Is “The Fourth Kind” real? Is the documentary footage shown in the film real or staged? In the wake of “Paranormal Activity,” is reality horror the new craze?
The new thriller “The Fourth Kind,” which opens with star Milla Jovovich speaking directly to the audience about the movie’s authenticity, has raised some suspicions about the credibility of its claims and supposedly “real” footage. While the jury’s still out 100 percent, it’s safe to assume that the footage used and the alien abduction story upon which the film is based are a total crock. Simply put, it’s fake.
In 2006, the Anchorage Daily News did a story on the disappearances in Nome, Alaska (the town in which the film takes place) and provided the FBI’s conclusions about them. What were those conclusions? That the winter climate and alcoholism were to blame for the disappearances of 24 people over 40 years.
Additionally, All Business‘ article on the matter states that there isn’t even any evidence to support the movie’s main character ever existed at all. The movie uses what it terms “aliases” throughout.
To further propagate the film’s cheap reliance on its dishonest tactic, Universal has released a featurette with “paranormal researcher” Marie D. Jones (embedded below), asserting that the footage used displays genuine signs of alien abductions. Sure, but that’s because that information is only available inside the brains of paranormal researchers! It’s not something that could be found independent of their guidance and replicated in a film.
With films like this and “Paranormal Activity” being widely distributed, the horror pseudo-documentaries might very well become fashionable (or, at least, profitable) again. Let’s hope there’s a change of pace and the next ones to assuredly come out are substantially more convincing.
Is this woman even TRYING to sound credible? If so, she’s failing miserably.
Ha ha ha! Apparently, she is…
I see 11:11 at least twice a day! Uncanny!!!!
Is the footage of Tommy shooting his family real?
I want to add a scene to the start of Back to the Future where Christopher Lloyd comes out and says that the following story is based on actual events, I wonder how many people would believe it.
its real it happens
truth is many people can’t and won’t think about the possibilities of alien contact being true. i mean if everything was staged in that film then at the end they would have said so like at the ending of paranormal activity. Paramount abruptly said that all characters in the film are fictitious. everyone keeps saying its not real and blah blah blah when they clearly put the evidence in your face. this is the reason why the director said at the end of the film for you to believe in what you’ve seen is entirely up to you cause people go straight into denial so fucking easily
Osunsamni said to make up our minds about whether or not the case involved alien abduction, not whether or not the case itself actually existed. That’s the discrepancy that seems to be going over everyone’s heads, I’m afraid.
And Xavier, I think plenty of people would buy it, unfortunately.
watch the exorcist see the girl aparently levitae then thrash around on the bed it the same techneique was used on the film and blury scrambled video used to hide it duh
Phil - I very much liked your review of the movie and am of the same frame of mind that it is insulting to the audience to think we would believe the footage is true. Just because it looks real doesn’t mean it is, I mean all the creatures in lord of the rings looked like they could be real yet obviously they aren’t. I mean come on let’s all just agree that the problem was alien abductions because a movie starring Milla Jovovic said so, its ridiculous.
If there is any validity to this story at all (which I doubt) no one has created a more sucessful coverup for alien abduction than the combined terrible efforts of the director, editor, and director of photography. If I were aliens abducting fools in Alaska I would be so excited right now because the total F grade quality of this film. While the tales of abduction could have been nightmarish bedtime stories passes around for years, they have instead been splattered carelessly across movie screens in a nationwide release. The worst film I have seen all year. Aliens, your secret is safe with Hollywood. I’ll bet the government wishes they just pumped out a steaming celluloid of Fourth Kind proportion back in the 50’s and maybe there wouldn’t be conspiracy theorists clinging to a god forsaken stretch of highway in Roswell, New Mexico. You know how I can tell the “documentary” footage is fake. The director’s name is bigger than ‘Abigail Tyler’ on the pretentious three panel spread behind their interview. Congratulations director, whose name I’m not even going to try and spell, you’ve proven yourself as a terrible documentarian, screenwriter, and director in one fell swoop. Why don’t you head back to Chapman University and learn how to put your camera on a tripod so I can look at your ridiculously unmotivated closeups without dramamine. I wish it didn’t cost me ten dollars to see you fail at filmmaking.
If anyone thinks the ‘actual footage’ is actual footage, they should watch the movie again and pay attention. They actually used some of the SAME props to film scenes in the “actual footage” and scenes of movie footage. And they’d use those same props in different locations. For example in the ‘actual footage’ they would use a lamp in Dr. Tyler’s office, then they would use that same lamp in the movie footage when one of patients is in his bed at his home and he’s floating above the bed…
The ‘real’ Abigail Tyler is an actress. I’ve definitely seen her in movies before. AND she wasn’t even convincing in trying to be the real doctor. Unless they are super amazing, you can tell when someone is acting, and you could tell throughout the WHOLE movie that the lady was acting. They also put so much ghastly make up on her, it made her even less believable - no real person looks like that, even an anorexic and crazy one.
Having said that, I still think the movie was very entertaining and worth the money.
I have searched the internet numerous times to see the truth of the story and everytime i come up with the FBI saying the missing people were caused by “alcohol and cold weather”. What i dont get is why would that have just effected those people in that time period, i’m sure they have been drinking booz and living in cold weather way before that stuff happened. Of course the FBI is going to cover up alien abduction! People act like the FBI have not covered up stories before. Also the Christopher Loyd comment, seriously? Of course this movie isn’t real, its based off of real events you dumb ass.
All I can say to either of the parties (real vs fake) is get some empirical evidence to support your claims instead of your opinions.
“They actually used some of the SAME props to film scenes in the “actual footage” and scenes of movie footage.” - Anya
Oh wow, cause making a home seem very much like another one is just outrageous! If you honestly believe in what you said in that quotation.. woah.
“The ‘real’ Abigail Tyler is an actress. I’ve definitely seen her in movies before. AND she wasn’t even convincing in trying to be the real doctor.” - Anya
Oh really? You’re so sure that you’ve seen this woman before yet you can’t come up with any names of characters, movies, anything? Guys… seriously.
“The director’s name is bigger than ‘Abigail Tyler’ on the pretentious three panel spread behind their interview.” - echofoxtrot
Seems like solid evidence to form a concrete conclusion on about this film. Good job sir.
Anyways I could probably quote a good 90% of these comments and point out how ridiculous the people are for saying it. All I want is before people decide to speak in a public setting and actually want to be taken seriously.. get some evidence. I don’t care if it’s “proof” I just want concrete, empirical evidence.
I don’t believe if the footage in the movie is real or fake, there is a chance of either, however, I did find it somewhat disturbing and did find that I got my moneys worth.
I believe…I belllLLIIIEEEEEEEEVEEEE…
This movie isn’t based on real events, dumb ass! It is based on psychological and mythological recollections which are sketchy, at best. Get a life…
if you guys don’t thinmk ufo’s and alien civilizations are real then can someone explain to me why the french,german,mexican, and other governments that i can’t think off the top of my head have released all of their files on ufo’s and aliens? why is it that there are millions of abduction reports all over the world? why is the US the only government not releasing their files? nay-sayers hardly ever have answers for these questions lol
the one factor for me that determines it’s credibility is the ancient language spoken in which we know very little of, they say about 5 people in the world know this language but it’s still limited, how the fuck would they have staged that?!?!?!?!??!!? we don’t even know the language and proffesors that have researched it say it is authentic! shut the fuck up you skeptical blind cunts!
I thought the movie was slanderous. It completely defames what I and many others believe to be a true phenomenon. I would have loved it had they never tried to make us think that the whole thing was real. Most of it was plagiarized from Whitley Streiber’s 1980s book Communion, from the screen memories of seeing owls, down to the aliens smelling like cinnamon. And it was offensive that after two hours of such *obviously fake* footage being pushed so hard as “true,” the director smugly comes out and tells us that he’s going to play devil’s advocate and let us choose if we thought any of it was real. That’s like a magician telling you after the show that he MIGHT actually REALLY be magical. What a pathetic attempt at controversy.
haha Anon, you are a dubmass. If you actually read my comment, you will see that when i’m talking about the lamp - they use the same lamp in two DIFFERENT locations. I would understand if the used similar props to recreate actual footage to make it most realistic. But wait..they didn’t have any actual footage!!! So, they had to FILM both types of scenes for this movie, and used some of the same props in different houses/offices. Clearly, they filmed this “actual footage”, and if you think there’s even a chance of it being real, you really need a new perspective on things…
And, in a few weeks, when someone has finally come out with the name of the actress who plalyed the “real Abigail Tyler”, you will feel like an idiot because I told you so…
Whenever there is a person playing themselves in a movie, in the credits, it will say “Abigal Tyler as herself”…. they didn’t have her name at all in the credits except for “Abigail Tyler played by Milla Jovovich”
And I also got my money’s worth and enjoyed the movie very much. Except I know the difference between filmed scenes and actual documented footage, which this movie had none of.
