Sorry Courtney and Steph...
In alien-talk, the "First Kind" refers to a UFO sighting, a "Second Kind" refers to an incident in which evidence is collected. "Third Kind" is an actual encounter while "Fourth Kind" is the worst-case scenario: an abduction.
Shitloads of vampire and alien movies have been released (out of nowhere) as of late, but in terms of motion pictures, the aliens sure are the more artistic and original. With District 9's release several weeks ago (decent picture, but extremely original- I mean, never during this movie about aliens, a redundant movie theme, do you say "Seen that before"), alien movies sure are becoming more entertaining.
Continuing on my point about originality and entertainment value, the trailer for The Fourth Kind was released this week.
Now, get this. The movie is not a documentary, it is not really a reenactment of a documentary, but is fully a narrative. BUT... the premise of the movie is to reenact actual (see: real) footage of interviews of people who were supposedly abducted by aliens and, well, without giving away the farm, the consequences of such.
Not since Fire in the Sky have I been so excited about an alien abduction movie.
Apologies to Courtney who is completely freaked out of aliens and Steph who I know has had it with alien conspiracy theories in the government.
