The UFO genre is one of my favorite genres to kill time when I'm watching a horror movie, The 4th Kind was a pretty hype movie the time it came out, at least in my city, I remember there was a lot of emotion about the trailer and the cover it presented, and how it was part of the sacred genre ''based on real events''. Oddly enough, I didn't see it on opening day, so I can say that by today's standards, it's a great meeh.
It's a combination of fake-documentary with dramatic film scenes; a somewhat interesting mix that manages to build a good narrative (although if you read the story behind the film you're disappointed.) But after that, the film is somewhat boring. It's slow/fast moving, you know? It feels like they're spitting things out but the movie itself doesn't advance, and the climax ends up being mediocre at best. The script is bland, and they always put in the typical UFO movie clichés, so that lost a lot of interest.
The movie is decent, not terrible, but not excellent either, it can entertain a little, and the first minutes of the movie are a bit disturbing, but after that, it loses its seriousness and also its total entertainment.

Different point of view, but still just average.
Interesting and thrilling
This is a rather interesting movie, and it deals with a phenomena that we all are more or less familiar with - alien abductions. Now whether or not you believe in this is entirely up to you, but give this movie a chance, if nothing else then for its entertainment value.
"The Fouth Kind" is a unique mix of documentary and ordinary movie, and it worked out well, though sometimes it was a bit too much with the actual footage, it was disruptive in some odd way.
The story is quite interesting and compelling, and it grabs a hold of you and keeps you nailed down till the very end of the movie. The characters were believable and well portrayed.
There were some pretty nice effects in the movie as well.
Now, the thing about the movie is whether this is real or just a hoax. And even if it just is a hoax, the movie leaves you with unanswered questions and a sense of brooding mysticism.
I found the movie to be thoroughly entertainment and good for some discussion afterwards. So despite of your approach whether aliens and alien abductions are real or not, sit down and watch this movie. It is good.
ABDUCTION PLUS CHARIOTS OF THE GODS
In remote Nome Alaska, a psychologist has discovered her patients may be part of a mass alien abduction. She later realizes that she is also a victim of the same. In order to make the movie seem realistic they juxtaposition "actual tapes" into the movie. The acting is good and the movie seems very realistic. Now for the bogus points(possible plot spoilers): The aliens spoke Sumerian. No one on earth knows what the dead language sounded like. Plus the language had so many variations and dialects ... That whole translation stuff was bogus. 2) The tapes? Let's see, abduction, murder, suicide, missing people...I think those tapes would be locked away in an evidence vault as well as using actual tapes would violate all patient-doctor ethical standards. Third, there are no aliens visiting earth. Fourth, we all know aliens abduct people in Mississippi, not Alaska. If you are interested in the astral-religion of Sumeria and of the Bible, may I suggest "On Earth as it is in Heaven, The Cosmic Roots of the Bible" by Michael Ledo.
Dilmun was actually more advanced than Sumeria and the Akkadians were the real brains behind Sumeria. Most people don't realize those facts, all they know is Sumeria from the 12th Planet nonsense. Apparently they didn't consult a real expert in Sumerian before they made the movie.
If you like reality type movies such as that dog, "Paranormal Activities," this movie may be for you.
