I believe there is life “out there”, but I don’t believe in alien abductions. Why? Because I don’t see the point in aliens abducting thousands upon thousands of human beings to test. And, er, anal probe. But hey, maybe the new Milla Jovovich sci-fi thriller “The Fourth Kind” will change my mind.
Here’s Universal’s press release for the movie, which I must admit, I had never even heard of until I ran across the trailer for the movie:
1n 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.
Structured unlike any film before it, The Fourth Kind is a provocative thriller set in modern-day Nome, Alaska, where—mysteriously since the 1960s—a disproportionate number of the population has been reported missing every year. Despite multiple FBI investigations of the region, the truth has never been discovered.
Here in this remote region, psychologist Dr. Abigail Tyler (Milla Jovovich) began videotaping sessions with traumatized patients and unwittingly discovered some of the most disturbing evidence of alien abduction ever documented.
Using never-before-seen archival footage that is integrated into the film, The Fourth Kind exposes the terrified revelations of multiple witnesses. Their accounts of being visited by alien figures all share disturbingly identical details, the validity of which is investigated throughout the film.
Sounds like a winner if you’re into this sort of thing. Then again, I’m sure there are plenty of holes you could poke in the movie’s “facts”, though I have to admit, the trailer is really intense and creepy.
