Synopsis
In 1972, a scale of measurement was established for alien encounters. When a UFO is sighted, it is called an encounter of the first kind. When evidence is collected, it is known as an encounter of the second kind. When contact is made with extraterrestrials, it is the third kind. The next level, abduction, is the fourth kind. This encounter has been the most difficult to document...until now. Structured unlike any film before it, "The Fourth Kind" is a provocative thriller set in modern-day Nome, Alaska, where-mysteriously since the 1960s-a disproportionate number of the population has been reported missing every year. Despite multiple FBI investigations of the region, the truth has never been discovered. Here in this remote region, psychologist Dr. Abigail Tyler began videotaping sessions with traumatized patients and unwittingly discovered some of the most disturbing evidence of alien abduction ever documented. Using never-before-seen archival footage that is integrated into the film, The Fourth Kind exposes the terrified revelations of multiple witnesses. Their accounts of being visited by alien figures all share disturbingly identical details, the validity of which is investigated throughout the film.

We just returned from seeing this. IMO the movie leaves one with more questions than answers. It doesn't go into any detail about the abductions, doesn't give a description of the abductors or what takes place during the abductions. I was surprised to see the references to the Anunnaki and ancient Sumerian text and how it relates to what is going on. IMO the movie was made to be more of a horror flick than informative. To me it was more disturbing than scary. Even though I was a little disappointed, I would still give this film four of five stars. I wouldn't mind seeing it again as I usually pick up on things I missed during the first viewing. It would have been nice to have seen more information about the Anunnaki's relationship to all of this and details of the abductions. Anyone else seen this yet? If so, what's your take on it?
Blessings,
