- Laminarcissus, on 11/05/2009, -1/+821) >>>The Fourth Kind bills itself as containing "actual footage" from case histories.
They are paid to lie.
2) >>>But this footage is so poorly faked that it insults the audience's intelligence.
The "intelligent audience" just payed $10 dollars to see the film after watching the same trailers I did, so I dispute your initial premise.
3) >>>So why are people still calling this movie scary?
See item 1.
4) >>>Spoilers ahead.
Can't spoil a film I'm never going to see. - Apokalyps2547, on 11/05/2009, -0/+57It's the new Blair Witch. Just like telling ghost stories by a campfire, you need to preface it by saying "This is all totally true. Totally."
- Mujokan, on 11/05/2009, -0/+48If you thought this had any chance of NOT being fake, you didn't have much intelligence to insult.
- generalalcazar, on 11/05/2009, -2/+48I was kind of hoping that the existence of the movie was a hoax.
- KayinAngel, on 11/05/2009, -0/+33its fake ? holy crap, next you'll tell me Blair Witch never actually happened, REC was just a fictional movie, and Cloverfield didn't destroy new york.
- catalyst2590, on 11/05/2009, -2/+31looks like it would be the same as paranormal activity but about aliens, btw that video got over hyped and it sucked pretty bad
- hulashakes, on 11/05/2009, -1/+29I hate you Milla Jovovich. Ah, who am I kidding. You're too hot to stay mad at.
- twiztidsinz, on 11/05/2009, -1/+26CLOVERFIELD DID 9/11!!!!!
OUTSIDE JOB!! OUTSIDE JOB!! - Hetman, on 11/05/2009, -0/+24I have a disease that requires me to watch ***** movies. It will eventually be on my netflix que.
- Krawkun, on 11/05/2009, -0/+23Here's my beef with this, when the Blair Witch came out, they never outright said "based on real footage" or anything similar to that, it was just presented in a sort of viral way that made people assume it was real, which is fine whether or not you like the movie. It's your own stupid fault if you thought any of it was real or even based in reality.
Fourth Kind on the other hand right in their commercials says "based on actual footage" which is an outright LIE according to this article. That is NOT fine whether or not the movie is cool, that is false advertising, and total BS. - diggopolous, on 11/05/2009, -0/+22Blair Witch rocked! It was the scariest collection of bundles of sticks, collections of stones and palm prints I have ever seen!
- Twohooves, on 11/05/2009, -0/+20NEWS FLASH: FICTIONAL MOVIES ARE MADE UP. FILM AT 11.
- Gigglecream, on 11/05/2009, -2/+20Can you believe the ***** 'Paranormal Activity' + ' Men Who Stare At Goats' sponsored links? It's as tasteless and forced a the World Series-meets-Avatar intro.
- lornefs, on 11/05/2009, -2/+19Hmmm, did you really think you were going to see actual footage?
You do know there is no such thing as alien abduction or paranormal activity right? - Mankind121, on 11/05/2009, -1/+17If anyone saw the trailer and thought that the movie would be good and/or scary they just happen to be an idiot.
- diggerado, on 11/05/2009, -0/+16Look, if the first alien we meet off the landing pod is a cat that says "OH HAI!", you can't tell me that wouldn't be awesome!
- morcheeba, on 11/05/2009, -0/+15The arecibo message assumes only the knowledge of physical constants and math; if it assumed aliens were like humans, it could use a lot of assumptions (like 10 fingers, or a measuring system scaled to our body size) and it would be easier to decipher.
- TwwIX, on 11/05/2009, -1/+15That's what they want you to think.
The Government!
Potato Salad! - TalahRama, on 11/05/2009, -1/+14Que? Señor?
- lead2thehead, on 11/05/2009, -0/+13There was a tooth in it too. That's super hardcore.
- eihwaz, on 11/05/2009, -1/+14don't do it again! ever!
- ThsGuyRightHere, on 11/05/2009, -4/+16Glad I read this review... this movie just got bumped down to "renter" status.
- protogenxl, on 11/05/2009, -0/+11I remeber a time when there were only 3 kinds of close encounters, the third one being "Richard Dreyfuss gets on the Ship."
- FormerBabby, on 11/05/2009, -1/+12BOO!
Are you scared? - Hetman, on 11/05/2009, -2/+13Seriously though this happened to a friend of my cousins. He was totally abducted.
- diggerado, on 11/05/2009, -0/+10Yeah that whole xenu thing with the volcanoes? Totally real!
- lornefs, on 11/05/2009, -1/+11She's the only reason I would watch this crap, on second thought I'll just watch the 5th Element again..
I hate movies that promote the ignorance of the public. - diggerado, on 11/05/2009, -0/+9Ow. Your logic is quite pointy... Pointed... uh... Sharp!