@ youguysarehaters, of course alcohol and a harsh environment can cause dissapearences as the difficult environment makes it difficult to locate the bodies of those under the influence who have succumb to its effects. Also the Back to the Future comment is an analogy to show that its just as likely to have happened as this movie.
@Anya
I was going to read your response until I re-read your opening sentence.
“haha Anon, you are a dubmass.”
No one is going to take you seriously in life. Ever. Based on that sentence I quoted, I no longer need to examine what you say.
left over crack… all i hear is wah wah wah. you clearly need to have some anger issue resolved before you publically post your opinions
why are people on the internet always so angry…
ok, lets not argue about things we cannot substantiate. The truth is that alien sightings and abduction reports having been having since the earliest recorded times. People have been recording them by all means necessary. Governments and other people have at the same time been putting out false reports and weather balloons and shit just so they can lop any real alien events in with the fake ones.
Is the footage real? Is the movie based on real events? Who knows. But consider this, of the hundreds of billions of star systems with hundreds of billions of stars there must be at least hundreds of thousands with the potential for life, of which thousands probably contain life, possibly intelligent life. It is highly plausible that other intelligent beings like ourselves will have the notion to venture out and study or make contact with other life forms.
So it definitely could happen and probably has already. The numbers are not important but hey man there no way to deny the possibilities.
Because they can hide sitting in their chair, behind a computer. And because they aren’t saying it to someone’s face.
A lot of you people are in denile for you not to even take in someone else’s opinion regardless if it is true or false is not very smart. The movie was meant to get you thinking and for some who is already in the field of disclosing Phenomena this movie actually backs up what has been said in the past. For those that think living in a world which everything that is being done that you cannot see for yourself is something good and not harmful needs to wake up and get Informed. Some of you that actually type without hard information and pure opinion really need to keep your fingers off the Keyboard until you actually have information backing up what you say only thing it cause is an argument and everyone gets off topic. Furthermore if you guys remember the scene where the the daughter got abducted and they circled at the top right of your screen THIS WAS ACTUAL FOOTAGE RELEASED FROM THE F.B.I. back in 2000. My “proof” is the history channel way back then when they did a show on UFO phenomena.
Aww I’m sorry Anon. Guess you had nothing to say b/c you know I’m right. And you had to re-read my opening sentence? I guess you really are dumb!! So cute.
I don’t deny the existence of alien life, but this movie was freaking lame. Even if it is actually fake and only meant to make us think (or true), the execution was poor. It felt like I was paying money to watch a 90 to 120 minute Discovery channel show where they have no good footage due the camera magically ****ing up.
I think the clearest evidence of extraterrestrial life is that they HAVEN’T tried to contact us en masse. Most likely because they read a message board post series just like this one. If I were from another planet and witnessed our general human interaction (of which this is an example) I would probably come back in a couple thousand years hoping for some evolution to have occurred (providing the place hasn’t been nuked or drowned in the meantime). Yay humans.
anya, no offense or anything, but you need to grow up. stop acting like you know everything. when it’s obvious you don’t. anon seems to know exactly what hes/shes talking about. your just trying to make up things to make yourself look smarter. and trust me. it’s really not working. the lamp used is a basic lamp. they tried as hard as they could to recreate the scene to reenact the actual or fake footage. you should know that. the reason I think why he didn’t read your entire passage was because you were acting like a child on the very beginning of your passage. you should honestly know better.
For one, they say it is real but i did not see it in writing in te film. Did anyone els? Two, if it was real, why did it just show up now. It would be in every news real, History Chanel Special and m night shyamalan movie out. Finaly lets tink national security and “true” conspiracy theories. If evidense like this existed and the FBI were involved it wold be conviscated. In the 1900s the evidense on UFOs was more secret than the A-Bomb. How would hollywood not only obtain it and produce it with no legal or “hands on” resistance, but also keep it out. This is just like the radio broadcast of war of the worlds back in the 1938. You cannot deny how scary it was and how real it looked and sounded. In the end you can only think if it is real… thank god i don’t and won’t emember if it happened to me.
hahaha maybe i AM a child!!!!! and clearly you could not understand the lamp reference that i made EITHER because, for the THIRD TIME, they didn’t use the same props to re-create the SAME ROOM, the used it in a DIFFERENT LOCATION = big mistake!! And it was not a ‘basic lamp’, it was quite unique, actually. And no offense Danielle, but why don’t you watch the movie first before you try to sound like you know what you are talking about?
PS. When you watch it, the “actual footage” scenes are not real and they were filmed for the movie. Just a heads up
Oh, and…Anon read my ‘entire passage’, don’t you worry. He just doesn’t have anything to say. MWAHHAHAHAHHA!!!!!!!!
ALIENS RULE!
This movies credibility is real, you can google all the documents, and so forth, the footage was not manipulated. Also with the actors, and actresses coming out and speaking is a hell of a lot better then in paranormal activity when you had to stay AFTER THE CREDITS to find out it was fake. By stating that it’s real and warning you about what you are going to see, nowhere in the credits, from anything does it say it’s fiction, BY LAW they have to put a disclaimer in there if it’s based on real events. But instead of just saying “based on true events” before the movie they actually let the actors/actresses tell you first hand how it was determined and made. If it was false they have to let you know either in the beginning or end. And they did not.
In my opinion i thank the directors for that, because it lets me feel better. Some people said the movie is just like the blare witch project, cloverfield, and paranormal activity. First off they didn’t have someone holding the camera to make it seem real. They showed you the REAL footage, and where they acted it out, and they used professional cameras when on the actors.
well smell my finger i have not watched the film and wont as i have forgotten the combination to the bunker door since watching terminator.
Alright, I guess I’ll put my two cents in.
What I’ve read so far is truly ridiculous, and I don’t really understand this Danielle chick.
“stop acting like you know everything. when it’s obvious you don’t. anon seems to know exactly what hes/shes talking about. your just trying to make up things to make yourself look smarter. and trust me. it’s really not working.” -Danielle.
Do you realize how retarded you appear just typing that? “U DONT KNOW WUT UR TALKIN ABOUT ANYA BUT THIS ANON GUY SEEMS TO KNOW SO I’M GOING TO GO WITH HIM BECOZ HE TYPES PROPERLY AND SUCH SO I’M GOING TO BELIEVE DAH GUY WHO TYPEZ REAL GOOD AND STUFFS AND TYPES BIG WORDSZDSSZSSZS”
For Christ sakes, you might as well have just typed all that. We all know you probably have some sort of e-crush for this Anon guy so you’re going to make a silly attempt to try and impress him by showing you’re on his “side,” don’t be such a internet bimbo and calm down with your ridiculous rants. Also, Anya we all know Anon read your second comment, it’s evident that he did. Any way, every one has their own opinion or would like to state what they feel is fake or real, let them do so. Read each others thoughts and get the hell on with your life.
Ciao
The movie was a good story line and yes I will say was worth my time to go see. I thought the story line was pretty good and thought it would be better if the footage was actually real so I went online to read some reviews. There were some pretty intelligent responses when I started to read then after awhile turned into a high school argument between postings and eventually had nothing to do with the movie anymore.
Anyways, yes there have been many MANY sightings all over the world so the possibility is definitely there and I always keep my mind open. I also think that if someone comes up with a story of seeing some sort of non-human thing or an encounter of some kind that others will come up with stories as well to try to get publicity. But again I am not against anyone that says they have truly had these encounters.
The movie was just a movie that obviously got a lot of attention, reviews, and made a lot of money which is the goal of every movie that is made. If it is actually based off real events and the tapes were real then it makes the movie that much better but if not the story line was good.
http://io9.com/5399895/fourth-kind-insider-yes-it-was-totally-fake
Thank you all for the entertaining thread. My favorite was “dubmass.”
Whether the validity of this movie is completely bunk or not, all the statements regarding ancient Sumerian text/hieroglyphics are real. Controversial “pictures” of humans in space suits and rockets can be viewed for yourself even in some Egyptian and Aztec hieroglyphics. The problem is that it all relies on complete interpretation OF the ancient text and hieroglyphics.
Well crap!! I just watched it. I can honestly say that I thought the movie was very convincing, that’s why I am here, trying to find out if it is based on real events or not. While reading this comments is fun we all have to admit that none of us have any hard evidence about the film being either fake or real, all I’ve been able to find so far is a bunch of opinions from people that can speak their minds but wont listen to the others’.
Has anybody found actual comments from either the producers or the director stating the truth? Remember Fargo? Even though during the film there’s a statement saying the movie is based on real events the directors admitted it was not real.
