The Fourth Kind is an alien documentary movie that was claimed to be based on a true occasion.
As fake as it may seems, this movie is actually quite promising, given that they used actual footage of the alien encounters.
What I could not believe was how real the videos are, until I noticed one tiny flaw.
It wasn't really an alien encounter footage, except that one particular footage when one of the policemen was asked to supervise Dr Abigail Tyler at her house.
He saw, what I assumed to be a UFO, but rather in the footage was only a slight beam of bright light shining towards the house.
I was almost convinced, but I kept searching for more evidences as the movie has a merely 40 good minutes left.
The murder-suicide scene was real, because the police managed to record it on tape, on the actual scene. Kudos to that.
The hypnotherapy session between Dr Abigail Tyler and her patients were surreal. One of the best scenes in the movie was when one of her patients, Scott, was put under hypnosis to recover part of his 'alien encounter' memory.
In this scene, Scott levitated, and it was recorded in the actual footage. If you're confused, this movie has two parts, the acting part and the actual footage. The reason for it being done so is because they only have several footage, and the movie was made to make it more interesting. So don't mind the split viewing while watching this. It was intended like that.
Anyway, I was quite impressed with the overall storyline, since it was based on true story.
I have to decline though, that this movie is about alien abduction because it seems ridiculous. If you watch the scene where Dr Abigail put herself under hypnosis (by her good friend Dr Abel), you'll know exactly what I meant. (If that)
When she was under hypnosis, her eyes went totally whiteout, as if it were blank. She also levitated, and her voice changed.
If I didn't know any better, I would say she was possessed. Not by aliens of course. I was more than convinced that she was possessed, when the 'alien' inside her body said
"I am..... GOD."
That was translated from the actual footage of her while under hypno, in an ancient Sumerian Language, the oldest language of the world.
If that's not enough to convince me, she also said this
"I don't think it was God, because when 'he' was inside me, it was filled with hopelessness. It could be God, or at least pretending to be."
Okay no one in the right mind would be convinced by the statement that THAT was an alien possession.
Now possessed by demon? I'm convinced, because it COULD happen.
I truly recommend watching this movie if you really are sceptical about aliens and its existence.
This however, the BEST alien documentary I've ever seen.
And I wasn't even distracted by Milla Jovovich, who played Dr Abigail Tyler.
My Rating: 9/10
Katherine Heigl started off as the desperate, needy and lonely TV show producer who always screwed up her dates.
Imagine Courtney Cox from Friends, and Catherine Zeta-Jones from No Reservations and you'll get an uptight, control freak like Heigl in this movie.
She were taught to handle guys when she met Gerard Butler, a TV host of The Ugly Truth. Butler played a very sarcastic, sinister role in this movie who eventually fell for Heigl. (I told you it contained spoiler!)
Okay now my review.
I thought that this movie is the funniest since Knocked Up and Zach and Miri Makes a Porno! I was laughing my heart out! It was seriously brilliant!
And I bet Heigl bagged a lot of money from this movie since she's also one of the producers for this movie, with her sister! I think.
The next best thing in this movie was Heigl's boobies and Butler's sexy European voice.
Butler did a great job impersonating an American in this movie, but I could tell that he still can't get rid of his manly and ruggedly Scottish accent.
Unfortunately for girls, you can't see Butler's naked chiseled body here. So don't get high hopes!
As for the guys, good news! You will not see Heigl's naked body, BUT.....
The camera focused on her boobs most of the time! There was this one scene where Kathy bend down to wear a vibrating brief, her boobies were on the loose! Seriously I was looking at it all the time!
The storyline of the movie was perfectly combined and organized so you won't be having any trouble following through. But they totally ruined the punchline!
