...drink hot, sticky garbage truck juice than sit through this movie again. Take the bland, weak performance of Milla; add to it a rancid layer of thin "plot;" mix in unpalatable gimmicks such as the split-screen "archival footage" (The supposed archival footage is so full of hams that you could feed a church congregation on Easter!) vs. "real footage," and top it off with a moistening pile of cheese and you get "The Fourth Kind." Movies like this that continue to seep out of the film industry are why classics such as "Close Encounters" sit atop, unchallenged.

It's such a shame that we can't get a movie about UFOs/aliens/abductions that faithfully represents this fascinating phenomenon. For those looking to be "just entertained" by UFOs and aliens, just move along as this is light-years away from anything resembling entertainment. Scary? No. Fun? No. Suspenseful? Yeah! I was writhing in anticipation for it to end!

It's very rare that I regret watching a film but unfortunately this was one of those times. Ah well, as mistakes go I guess I only wasted an hour and a half or so of my life (though it felt like a lot more) and tomorrow is another day.

You're entitled to your opinion. I didn't think it was that bad. I could look at Milla Jovovich all day.