Anya,
Whenever there is a person playing themselves in a movie, in the credits, it will say “Abigal Tyler as herself”…. they didn’t have her name at all in the credits except for “Abigail Tyler played by Milla Jovovich”
It does in fact credit Dr. Abigal Emily Tyler in the credits of the movie.
just saying. Along with the actors and actresses who portrayed the supposidly real people.
mel, for one thing, you tell us to get a life yet your the one reading everyone elses comments, and trying to make yourself sound intelligent with your oh so big words like ‘any way’ and ‘ridiculous’. no, I don’t have a ‘crush’ on anon, I don’t even know who he is. his accusations just sound a little more on-the-spot if you know what I mean. oh wait. you don’t. now go and copy and paste what Danielle said and act like a big bad adult saying everyone should get a life. when you’re the one going on here, responding to something that doesn’t even involve you, and yet you think just because you say things like that makes you feel powerful, am I correct? plus, I don’t give a freakin a about how anon types. for all I know he could have typed it on word. stop believing in Christ and get a life of your own.
This was just posted hours ago. http://newsminer.com/pages/full_story/push?article-Alaska+newspapers-+movie+studio+reach+settlement+over+-Fourth+Kind-%20&id=4440819-Alaska+newspapers-+movie+studio+reach+settlement+over+-Fourth+Kind-&instance=home_news_window_left_top_1
If it were real, they wouldn’t have to fabricate articles to corroborate their film
Ha ha ha ha!
I never typed “get a life,” now you’ve definitely made yourself look dumb.
Here, let me show you what I typed.
” Read each others thoughts and get the hell on with your life.
Ciao”
I typed “get the hell on with your life.”
Don’t be so stupid, dear. I really do like how you type “I don’t have a “crush” on Anon,” even though a little bit after in your passage you clearly state that you aren’t Danielle, which is who I was referring to. Interesting, I thought my comment was towards her, not you. Any how, It’s cute that you think I’m trying to be the big bad adult around here. Oh and one more thing ilikeponiez, since when did the words “ridiculous” and “Any way” become a “big” word? That’s hilarious…. truly I laughed. Really though, you need to expand your vocabulary by a lot if you think those are “big” words. Plus, if you’re telling me that this whole thread doesn’t involve me? Since when did it involve you? I believe anyone can comment on this, so don’t go around acting like I wasn’t invited to the party.
Ciao.
Theres is a lot of info in this movie detailing certain facts that the writer wanted you to know… It tore down the first chapter of the bible and explained the summarians and what the had foreseen. You cannot say this movie is entirely false and those that do need to actually get their head out of their ass. It’s always been said that human’s with all the facts in front of their face will always doubt the most simplest of things because to them everything is based on pure intellect. There also if you notice a lot of actual information that identified the realism of this movie are now non-existent so to “C-Wade” i do not believe they were not in on keeping a lot of things in the open when you look at the gap information.
I completely believe it. Aliens have been around forever. I think when people don’t believe in them, they’re simply using that as a comfort blanket. Humans know virtually nothing about the paranormal. Those who are too scared to face the fact that Earth and the physical world are not the only things around, are simply the ones who laugh at the fact of Aliens. The director at the beginning of this movie has the actress state the footage is real and to believe what you want in the end. People automatically figure “its fake” but why do you figure it is? Aliens have evolved to the point that we cannot comprehend. There is abduction stories all over the place, and thousands upon thousands of UFO sightings. And every time you doubters just shrug it off? Clearly there is more out there. This is not open to debate anymore, it’s fact. There is a famous abduction story of a woman and she tells the Aliens she will tell everyone about them and they simply say back “Nobody will believe you”. And its true. Maybe we should start admitting we dont know anything and opening our minds to bigger possibilities. If this scares you, that means you’re weak. Continue living your pathetic little life of work, school and materialism and let the people with open minds step foreward and speak. We are most definitely NOT alone in this massive universe(s). We never have been, and we never will be. Face it.
Well I watched it under the impression the real footage was real footage…..if it was fake I want my money back. Surely if it wasn’t real footage they can’t say it is?
I liked the film….but now I am thinking have I been conned or was it real? Isn’t there a law that says something about not lying? Or did thet go out with Golman Sachs bonuses?
surely you can’t say this is “real footage” then make us watch staged stuff? I agree with this:
——————————————————————-
By stating that it’s real and warning you about what you are going to see, nowhere in the credits, from anything does it say it’s fiction, BY LAW they have to put a disclaimer in there if it’s based on real events. But instead of just saying “based on true events” before the movie they actually let the actors/actresses tell you first hand how it was determined and made. If it was false they have to let you know either in the beginning or end. And they did not.
I give this movie an A+ for the story line and it has inspired me to investigate. I have contacted the Nome Nugget the local news paper and read many of their old cases and i have found nothing out of the ordinary the only thing i found. The cases are solved and related to alcohol, you may say yeah right i dont believe it but yo uhave to see the location and the drinking laws are different. also, if you have seen the movie there is suppose to be a real shot of a space ship above her house recorded from a police officer. but you can clearly see trees by the house. Nome has no trees what soever. it is flat and communities are bunched together. i know it was not filmed theie , but what about this so called real footage. maybe nome is a cover up ? and the real place hasn’t been told. maybe Dr.Tyler is an alias name. I believe in this movie as it could be a real story. but i wanna know where and who was really involved.
All of you people that swear you know what you are talking about, you don’t. You truly believe that what you are saying is absolutely true, and quite frankly its making you sound like morons. Their are no facts, so you can’t automatically assume whats true. So when you think what you are saying is true, just remember your statement is just an opinion. However, my opinion on this movie; I believe its actually real. One thing I know is that people do get sued for false advertisement. As far as the archive footage, it seemed really real to me. Watching some ones body and face get disfigured in real life looks completely different from animation. It still haunts me.
yeah the more i think about it…it was a movie from the first credit till the end.
Never once did they say “Based on actuallt events” They chose their words carefully…..
Oh well it was very good and had me for a while….It was atwist on the “Blair Witch” “Cloverfield” I kind of started to beleive it during the movie…..
Same here……i was sat in the pub downing my 6th pint and I kind oif thought if that WAS real there would have been such a news storm about it in 2002 it would have been unreal. It would have been all over Ypoutube, the Net, etc…..LOL I f*** actually beleived it was real until I got home….
Any how well done. You got me. It was VERY well done.
———————————————————————-
Well crap!! I just watched it. I can honestly say that I thought the movie was very convincing, that’s why I am here, trying to find out if it is based on real events or not.
First of all youtube did not come out till feb 05, secondly the video in the movie wit the doctor giving the interview happened in 2002.
after studying and putting the facts together i really dont think nome is the real place of all these obductions , and i dont think dr.tyler is the real name. i think the directors picked nome as a cover up because it has some dissapearances linked to it.nome has no trees and like i said in the footage from the police car that was supose to be real had trees in it. im almost posative this is real. but not in nome, and there is no dr.tyler. that was a cover up name. but i think that was the real lady and footage in the movie , but there is some true facts they are hiding.
I’m still looking into if the “actual footage” is actual footage.
But for arguments sake lets say it is.
This encounter seems to be demonic, which I s’pose could be considered ‘alien’. The entity says it is “I AM” which is what God called Himself when He spoke to Moses. And, outrightly, the entity calls itself God. Satan has disguised himself as God as referenced historically and has declared his desire to be worshiped instead of God as referenced biblically. So, you have a non-benevolent being that has nowhere the powers of God claiming to be god. Sounds satanic to me
I have had encounters that I would say are demonic. Nothing to the degree of the film but with similarities…I was in a light sleep, there were no shapes but a definite sense of the presence of a conscious entity, the feeling of evil (”hopelessness” as described by Dr. Abigail). Fortunately I am a Christian so I can’t be possessed. None-the-less, demonic activity is there. They are ‘alien’ to our existence but are real. A true RELATIONSHIP with the one and only God will prevent possession. If you seek God, with ALL YOUR HEART you will find HIm. And you will be saved.
Haha alright i went and saw this movie tonight and i just thought id share my take on the whole film. after reading the comments and from what i saw i think that it was clearly staged. They made fake news articles as well as used the same props twice. but what really got me was this “acient language” i mean im no historian but why would alians say “i am god”? i mean first of all even through out history civilizations has believed in more then one god and didnt call them god they all had different names. so some alian civilization traveled all this way to abduct people and tell them they were god? hmm sounds to me like theyre just playing on your fears. sleeping dark bed time something watching you at night sneaking into your room and religion. just like jaws why do you think people were afraid to swim at beaches its because they said most shark attacks occur in 3 feet of water or less or whatever they said. its just hollywood and they got you and they got me because i wanted to see for myself and i spent the money. as far as alians go there has to be some out there but im pretty sure this was faked.
well i hate alska and this movie i saw it today and shit my pants ….. since when did hollywood suport meth heads but any ways fake or not fuck u guys cause no ufo shit ever happens in new york (thank u harmeal brookyln ) and if so its alway the ppl who r like “o my god its allens ” and not the ppl who r like “fuck this shit yall r crazy’
ok so i think you all need to smoke a joint and calm the fuck down youre all getting wicked pissed over peoples opinions its pretty lame…and the owl in the movie was pretty
YOU PEOPLE MAKE NO SENSE! THEY SAID THEIR NAMES WERE CHANGED FOR THEIR PROTECTION! SO NO WONDER YOU CAN’T FIND “ABAGIAL TYLER”! EVERY OPINION I’VE HEARD ABOUT THIS MOVIE BEING FAKE ARE ALL DUMB, IGNORANT RANTS THAT MAKE NO SENSE! CRAP!
