‘The Fourth Kind’ To Hit Theaters This Friday
Written by Ian Cullen on November 2, 2009 – 10:17 pm -
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.
There’s a number of science fiction movies coming out this winter. However there are few movies due out that have some basis in science fact.
A new movie titled The Fourth Kind, which will be released across American theaters on Friday 6, November will likely appeal to many of those who question the existence of extra terrestrial life, and could well create even more questions by offering up perhaps one of the closest encounter’s with alien life that movie goers have ever had.
Over the last 30 – years Hollywood has had a fascination with alien abductions and the subject of alien encounters in general. As movie’s like The Arrival (1996), Signs (2002) and Stephen Spielberg’s 2002 mini series Taken have illustrated.
However. None of those had the use of actual footage of hypnosis sessions with Alien Abductees, which is just one factor in a great many that makes ‘The Fourth Kind’ so compelling as cinema.
The movies trailer uses the four scales of measurement that were devised in 1972 to determine legitimate alien sightings. The first kind is sighting a UFO, the second is evidence that may well point to the existence of alien life. The third is contact with alien life and The Fourth Kind is Abduction, which deals with the many people who have been abducted and happens to be the hardest to prove.
Alien Abductions have been much reported over the years, and continue to be the hardest to document. The Fourth Kind mixes actual footage from a 2000 sleep disorder study, which was conducted in Nome’ Alaska and gives viewers a scary glimpse into an encounter of The Fourth Kind.
The movie puts the subject of Alien Abduction under close scrutiny and is likely to be the Science Fiction genres answer to the recent horror movie Paranormal Activity, which has performed beyond expectations.
The subject of Alien Abduction has long been an intriguing subject for movie makers and documentary films, and has been a constant conversation topic for conspiracy theorist the world over.
The Fourth Kind throws more fuel onto the question of whether alien life exists and will likely have many movie goers asking what is real and what is our own perceived notion of reality.
Much like all the best science fiction out there The Fourth Kind looks set to test the boundaries of human imagination and ask some probing philosophical questions of movie goers who enjoy a more cerebral movie experience.
Where the likes of X – Files, Close Encounters and Taken entertain to some degree. None of those movies have had the benefit of real footage, and real footage is perhaps the biggest selling point of The Fourth Kind, which is best described as a fact based science fiction thriller, which could potentially chill you to the bone with some of the frightening footage on show.
Fans who like a dose of reality thrown in with their science fiction will likely really enjoy this movie, which has a truly unique structure and stellar cast.
Directed by Olatunde Osunsanmi and starring Milla Jovovich this movie has the potential to be go where no other movie has gone before. So make a date for November 6 and experience The Fourth Kind.
