Review of The Fourth Kind. What about the fifth kind, when they touch you in places....
The Fourth Kind is both a reenactment and recollection of video tapes and audio files of the "extra terrestrial" events that happened in Nome, Alaska in the year 2000. It starts with the actress Milla Jovocvich walking up to a camera and explaining what you will be seeing for the next two hours or so. She says that the reenactments are based actual case studies including voice recordings and memos and video taped recordings. The results are phenomenal. The way the dramatized version of the film and the actual studies are mixed in together is perfectly executed. It is a bit disturbing at times but that's what makes it so good. Sure, watching people go crazy is good enough on it's own but adding in that extra push makes it even more worth seeing. The acting is decent, the performances are humble and realistic which also makes for a better experience.The Verdict:The Fourth Kind is a great movie and is very entertaining but I didn't leave the theater with a changed mind about alien encounters. Really, this movie is more of a tense thriller with real footage to make it more real. And I'm willing to settle with that. I give it five screaming Sumerians out of five. 5/5.