@Anya
You don’t think that it is possible for a psychologist and a patient to have the same taste in lighting fixtures and visit the same Home Depot? I think that’s better odds than succumbing to an alien abduction.
@mitch
Aliens are scary, of course they would play to your fears. The good Doctor said that she didn’t believe that it was God. Why should you?
Well crap!! I just watched it last night. I can honestly say that I thought the movie was very convincing, that’s why I’m here, trying to find out if these events actually occured and if the footage shown was actually real or not.
Anya you are a fucking cunt. I hope an alien comes and abducts you cuz i hate people like u. Ur nothing but an immature bitch and the world could use less people like u. And i know ur reading this. Stupid fuck
Thank u cherrykimsicle for speaking the truth. To be great is to be misunderstood. And idk about u but im tired of being surrounded by ppl who are not ready to accept the fact that wen it comes to the grand scheme of the universe, us humans are worth nothing. Ultimately, humans will evolve into a species which has mastered all of the physical laws of the universe. That is what aliens have done. And if we learn to open our eyes, in time we will become them. Everything is possible. By the way,aliens are a type 3 civilization. Us humans are a type 0 civilization.
dude, flav man, alright, AGAIN, YOU TELLING PEOPLE TO NOT BELIEVE EVERYTHING THEY READ OR SEE, BUT THERE AGAIN YOU ARE DOING IT IN YOUR OWN POSTS!!!!!!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK? ARE YOU KIDDING???
ok right here, not a fact, but a opinion you posted as a fact…..,
“In 2006, the Anchorage Daily News did a story on the disappearances in Nome, Alaska (the town in which the film takes place) and provided the FBI’s conclusions about them. What were those conclusions? That the winter climate and alcoholism were to blame for the disappearances of 24 people over 40 years.”
That right there isnt a fact. Its an OPINION. JUST BECAUSE THE POLICE SAY ITS TRUE MEANS IT IS?? OBVIOUSLY YOU NEVER GREW UP ON A REAL STREET ANYWHERE BECAUSE THAT IS A FALSEHOOD. POLICE ARE AS SIMPLE AND CLOSE MINDED AS THE DONUT SHOPS THEY GRAZE IN. THEY SAY SHIT JUST TO FILL THE VOID. SO RIGHT THERE, NOT A FACT. BUTTTTT, YOU WANT TO USE THAT TO DISCREDIT A STORY?? ARE YOU SURE YOUR NOT WORKING FOR THE FBI OR SOME SHIT LIKE THAT? YOU SEEM LIKE A FED..
and mitch, if you didnt know, the ALIENS, in the movie, are your creators, called the annunaki, and my friend, there is more FACTUAL PROOF, MORE PROOF THEN JESUS, MORE PROOF THEN THE PYRAMIDS, THAT THE ALIEN SPEAKING THRU THAT BODY, IS YOURS AND MINE GOD. IF, it happened. But, why would it say i am god? maybe its sending a warning. but of course no one would listen. all you cats do your reading before you post up retarded comments, i feel like im talkin to some retards..
and mitha, talking about jesus? lmao, well, did you know that the sumerians are over 8000 years older then your jesus, then your moses or your egyptians? did you know that more then half of the bible that you read comes from sumerians? did you also know, that, there is no such thing as satan and god? but did you know that there are annunaki? hmmm, geez man i give up, too many fucking retards, you guys are all fucked in the mind, brainwashed and shit, dont know your back from your ass. Brainwashed cats. gotta love them sheeple..
watched the film last night with my girlfriend, and thought it was awesome. i shat myself trying to sleep last night XD you lot really are a bunch of dumbasses. You were told to make your own mind up at the start of the film. not bitch about it. and im sorry but all of your points ar total crap. i read one about how every government has released all their files on UFOs and abductions……XD OMFG WHAT A RETARD. 1- how the hell would you know if they had? cos the government just told you eh?
and they would never release information like that. WW2 info is still classified and confidential you retards. I really liked the film and i dont give a shit what you guys think, it was convincing to me. you all keep pulling up faults, but just stop and think for a sec. would the FBI and the government allow a film release that is 100% accurate? honestly? no, i didnt think so. it has been security checked a million times and many changes have been made so that nothing gets out. thats were your faults come from.
Detroit, I see you are jealous of those who have the truth. But in case someone actually listens to your spew of filth…FYI: making a statement is NOT an argument. If the Sumerian culture predates the Hebrew culture, so what? The Bible isn’t A book; it is a compliation of 66 books. The old Testament has 39 of these. Each book has confirmed authroship with the possible exception of Esther.The confirmation comes both from other books within the Bible, such as Jesus referring to Moses writing the Law (Genesis and Deuteronomy) or from Jewish and Christian scholars. Whenever authorship has been questioned, it was NEVER a question of whether it was someone outside of the the Hebrew nation.
Saying there is no God…do you have proof? No, you don’t. Similarly, do you have prroof there is no Satan? No. The beliefs and scholarship of the last 2000 years are all wrong and you are right just by saying so.But, where is the proof of the existance of annunaki? And either your hypocrisy or your jealousy is revealed when you attack thee person but make so argument for your point (because you don’t have an argument). Seek the LORD with all your heart, if you truly want to know if He exists, and you WILL find Him. If not, you will find Him anyway…in your ending.
Anyone here ever heard of a mokumentary? Well if not, lwt me tell you about what is actually is, there is an actual law stating that a movie can lie and say things are real and that its a documentary without being discredited and fined for false staements, a perfect example, ladies and gentlemen i bring you, “The Fourth Kind”
I wish an alien came and abducted me!!!!! I’m too cool for this world mwhaahhahahha
LOL. whoever said these people need to smoke a joint is right!!
“Anonymous” - it is sooo cute how you get so angry
I wonder if aliens get high, hmmmm……
Okay, Richard, you’re ignorant. Communion by Whitley Strieber is NON-FICTION! Maybe you should actually READ the book! Moron… Anyway, the footage of the interviews and strange phenomenon seem to be authentic. Can’t the producers get in serious trouble for presenting it as true footage? And the whole it’s our choice to believe or not thing at the end means exactly that! Do we believe they were aliens? Do we believe it’s God? The footage you saw on screen does not lie. If it did, then a lot of people would be getting sued as well as bruised asses. Alien abduction is very hard to believe, but all I know is that saying it’s fake with no evidence behind it is ridiculous. The footage had evidence, citation. Actuality. I’m not saying not to be skeptical, but be open minded for Christ’s sake! I swear some of you people always conform to media, what you see and don’t see and what you think is fact and fiction. Both are possible, okay? If humans can hurt humans, life forms can hurt other life forms, then why can’t something we’ve never seen or felt before hurt us the same way? Think about it. The universe is a great thing, and we’re not the only ones residing in it.
Theres Billions of lightyears of other planets out there.. tons of planets that can inhibit life, but i seriously doubt any of them have the technology to get over here, if they are even lifeforms like us, they could just be bacteria, fish, or animals, etc. Pretty sure we are the only intelligent lifeform out there, in the bible it said god created us in his image and i dont recall it saying anything about aliens, lol.. who knows, either way i dont think theres any aliens abducting people.. sounded more demonic to me, and demons & bad spirits and all that are real.. ouija boards for instance, not a smart idea to use because of that reason.. ive had stupid friends that tried it and regretted it
MITHAM YOU ARE THE BIGGEST RETARD ON THE PLANET… WHERE IS THE PROOF THAT THE ANNUNAKI WERE HERE? AND THEY CREATED US??? UMMM WELL, HOW ABOUT THE OVER 50000+ TABLETS AND ARTIFACTS, AND PICTURES,AND MONUMENTS, ETC. ETC. ETC. AND YES, EVEN SCIENTIST SAY NOW, THAT ALL , AND YES I SAY ALLLLLL OF THE STORYS THAT WERE IN THE BIBLE CAME FROM ANCIENT MESOPOTAMIA, BEFORE YOUR PRECIOUS JESUS. AND ALSO, YOU ASK ME ABOUT PROOF??? WERE IS YOUR PROOF ABOUT JESUS. AND NO SIR, IM NOT A BIBLE HATER, AND I DONT HATE JESUS. STOP THAT SILLINESS. BUT, THERE ISNT ONE HISTORIAN OR PERSON WHO RECORDED THERE EVEN BEING A PERSON NAMED JESUS FROM THAT TIME PEROID AT ALL. now, me being me, it could be a few things, it could be they erased him from history, or it could mean that constatine, like i always thought he did to gain power from the people, created jesus as a way to control the people of europe with the church, you see, there really isnt any PROOF, of there even being a jesus. but there is SOLIDIFIED, REAL, PROOF of annunaki being here. ITS IN OUR HISTORY. ALL OVER THE WORLD, EVEN THE MAYANS, THE AZTECS, THE AMERICAN INDIANS, THE CELTICS, ETC. THERE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN ALIEN INFLUENCE ON MANKIND. so get out of here with that brainwashed garble. and if there was a jesus he was probably just a hybrid alien human… man…. lol
also,let me retract the god statement, i meant not the god that christians think he is. why would you believe a religion, that actually has a ton of other religions fused into it?? anyways, if any of you were half as smart as you thought, any trace of the situation being out there would most likely be covered up by the government. And, for people who talk about “demonic” forces. well, just think of it like this. there arent any “demons” the forces are of alien nature. they are evil entitys, and there are good ones. wouldnt it make more sense that angels, “from the heavens” are actually of alien nature celestial beings? and that the aliens as of this nature, would be the evil “demonic” as you would say beings? you have to think, now, back then, why would angels have wings? cause they could fly, why would they have “chariots on fire flying in the sky?” because, that would represent a space ship. The times have changed, you have to think, that, back then they wouldnt know what a space ship was, so they could only compare them with what they thought it could be. If you think that is crazy, then you obviously havent expanded your mind past what CNN or any other government propaganda tool has told you. just look past the B.S. its out there. Aliens, Angels,Demons, God, and so forth, all go together. Its just that back then, they didnt know how to describe. but it makes perfect sense that they go together.