And this "Can't spoil a film I'm never going to see" made me laugh. - Corona85, on 11/05/2009, -0/+9You guys, Transformers is a hoax. It contains actual footage of robots in disguise as real life vehicles. But when i kicked, yelled at, and threatened my car to stop acting like it didn't hear me, it never responded.
- evilregis, on 11/05/2009, -0/+9I pooped a little.
- FearlessFreep, on 11/05/2009, -1/+10I reflexively just bury the third story down on the front page
- lolwatermelon, on 11/05/2009, -1/+9When a child is born, it knows what a human face should look like, and pays attention to that shape. If you hold up a piece of paper with two black circles on it where human eyes would be, the newborn will look at it longer than it would look at a piece of paper with black circles in a different location. We find faces where there are none. It's just built in.
Look up "sleep paralysis" and you'll find the origin of most abduction and ghost/vampire/demon stories. - lesbianlasergun, on 11/05/2009, -2/+10its called viral marketing guys, ...blair witch did the same thing
im just shocked this article actually happened. this guy actually thought he was paying 10 bucks to see actual "irrefutable" alien abduction footage? - photochopped, on 11/05/2009, -0/+8Damn, and here I thought the definitive proof of alien existence would come in a movie staring Milla Jovovich. And just when I reopened my heart after Resident Evil/fake zombie scandal!
- octowussy, on 11/05/2009, -6/+14"Paranormal Activity" pulled pretty much the same crap, and most of you dummies loved that stupid movie.
- lolwatermelon, on 11/05/2009, -1/+9No. Paranormal Activity was liquid ***** in a dixie cup. It was easily the worst movie I've ever seen, and I watched The Room.
- KnightMareInc, on 11/05/2009, -0/+7oh im sorry, i thought it was a movie
- AmazingSteve, on 11/05/2009, -1/+8Paranormal Activity sucked ass. Just the studios looking for the next "Blair Witch" phenomenon. Lightning doesn't strike twice. The studios are never going to learn this.
- jprez, on 11/05/2009, -1/+8Paranormal Activity is obviously fake too... but people still thought that was scary.
- inactive, on 11/05/2009, -0/+7My friend's dad told us how he slept in an old historic hotel room and ended up having a threesome with two ghost women, why can't they make that story into a movie?
- TheVirus, on 11/05/2009, -2/+9People actually thought the "actual footage" was real and needed to investigate it? I'm not sure what's worse, the movie studio lying about it or someone believing it enough to try and validate it.
- Alli3388, on 11/05/2009, -0/+7I don't think people assume any of that.
- Mazrin, on 11/05/2009, -1/+7Paranormal never claimed it was real, I think. It was done in the same Blair witch-esque "well maybe this is real" kind of way, but that's just for atmosphere. I don't know anything about this 4th kind thing, though. Apparently they really tried to make the claim, and it just came off tacky instead of as good atmosphere.
But the nerd rage over this stuff is a little excessive. They did a bad job at making it viral and creepy, i doubt it was a conspiracy to make dumb people actually believe it was real.
Relax, folks, the world is not agianst you. - Mujokan, on 11/05/2009, -1/+7We can only really judge from our own case, which is a pretty low sample size. If you get a planet like ours, then I would say life is not so unlikely. Getting to a planet like ours is harder -- we had some weird coincidences in our development, like the impact that formed the moon. Getting to consciousness is worse -- that was a really slim path, and we came pretty close to extinction before we made it out of Africa.
Life could take all kinds of forms, but I think CONSCIOUS life is going to be something similar to us in terms of its habitat and history -- because of the level of flexible, ordered complexity that's necessary. But replicating that habitat and history is really unlikely in my view.
Maybe there's a few in this galaxy, maybe not. In any case I'm not going to be out there looking for UFOs. - belthize, on 11/05/2009, -1/+7I hate Blair Witch mostly because an entire generation of directors now think shaking the damn camera all over the place is an effective way to convey 'something'. Mostly it's bloody annoying.
But the SOB on a gimbaled mount and quit screwing with it. - monkeyrun, on 11/05/2009, -0/+5I am pretty sure there's a movie about that somewhere....
You just need to know which section to look. - DarthVolta, on 11/05/2009, -0/+5Um, obviously.
Also, I hate ***** like the ads saying that people reported alien abductions occurring at 3:33 AM. If there are aliens, I'm pretty sure they're not going to have the same time system (much less the same numbering system) as us, so it's pretty ***** unlikely that they're going to choose 3:33 AM because that's not going to mean anything to them at all. - neutron7, on 11/05/2009, -2/+7Thats because it is a remake of an old twilight zone episode.
- SolitaireRose, on 11/05/2009, -2/+7The NWO?
What do Hulk Hogan, Keven Nash and Scott Hall have to do with anything? -
