You’ve seen those fake documentaries before. Think Blair Witch Project and Paranormal Activity, where the filmmakers try to convince us that the movie is inspired or based on true events. In case you didn’t already know, this is not true. The stories you see are fabricated for the purpose of selling movies.Bearing that in mind you won’t be surprised to hear that The Fourth Kind, about supposed alien abductions in small-town Alaska, is also not true despite constant attempts throughout the film to convince us otherwise. What is the gimmick in the film quickly becomes its downfall. By constantly flashing “Actual Audio” and “Real Footage” across the screen, it becomes increasingly difficult to even entertain the idea that the story could be true. If they had just let us indulge our imaginations it might have worked. Sadly it’s just a mess of special effects.
Rating: 2 outta 5.