Everything I can tell you is that you should read about spiritual consciousness. They are already here invisible by your blindness and unbelief.
I have been visited by ovnis for long, i saw him here just in my room. I saw their spirits shapes many times, i heard their voices and even tried to talk to them. But the fear is the worst chalange to us, fear is ignorance.
This seems to be a joke or no matter what you want, but the fact is that I have my profs now. I hope you will have your as well, and that you will be prepared for that, cause in 3 years my friends these words will be remeber by who readed.
We are living a new era that is coming soon.
David from belgium..
Well let’s see… I read about halfway down the page… Then I stopped… And here is why:
1. Most people here haven’t researched anything. (MOST people)
2. Most of the posts are obviously personal, rather than talking about the subject at hand- the movie being real or fake
3. Many people don’t even know what the hell they think or believe
4. Most posts are loaded with spelling errors.
ok so here is the deal- we are looking at whether this movie is factual or fictious. As we all know, they tell us in the beginning that it is based off of real events blah blah blah. But if anyone here noticed, they say the truth is yours to believe. This is basically their disclaimer, saying if you don’t believe it is true you have the right to. They are basically doing the same thing as paranormal activity, but in a different way. They can get away with saying “believe what you want” unstead of “this movie is fake”… Ect.
The movie is fake. Let’s get that said right off the bat. Let’s be real here; it was obvious the “actual” footage was edited… And that most of the actual names used don’t even exist. The Wall Street Journal actually did a search for Abigail, and they could not find her in Alaskan Phycological documents. Also, if you watch the footage, you see the mouths of the “abducted” person warp and distort very large… Large enough to rip your jaw muscles to shreds and break any bones in your jaw. You can believe the aliens did that and magically fixed their jaws right? Oh but let’s not forget the mans back and neck vertabrae were severed. Also, why would aliens just randomly “abduct” someone because they are under hypnosis? And the thing is they aren’t even being “abducted” they are being POSSESSED. It is kind of obvious how different abduction and possessition are. And also, why would aliens let you see their ship BEFORE distorting the images? And why distort the images, but let the whole word hear you speak this “ancient” language? You don’t think they would distort the audio also?
But, who is to say aliens don’t exist? Who is to say that we aren’t being abducted every night in our sleep and our memories being erased? There are millions of reports and I have trusted family members that wouldn’t make stuff up go insane after being “abducted”. The fact is that there are things going on we cannot explain and cannot understand. Our universe is HUGE and we barely know 1/1,000,000 of all planets or bodies in our universe. You think we are the only intelligent life? Get real. Learn some statistics and probabilities.
Anway, I’m not saying I believe either way about aliens. For all I know it could be demons it could be monsters or it could be our own government. What I am saying is that I will believe things that I see. If I get abducted or suddenly rememer being abducted that’s what I’m going to believe. But right now I’m not going to say skinny grey beings are sucking us up to invisible metal flying saucers in the sky to do tests on me that they have done millions of times already. Sorry.
okTrueIntelligence thank u cause i knew ppl poked holes in it before it came out but i didnt know what but shitttt thats some scary ass shit even if it is fake i mean damn i almosted pissed myself and thats what a scary movie should do so fuck it if its real or not its one hell of a movie .. funny in some parts and damn right shit ur pants in others
Well, all I have to say is… “Duhhhh!”.
I mean, folks, really. This is a movie. It’s not real. None of it is real. It is made by a MOVIE STUDIO and WRITERS.
Both of the “Dr Tyler” characters are played by actresses. Again, “Duhhhh”. And Please do at least a little bit of research into what the conclusions are to the FBI investigations into the disappearances in Alaska.
Isn’t it kind of funny that they all appear to have had alcohol involved? And isn’t it kind of funny that frigid temperatures can kind of contribute to oh, say, FREEZING TO DEATH AFTER PASSING OUT OUTSIDE? And isn’t it kind of obvious that the indigenous creatures of Alaska would want to drag off and eat any nice, fresh meat they find laying around, whether it’s human, animal, or any other type of meat?
And maybe there are some murders involved. Definitely possible. But isn’t it also kind of funny that we are talking about a period of over 40 years, and that seems like it could also be the time period of a serial killer’s tenure in any given area?
For some people, the most plausible and obvious explanations are the most suspicious… because when you are a conspiracy believer, you are locked into a closed belief system, and any evidence against the conspiracy simply becomes part of the “vast coverup”.
Ask yourself… “What evidence would convince me that there is no conspiracy here?”. If your answer is “there is no evidence, because it’s all part of the coverup”, you are hopelessly lost in a world of silliness, paranoia, and anomaly hunting. And that’s a really sad place to be. People who believe in grand conspiracies are incredibly closed-minded. It’s the only way that they can validate their wacky logic processes.
In regards to this stupid movie (remember, folks, it is a MOVIE, just like the Blair Witch Project was), all of the “actual footage” was staged, portrayed by actors, and digitally enhanced. And I wouldn’t consider any of it to be “evidence” even if it was “actual footage”. It’s so suspicious to me that every time some alien visitation video is presented, it always JUST SO HAPPENS to go all fuzzy or jerky or grainy juuuuuuust at the moment that something compelling would present itself. Let’s also remember that with the advent of photo and video manipulation software that is available to anyone with a computer, these types of “evidence” are being reduced to unacceptable forms of proof of anything… But especially when it comes from a MOVIE STUDIO. Please, people, THINK for just a moment. Please. Just take a deep breath, and THINK.
I believe that alien visitation is completely plausible, even given the tremendous travel limitations that would be presented by sheer distance and the Theory (LAW) of Relativity. Although I haven’t figured out why any species would travel over a hundred thousand years to get here so that they can hide and core out the anuses of cattle and make pretty patterns in crops (don’t even get me started on how silly crop circle believers are).
Absolutely all of the “evidence” that a lot of people are willing to accept as “proof” of such phenomena is pure garbage. And 1 million pieces of garbage don’t add up to “evidence”. They just add up to a pile of garbage a million pieces high.
Thanks for thinking. Or at least trying.
7mile Detroit Baby, I think your the biggest moron here. Stop acting like you know exactly what you are talking about. I feel slightly stupid for reading your whole dumb-ass comment. Let me just say if you cant prove a single thing you say, then you shouldn’t say anything. At least some the people know what they are saying is their opinion. You however, swear that what you say is factual. This is why the alien species is more advanced then us, because we got dumb fucks like you.
RationalistResponder, once again your comment is just an opinion. You don’t know shit.
RationalistResponder, actually not just that, but also you have no sense towards statistics and probability. Your talking about millions on top of millions of witnesses, victims, evidence, and conspiracies. All relating to be fake. I know your not suppose to be gullible, but you half to believe some one is telling the truth. Your just using your opinion as a comfort blanket. Meaning you don’t want to believe it because you know you would be scared.
Detroit…typical hate-mongering of those who have no argument…attack the person instead of the issue. Don’t dis. me …try to dis. God:
2nd Thessalonians 2:9-12 “9 The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with the work of Satan displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders, 10 and in every sort of evil that deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11 For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie 12 and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.”
