar with - alien abductions. Now whether or not you believe in this is entirely up to you, but give this movie a chance, if nothing else then for its entertainment value.

"The Fouth Kind" is a unique mix of documentary and ordinary movie, and it worked out well, though sometimes it was a bit too much with the actual footage, it was disruptive in some odd way.

The story is quite interesting and compelling, and it grabs a hold of you and keeps you nailed down till the very end of the movie. The characters were believable and well portrayed.

There were some pretty nice effects in the movie as well.

Now, the thing about the movie is whether this is real or just a hoax. And even if it just is a hoax, the movie leaves you with unanswered questions and a sense of brooding mysticism.

I found the movie to be thoroughly entertainment and good for some discussion afterwards. So despite of your approach whether aliens and alien abductions are real or not, sit down and watch this movie. It is good.

I just saw a screening of this movie last night. I didn't know a thing about it when I sat down. By the end of the movie I was sitting in my seat and staring at the screen with hollow eyes.

I looked at my girlfriend and our faces said: "No way... but... no, couldn't be... good god!"

The use of real vs. recreated footage gets you. The sounds in the real footage and recordings will REALLY get you.

Do yourself a favor and don't research the film before you go in. This is a movie that needs to be taken in with a blank and open mind to be appreciated.

I am believer of extra terrestrials but even I had to believe in this movie with a pinch of salt. There are parts in this movie which would make you jump out of your seat and the rest of the time, you are glued on to the screen. What do I say about Milla Jonovich? She has absolutely NAILED the performance. One might say she is equally good in this movie as she was in 'Faces In The Crowd'. Getting back to the movie, it makes you wonder, makes you wanna believe and makes them debunkers wanna laugh at it. With me, it made me wanna look stuff up online. I wish I could say what but that might qualify my review as a spoiler. Regardless of whether this movie was based on true events or not, its an absolute thriller and definitely qualifies as a 'must watch', especially for those who like Thriller and Sci-Fi genres of movies. I would have given this movie a 10 but the reason I didn't is something you would understand when you see it.

The Fourth Kind is a creative, highly terrifying film. I'm not sure what I expected going into this film but it was something completely different. But combining supposedly real archive footage(that actually looks real for once), an intro and outro by the films star and director and a dramatization of the events that occurred is ingenious and realistically effective. The films tells the supposedly true story of a psychiatrist in the small town of Nome, Alaska who decides to finish her husband's work after his murder on sleep studies. What she finds is a common disturbance amongst most of the towns people of seeing an owl looking over them while they sleep. As the film progresses along and truly disturbing events take place we discover with them that their may be something more going on. Something to do with alien abduction. A subject that has always left me feeling uneasy especially after seeing Fire in the Sky when I was younger. The film's subject matter is carefully handled in a really creative way so that it feels genuine and all too real. The film is at times an absolute nightmare to watch. Glimpses of terrifying footage both dramatized and real footage shown really make for a one of a kind mind blowing experience. I was actually tearing a little I was so frightened. But the film's far from flawless it does seem to be long in a few spots and the performances are uneven especially from Jovovich although she gives it her job and does alright. The film is beautifully shot and evokes a surreal experience. There is once scenes where we just follow an owl staring at us as it's head spins all the way around. It's truly unsettling and this film is a new experience all together. whether you love or hate it, it's something that has never been done before.
