THE FOURTH KIND (D)

Starring: Milla Jovovich

Story: 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. (Universal Pictures)

Rated: PG-13 for violent/disturbing images, some terror, thematic elements and brief sexuality

Bottom Line: This movie has a few joltingly impressive tricks up its sleeve – but it ultimately crumbles under the weight of its own absurdity. THE FOURTH KIND?! No I’d say more like THE TWELTH KIND…of movie I’ve seen like this in the past 2 years that failed to entertain me.