Its a good movie weather its real or not. People should stop insulting it. people should post more mature comments and not just their own opinion and learn how to type correctly. Has anyone found anything online that would lead them to believe it may be real. All i could find was unsolved disappearances that they blamed on alcohol or a possible serial killer and did no further investigations. It may be possible that these were not the true cause of disappearances but were the easy resolutions to telling the public. And also Im not saying that these videos are true because so far no one knows but someone said that if they were real why wouldn’t they have already showed them on public television? Educate yourself go look up rosswell and other alien sightings. The reason we are not told about them is because the government may be covering it up to prevent widespread panic. Many people would be terrified if they were openly told by the government or news that there was evidence of aliens. People killed themselves after thinking that aliens were coming to earth just from a false act of entertainment on the radio. A lot of people in our world would not take it the right way if all the evidence was laid out right before them. People want to deny their existence because of fear. I am not saying that this movie is real. That i don’t know. But it was however a very good movie and i am glad i went to see it. People need to stop insulting it so much and saying that it offends them. Go educate yourselves about the information out their before trying to deny it.
I downloaded the movie and analyzed those footage’s. If you go to the end under Dr tylers hypnosis and slowed down the footage, where you could see pic by pic of the action. I’m telling you, that’s not something animated. When you look at her eyes and see her whole body twitch back and fourth, its different watching it happened to real a person.
from YHOO Movies. I agree:
——————————————————————–
For those willing to buy into The Fourth Kind’s claims of authenticity, the experience is at times genuinely terrifying. But after a while it becomes increasingly obvious that the film’s documentary sequences are staged — and often badly so. Director Osunsanmi brought a clever idea to the table, but he didn’t quite have the skills — or the actors — to pull it off, and the result feels like an elaborate cinematic con-job.
hmmm, adam, i dont know bro, really, i dont care. i really dont care if the movies real or not. who cares? it might be, it might not. but all i know is, that some weird shits been going on in alaska for a long time now. There was actually a sighting (even by the state senator himself) of a giant large bird thing that was the size of a 747 jet, it was on this news, but only for a brief second. Who knows man, life is ill. either way, annunaki exists. just study up on it. and as for the bible. why do people try to solidify the bible by reading quotes from it? how does that solidify? at least read the original version and not the hacked up king james version. also did you know that shakespeare wrote the king james version? and he was a homo. so , thats it, good day people, you either believe or you dont. i believe in god thats all that matters. who he is we will never know until we meet him. good night, peace, love, and all the rest…
That’s actually much better. You see, you sound more intelligent their, and yes you are right, the movie can be real or fake. One thing that I suggest is to download the movie, and analyze the footage’s yourself. Your going to see what I’m talking about. Like I said Before, people do get sued for false advertisement, and the movie didn’t just say that it was based on actual case studies, they also said it was a reenactment. The thing is that the movie brought some compelling evidence. If the movie was fake, then the producers would half to disclose the names of those people in the footage’s at the end credits. You cannot find those names anywhere. One thing that you said that I don’t agree with is that the aliens could be angels, demons, and even god. You are entitled to your own opinion, but when you claim that its true, its going to get some people mad.
I’m a Christian who believes that aliens are demons trying to get you to take your eyes off God because when Lucifer was cast out of heaven with one third of the angels, God gave him power and authority over the first and second heavenlies (first being the earth and the air around it, second being what we call space, or the universe, heaven being the third heavenly realm, beyond space or time), so the devil and the demons inhabit earth and space. Having said all that, I just enjoyed the movie! Who cares if it’s fake or not? I had absolute CHILLS running down my spine when the camera panned in a circle around the owl, and it followed the lens, twisting its head in a full circle, its black eyes looking so alien-like… THATS what going to the movies is about!
Well, think what you like, the film was weird.
Me and a friend were discussing the ramifications of the aliens accidentally abducting the toaster or the fridge - I have reason to believe people on this discussion board would do well to obtain a sense of humor. If the footage was real, and not a meretricious attempt to distort actual facts, then it’s pants-shittingly good.
The aliens make reference to scripture and God, most Christians think aliens are demons. That’s not to say they are demons, but if I were to try and convince a silly (half) intellectual being that I was God, I probably wouldn’t abduct them and subject them to extreme pain. Maybe we offend God though every time we pretend to understand his motives and thoughts. Maybe, just maybe, WE are the messed up ones. Get the book “the only planet of choice”, good stuff.
Another thing, the script for the aliens is like hagiography, if it was scripted at all. Aliens quoting scripture, geez. If these smokey eyes gray thin sticks start quoting scripture to me, I’ll throw myself of their ship !_!….. God isn’t found in scripture it’s found in life, children and nature.
Not to double post or anything, there’s a lot I have to say.
If aliens abduct you and you’re scared, you’re just a scared abductee. Fear should play no part in your life, of anything misunderstood. If you fear the unknown then everything in your life will dominated through fear (as circumstances usually manifest from the unknown). If a black eyes cigarette wannabe comes and takes you, go with it. Do a little dance, make jokes and sing. I think that’d creep the alien out more than a stupidly annoying high pitched scream (which any mortal and intelligent life form would want to silence with due haste). Or go one better, lay a trap, wait for the alien to come and abduct him/her/it, take it to see the fourth kind yourself and see if it shifts uncomfortably in its’ chair, if so, it’s real! Bingo. Solution!
Okay after reading some of these comments I would just like to say I cannot stand this anya person. As for the issue, most of what I would normally say regarding the movie has been stated so I’ll skip that. Anya, honestly, find something better to do with your time. I guarantee you wouldn’t have said any of this in person to anybody. NEWS FLASH: No one likes people like you who have fights online and don’t do anything in person. So go outside and take a jog I bet you could use one…
Look its simple, in a town like Nome, or any other town in the United States, A man shooting his family would be in the newspapers on a state level. Theres just no way to get around that. Also in a tow like Nome it’s doubtful that everyone doesn’t have a very good idea who everyone is. Something like a family shooting where the doctor was so deeply implicated would have most likely ruined her practice and she would have been ruined. If anyone is truly interested in learning whether this movie is the truth they would simply have to check google to see if there has ever been any family shootings in Nome alaska, from my investigations of Alaskan newspapers im drawing a big no… So how can any of the movie be real if one of it’s major depictions has shown itself so readily to be false. Logically it makes no sense? Cover up? In this particular case I don’t think so(beyond the fact that the footage is very gaudy) but if your really interested in conspiracies “Behold a Pale Horse” is quite interesting though it takes a open and subjective mind
You people need heavy doses of Prozac; it’s Hollywood making money, get over it!
Ethan - NEWS FLASH: you are one of them, you idiot!!!!!! I WIN. (again)
Ok i’m off for that jog now. Gotta lose a good 200 lbs - aliens can’t abduct me if i can’t fit in their space ship now, can they?
Well after seeing the film which was good as it provoked a reaction to look deeper!
Then after Reading some or most of the comments, I think we have all missed the term ‘real footage’ the fact they said that it is real footage is fine, as at the end of the day it Is real as anything we make in life is real! So it’s real! We are just stupid to think that it’s actual recorded live footage! It’s a twist on words that’s all this film is about! Not a bad story but silly fake that can mislead people! Of course there is other planets that can support life! Maybe we are all aliens ourselves as we are destroying the planet! Whenever you introduce an alien species into a new environment it always ends in disaster! It was probably an amazing place without us!
I personally think that, although this movie may be fake(or real), none of us have any hard proof to determine so, one way or the other. And honestly I don’t think the movie is intended to be taken as hard evidence for anything. It’s simply meant to inspire you to decide if you believe in such things. I believe that something odd is up with Alaska if the FBI really have made 300 or so visits to just Nome alone. Could be a serial killer or something, who knows. My point is, do some research if you’re really interested in the subject. Decide for yourself and don’t let some e-thug tell you what to believe. His opinions are no more valid than your own.
Can i just say, even if the footage was not real it still made a good film, in my local cinemas 1 woman littlerely jumped out of her chair, but the thing that annoys me is where the main character is having a mental image in her head of being taken out her room… now it shows her being taken back asif to say she was pulled back, she states on the film that there was scratch marks on the floor… AND ALSO… why would the ‘Aliens’ go INSIDE the house and take them? where at the end they supposedly BEAM her THROUGH the house and into the ship.
Fail
All i wanna say is that this ANYA person is fuckin hilarious!!!
ok people.
seriously …
believe what you want.
i actually believe in aliens because nobody actually knows if theyre real or not.
theres alot of weird and strange things in this universe and nobody really knows for sure.
F.B.I. & government are definally going to cover stuff up about aliens.
they dont want everybody to freak out about it and stuff.
why do you think your not allowed to go to area 51?
they’re obviously hiding stuff they dont want you to see.
top secret stuff.
you tell me?
figure out how to become a worker at area 51 and actually do it,
then come back and tell me what you’ve seen.
im sure there hiding aliens and stuff there.
did you kno,
everytime theres a ufo sighting or somebody knows to much information about area 51 and aliens and sorts of stuff, these guys that are called “men in black” actually show up at your house and threaten you.
only if its something serious though.
but yea believe what you want.
theres evidence out there and proof where real alien life could be real.
maybe one day they will come to the planet and actually show themselves.
and when that day happens, you’ll know for sure. or IF it happens.
