Semi-arsed review not needed here. It's a film which documents the happenings of apparently true events in Nome, Alaska, where aliens or something attacked people while speaking Sumerian.
Film takes an age to get going, and relies (or if feels it has to rely) on real footage too often, for me.
All in all, a hash of a film. Milla Jovovich speaks to softly and mmms and arrrs far too often as well!
That's it.
4/10

Good. It is unfortunate for the film that it comes out days before hyped up film of the year, Paranormal Activity.

Hadn't heard of Paranormal Activity till yesterday as it happens, but I was made aware that everyone is talking about it. "All the rage on facebook" I was told.
I never believe trailers that show audiences being popcorn-spillingly shocked as they watch it. Always have them down as dumb Americans who call each other douchebags. But yes, I'll be seeing it! |

Thats the trouble, could be a perfectly good film, now hyped out of the range of respectability. You can't say you don't like it, as you'll be just 'being awkward', whilst liking it puts you amongst the 'facebook' generation.
I still loved Blair Witch though and will watch this with the same attitude, if not the same amount of hair on my head |

I'll probably have to give Paranormal Activity the cop-out score of 7/10 then. ;)
There's been a horror film overload recently as you'd expect, which doesn't help me where Paranormal Activity is concerned. I like seeing a horror film when my "horror quota" is running low. This will be like trying to manage the sixth Ferrero Rocher. |

Fourth Kind: 7/10 as film encounters go, close - but no cigar-shaped object.

Not based on true events actually
The film's trailer states that the story is based on "actual case studies," but did not specify any cases. As a result, much speculation has arisen regarding the search for documented evidence from the actual cases and whether Dr. Abigail Tyler is a real person or a fictional character for use in an internet viral marketing campaign On September 1, 2009, an investigation by the Anchorage Daily News examined the validity of the film's premise, and its relation to actual disappearances that have occurred in and around the town of Nome. The investigation found no specific events to back up the claims in the film and also revealed that unsolved deaths in Nome are no more frequent than any other small Alaskan town. The consensus is that the high rate of alcoholism combined with the harsh landscape surrounding Nome accounts for a majority of disappearances (just as in other remote areas) On November 12, 2009 Universal Pictures agreed to a $20,000 settlement with the Alaska Press Club "to settle complaints about fake news archives used to promote the movie." Universal acknowledged that they created fake online news articles and obituaries to make it appear that the movie had a basis in real events. |

Will be watching that fourth kind. Not expecting too much though, doubt it will be anywhere as good as that district 13 (which was superb imo).
Paranormal was quite good, found it best to watch at home in bed alone. [rec] was a bit crap imo. |

Paranormal Activity sucked...don't believe the hype.
