The Fourth Kind-2009<\/strong><\/p>\n

Scott’s Review #583<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Reviewed January 4, 2017<\/p>\n

Grade: B-<\/strong><\/p>\n

I went into the theater to see The Fourth Kind (2009) not expecting a classic, but rather, a few frights, chills, and something compelling. I ended up completely entertained and believing it was a good movie.<\/p>\n

However, after the credits rolled, I was left with an unsatisfying and misrepresented feeling.<\/p>\n

The premise of the film is admittedly a bit trite. An Alaskan female psychiatrist, Dr. Abigail Tyler (Milla Jovovich) videotapes her therapy sessions with patients and discovers some sort of alien has possibly abducted them.<\/p>\n

Yes, this sounds crazy, but the film is well-made and rather believable.<\/p>\n

The look of the film is similar to the Paranormal Activity films, a craze that was happening when the film was released in 2009.<\/p>\n

The documentary look and the interviews with the actors will be looked back on as “of its time”, to be sure.<\/p>\n

The style and interspersing of “real” events with fictitious events were interesting. However, I was disappointed when I read that the supposed “real” events were entirely made up, a fact the movie never admits, and, in fact, time and time again reminds the audience are real events.<\/p>\n

I enjoyed the movie but felt duped afterward, rendering The Fourth Kind (2009) trivial and forgettable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