I like the comment about the “REAL FOOTAGE” and real footage actually being anything that is shot with a camera lol *THUMBS UP*
In regards to the movie and this footage I didnt make it and after reaing up on it this is all getting me aslightly confused! I believe that the footage is real or at least i hope it is… I also agree with the comment about some facts being left out as Alaska i mean NOME is more or less flat landscape so it was prabably shot there to make more creepy and add extra effect… the video would be distorted due to the space ships anti gravity possibly something to do with magnetism? to make it float and interference with the camera I dont know just something interesting to think about how you would actually defy gravity but then again maybe space ships are just advanced engines sch as jump jets they can hover! We are nearly there! kinda… lol
all in all the movie was fantastic in my opinion i enjoyed it and my friends did too
I b I may not be a believer in this footage or I might be Because I am skeptical as anybody should be until they see it for their self but I want to believe its true… i really do and im 50/50 =D
So Thumbs up to the fourth kind =)
PS: to the people who dont like this movie i think that you should stick to comedies you probably would enjoy them more imo as this was a good movie for any person into sci-fi according to reviews all over the internet and magazines
I don’t know if the events which the film claims to be based on are real or not. What i do know is that a lot of films claim to be based on real events but in actual fact, what it is based on is very little, such as places, or small 5 minute scenes in the film. However, I don’t seem to be able to believe that the footage in this film is real, simply for the fact that I don’t think the FBI would ever let it be released for open public viewing as it would cause panic in the public. For all I know, they may have written somewhere in the credits that the footage is not real. They will have to state if it isn’t, but that doesn’t mean it needs to be in big bold capitals.
Who knows ey.
“Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch?”
I am one of those few that have seen various ships with my own eyes and just because you haven’t seen or haven’t been affected by something doesn’t mean it does not exist. Those that only believe we are the only ones in the universe are parasites that don’t even know what goes around the world they live in. I study ancient cultures including the Sumerians and all the different cultures of the ancient world had gods or supreme beings that eventually disappeared or never came back. Having a thing in common that they rode “clouds, chariots of fire, flying horses, etc”. Being ignorant in the most simplest of things, who do you think you are to say what is and what isn’t? Out of 6,692,030,277 inhabitants of this world most of you ignore what fully happens in the life of 2 of those 6 billion, so how would you know if this hasn’t happened to at least one human?
Most people disagree with there being life in other planets and with space ships coming and going into earth, but why doesnt that people investigate with the French and the English government which has released all the paperwork to the public referring unidentified flying objects and other sightings? By the way the term ufo was made up by our governments to refer to vehicles and other flying craft that wasnt identified, so if they didnt exist why would the term UFO exist?
Well said Bryant! I totally agree with your statement there, it would be naive to think that we are alone. The governments have released documents and archives relating to UFO’s and the unexplained which to be honest are explained! Its explained by extra terrestrials visiting us from other planets.
Our technology boom has hit us within the last 100 years, who says another planet like ours had their technology boom 500 years ago or 1000 years ago and their technology is that much more advanced allowing them to travel here… something to think about i guess.
There are too many sightings and proof which is all around us, to be able to say simply… its a lie. It cant be and bryant i too believe I have seen something unexplainable Wales UK 6 years ago a strange cloud formation very bright and orange/red of colour I know it is not the typical flying saucer but Maybe it was some weather thing strangest thing is this was moving around and around and eventualy after 40-50 minute it dissapeared… very strange…
Rach I agree… films are a bit over reacted kinda and to think that we cant find this kind of thing on the internet then… well everything is on the internet I have searched everywhere for a legit source, cant find at all. but yeah… maybe it is real maybe not… somebody should search the credits and let us know =D lol
The term “real footage” could be any footage right? like any movie that is made is real footage so they may have used that heh… but it said archived footage, which means the footage has been documented previous to the film therefore it has not been made especially for the film.
Anythoughts about that?
Bryant, you are absolutely right. Statistics go from a wide range, and the probability that something like that could happen to you is relatively small, but very possible. People sound so ignorant sometimes. They choose not to believe when evidence and statistics favor the believers. Besides all those encounters; science reveals a lot. I mean do you know that one of Saturn’s moons contains water and a high viscous atmosphere of methane. That’s signs of beginning vegetation life on a baby planet. Also, you are right about the ufo coming from the government. It stand for Unidentified Flying Object. It doesn’t half to be aliens to be a ufo, but I’m pretty sure you already knew that.
Shuan that does make a lot of sense, but they also said it was an reenactment.
Thank you all for aiding my procrastination. Because I have many more vastly uninteresting things to do, I will contribute.
Why were all of Dr. Tyler’s clients screaming about the aliens opening the door when later in the movie they just send a beam of light THROUGH THE FUCKING CIELING and suck up their prey or whatever? These aliens don’t really seem like the type to use doors, am I right?
Its just something to think about. Honestly, I don’t give a holy flying fuck if this is real or not, because either way Im scared shitless.
Here’s another topic of discussion, the whole “I AM GOD” thing? Okay no. You are not God you alien scumbag. Does anyone else think this is going a bit to far?
hilarious? She/he is a moron who doesn’t realize the reason anon wouldn’t continue reading Anya’s post is because when attempting to call someone a dumbass (I hope) Anya called them a dubmass…this was even quoted directing and the genius still didn’t get it. I can’t believe I read it’s posts…think little girl or teen boy level mentality here and I wish I was abducted as to avoid such idiocy. Children are depressing.
Hmmm, I’ll have to agree with Nick on this one. I am pretty darn hilarious!!! It’s very amusing to see people going crazy over me.
Oh, and i really thought that’s how dubmass was spelled.. oops, my bad. I guess I need to go to school and get my edumacation on so I could be even more effective for this blog! yay
It seems this planet has enough problems without some inconsistent (door abusing) aliens. I mean take the children on this blog - that’s right, i’ll lower myself to a generalization - ON-YA-RA said it right with “children are depressing”, one kicked my friends wing mirrors off becuase he wouldn’t saerve him in a fast food restaraunt, GRAND!
The children of the future indeed, I hope they’re all adbucted. Going out and looking up at the sky, makes you jealous doesn’t it. Where I live there’s always a clear night (unless it’s cloudy) and the stars are always out, you see trails of light all over the place from little comets and whatnot, it’s fascinating. Then BANG you look at Earth again with all those pretty little lights and smoking cars, trains and planes. It’s a damn ugly sight. I say, all the nice people, the pascifists and the charitible, gather in a field and ask to be abducted, beats being here…… Surely.
“take the children on this blog - that’s right” - Immaturity. I love life along with my surroundings
PS: Raise your children correctly; in a nice environment and they will turn out brilliant. Take the children from where I come from for example, Kind and caring with good educations and loving parents and a bright future ahead of themselves. Generalization is bad in my opinion.
Its only the minority, who cause trouble ^_^
I saw the movie last night. It sucked. Fake crap. Fake characters. Fake footage. Boring movie. People walked out throughout the movie. I had trouble staying awake and nearly fell asleep several times. This movie is a real bore.
Excellent movie, no one really knows if aliens do exist, so with that said “KUDOS” to our government for keeping it that way. I DO BELIEVE.
I don’t think anyone here doesn’t believe there are other forms of life in our universe. Our ever-expanding, infinitely widelargehugeginormicenormous universe.
I agree with mitch. At least at some point. He said that “the aliens were just playing with your fears by saying stuff like ‘I am God’”, which is funny because that’s exactly the same comment I left on another website. Why would the alien want intimidate you like that. There may be reasons unknown to us as to why they’d want to intimidate you and freak you out, like they’re bullies messing with out inferior heads, I mean hey, we have no clue. We’re not supposed to know. But we all have the right to think it’s unlikely… Not impossible, nothing is impossible, but definitely… Very unlikely. The dislocated jaw was creepy, and pretty believable. The actual footage REALLY looked like it was real. Though there’s always the thing to debate: Isn’t it convenient that the alien encounter recorded was a very creepy one, and the aliens were hostile, mysteriours and intimidating() Funny, because that’s exactly the kind of thing that people would like to watch on the movies, and research, then maybe watch the movie again like that girl Anya just to nitpick on things like the furniture. Why aren’t the Chilbolton crop circles made a movie out of() Because those aren’t the aliens people want to see. They want to see bloodthirsty, superior, hostile, intimidating and mysterious aliens.
Again, the bloodthirsty, superior, hostile, intimidating and mysterious aliens are definitely, maybe real (assuming there have been alien encounters in Nome), but it’s still very convenient to filmmakers.
NOTE, BIG NOTE: () <- this is my question mark. Stupid keyboard is broken.
what i am wondering is if any of you ppl that are arguing over whether a movie is real or not realize how pathetic that is
it was fake.
Everyone in this world has turned out to be such non-believers and only believe in themselves. Of course there is something out there, if there weren’t many things on earth could not have been created as well as earth itself. I can’t believe how people within the human race can solely believe that they are truly the only intelligent beings within the entire universe. I believe with all my heart that people are abducted and are used for experiments because I know damn well if an alien crash landed on this planet…which I am pretty sure has already occurred for no one including aliens and humans are perfect, that we would dissect them, analyze there blood, there source of energy and whatever else we would be so curious as to learn and find.
