After leaving the theater from watching the release of the movie “ The Fourth Kind” I discussed the movie with other viewers. Most everyone agreed that the movie left them with the impression that maybe alien abductions are real. However, many of the viewers were skeptical about the authenticity of the audios and videos that were presented as facts by the producers. Lets face the facts, it was a movie made to entertain the audience.

Without going into to much detail, the main character of this film, Dr. Abigail Tyler, played by Milla Jovovich, is a trained psychotherapist. Her husband had recently died, and she wanted to carry on his work that dealt with sleep disorders. Supposedly, after hypnotizing her clients, It came to her attention that they all were experienced the same events of wakening up in the middle of the night to see a white owl. When she tried to get them to face the realities of the event, her clients went berserk. One man even killing his whole family which is shown in the film. Eventually, she begins to experienced the same disorder, which leads to her daughter disappearing. She claims her young daughter was abducted by aliens. The aliens taking her daughter through the ceiling of her home. The girl has not been found to this day. Through out the movie the film splits at times showing supposedly actual audio and footage along side the dramatization. This method gives it a news event atmosphere. The movie dose have its dull moments, but it is mixed with very intense chills.

Once I got past all the hype and distortions that the writers and producers had injected into the movie for our entertainment purposes, I decided to rate this movie, with what I would like to call, the Lizzie Borden effect. If the audios and videos were indeed real, then the evidence supports the facts that something very disturbing and chilling had been having an affect on some of the residents of Nome Alaska in the year 2000. However, as is always the case, there was no physical evidence of the aliens, or footage of the aliens. Like the Lizzie Borden murder trial, all the evidence appears to be circumstantial when it comes down to actual proving of the alien abductions idea. It is left to you to decide the verdict

As for me, I always leave my mind open to that possibility of alien abductions, but I will not let myself be convinced by a movie, that is created for entertainment, to be my evidence of that possibility. By all means watch the movie and decide for yourself.