Has anybody ever thought of human beings living across the galaxy. I’m not talking about humanoids; I’m talking about real human beings. I mean think about it, if we hear a lot of conspiracies of our species being abducted, whose their not to say that we haven’t been abducted and brought to other planets, where their we have reproduced. We have found other planets that consist of other elements, but we have found planets where their elements resembles ours. So they say its possible to sustain our way of life on other planets.
Just one question to the writer of this article: Do you believe everything the media and the authorities say? C’mon, do some research on the subject. Whether the footage is completely (or partially) fake or real isn’t the issue. The big picture here is that it could happen, or has happened already in different places all over the world, and that’s what really makes you consider things when you watch this film.
Real or Fake:
After watching the film I decided to do a bit of research to help ease my mind, but let me start with the answer to the most obvious question that this forum was created for. I believe the movie was simply based on a few real events. Though the found footage somewhat sketchy (IMO) once I get a chance to be able to rewind and snap frames to see one girls theory about the lamp. (sorry I only scanned over the post and didn’t fully read them.)
I want to explain something that really has happen to me. (Though I am not saying I was abducted or anything of that nature.) The reason why I am saying this is because it relates to some of what was mention to how the people physicaly felt in the film. like 2 times during my childhood I woke up and was not able to move my body or even speak. I was fully awake and aware, and I was able to move my lips and strained to yell for help, but couldn’t. I did not see anything cause when I was young I was frighten of aliens or the thought there of; for I always slept with my covers over my head. This also happened to me again once when I was 17. After seeing this film only made me remember those times, and because of that it creeped the hell out of me.
As far as the language of the supposed aliens being the Sumerian would make since if you believe that we where created by them. Or infact influenced by aliens at that time in history. Oddly enough some religious people believe our idea of aliens are just simply demons. That during that time Lucifer tried to influence us to think he was our god, but those are mostly the cooks that haven’t even read the old king James version of the bible and studied it.
The movie did use a real basis of knowledge behind it which could give it more truth then a lot of people claim it has. As the one language guy said in the movie; The Sumerian’s oddly due show alot of strange things in there hyroglyphics. Simply google Sumerian.
Now as far as the belief of other complex life I will simply put a quote one person once said. I wish I could remember who it was. ” To think that we are the only life in this entire universe is a very close minded opinion.” why don’t you all google NASA and the planet they have found on another galaxy that has clouds,what seems to be water, and land just like our planet. One of our deep space telescopes found it. There are tons of news articles on that.
Well I apologize for my spelling errors as for the life of me even at my age I am a horrible speller, and I know that some people take offense to that, and even go as far as belittling me or categorizing me as someone with only a 4th grade level of knowledge. As far as that goes there is my 2 cents on the subject.
Thanks,
I just half to comment on the subject one last time, real or fake? Everybody should know what animation is. The fact is even though it could look really real, you still can tell that its fake. However, in those footage’s, you can see that they were physically people. I’m going to school to be a science major. Mainly Physics (the study of energy), and I am a very observant analyzer. For an example, the signal disruption that caused the distortion in the video was caused by a EMW (Electromagnetic Wave). If some one asks I will get into detail on how I know this, but basically it increased the consumption of electricity that upset the balance between the contrast ratio (the balance between light and darkness that specifies a color). You will be surprised how much sense this movie makes.
I was looking for articles on conversational hynosis, believe it or not, when I came across your great post which got me thinking and lead me to what I was looking for. Strange world isn’t it.
There are a few things I think need to be addressed. First and foremost is the veracity of this movie. Whether it is a compilation of true and related events or a complete work of fiction is up to you to decide. That is the hook of the movie. The questions and debates that it raises are the whole point of making a movie like this. I personally beleive in this phenomenon. I believe that something very strange and frightening happened in Nome, Alaska in October of 2000. Either a Psychologist went bat-shit crazy after her husband killed himself or there were some documented abductions and people’s lives were changed forever. The question is, have any of you been to Nome, Alaska and asked around about it? Didn’t think so. Neither have I. Therefore I, personally have an unfounded belief that the events are true and did infact take place. I am also a believer in Hollywood’s ability to do some very tricky and deceptive things. If you don’t believe, you are not a “fucking idiot” or a dumb-ass. You are entitled to your own oppinion. Just be alittle more open minded.
Strat:
The sleep thing you are talking about is actually pretty common. I am a RPSGT ( Registered Polysomolographic Technologist) and it is called “cataplexy”. It is a symptom of narcolepsy but I really would’nt worry about it. I have had it several times and it is nothing.
Just watched the movie….i liked the docu-re-enactment concept..as far as i’am concerned , it was overall a better movie than “paranormal activity”..They should change the title to “pathetic activity” , that would better describe the movie.i think too much hype over a sub-par flick.Too boring ,overated , and definitley not scary…lol
“The Fourth Kind” delivered.Regardless what any one person might say about the flick, it made me jump a couple of times…lol…along with everyone else..lol
As far as whether or not the footage is faked or real, I’am not sure…there’e at least a couple scenes during the movie where the “real” footage is eeringly believable, if not down right creepy..l
if certain “real” footage scenes were faked,they done a superb job in my mind.And the bodily possessions in the footage,well,if they are really actors,nominate them for academy awards, because they’re performances sent a solid chill up my spine…lol
Aliens should be the furthest thing from your minds because your country is about to get its guts stompped the fuck out. Your arrogance that this cannot or will not happen seals your fate.
the film is inspired from reality. who ever seen Nome knows that is true.
Ken, are you speaking from experience?
The film its self tries to hard for my liking the fake footage really does not look real and the (actress) who plays the doctor has been in other films.
That said the film is worth a watch and if you dont take it to seriously you should enjoy it.
Usually, when you start a project like that, you make a documentary, not a hollywood blockbuster. Just a fact that this “true” story was turned into a blockbuster, rather than a sensible documentary leads to a suspicion that it’s fake.
not my experience. But I know people who have been experienced “things”, creepy enough to get crazy any of us.
Well Ken, I was asking if you have been to Nome? I was asking because its a very small town. Its one of those places where everybody knows everybody.
after seeing stupid not scary movies like paranormal activity this was just great. i don’t know if it’s real but it did scared me so it was worth my money.
this movie was great, the people here trying to sound all high and mighty talking about its fake, well all I got to say to you is, go live in your sheltered lives, continue to think that in the vast space that is beyond the planet earth, various solar systems etc etc, that we are the only life form. To think we are the only life OUT THERE, is some what egotistical.
If you want to believe it, believe it, if you want to get all pissy and defensive cause people have the CHOICE to believe if they want to, all I can say to you is get a life, its not that serious. Your not going to die any sooner just cause guy B says “I believe”
I have some info maybe it’ll give u a hint or something, about the ancient languages, we have them in our history books(highschool history books, I dont remember the exact garde it was several years ago) and we have stuff in our museums.one of them we call “Nail language” cuz the alphabets look like nails. and there r some translations, ofcourse the books r in Farsi I donno if u can search them up or not. we call it “khatte mikhi” in farsi, if it makes it easier to search…
the other languages, I know little of since I aint no specialist but if anyone was intrested I can find stuff 2 give a hint about.
about the footages I’m not sure, but I know that if they arent real there r laws that they MUST inform the audience.
guys theres a ritual(i hope i’m using the right word) so common here most ppl know about, many youth try it, many curious university students unfortunately. me included. “SOMETHING” marks some alphabets on a piece of paper as communication.Crap! creepy! but true. in rare ocasions some voices r heard. its so alike the voices in the movie. they call it the alien voice. they believe aliens arent just from space, they might be, but they call anything they dont have any clue of alien. the translation is “biganeh”. the voice in the movie reminded me of the voices I heard back then, made every hair on my body stand. I donno if its related but city of “Qazvin” is popular 4 this. the skies r so dark, not so many stars, no light, vast fields, no moon, clear sky,many use the sky advantage for scopes. I have heard many stories, I donno wether they r true…
I heard about this students there, they were scoping in the fields, something happened, they dont remember, all their hairs turned white. I assume u all know what does hair turning white mean. the story was on local newspapers, but nothing on national tv or paper.
I have no evidence on these comments, and I’m not intrested in this stuff. but the movie made me think.
I stated some words in farsi that they might help in a google search. I didnt search myself. its up 2 u what u find what u believe. I DONT KNOW. wether these things r true, I dont know what their cuase are but i do believe they just are
wether or not htis film is real the language does exist and some of the gliphs are very unuasual, the citys they built were once possible to build and then they couldnt no longer make them, which causes some concern over the fact of who helped them. lets not forget the cover up at roswell were the government paid of the residents of that area to shut up. at the end of the day aliens are real and there not green little things that wanna tear your butcrack open. they are extremly intelligent, if they have the power to come here which would be very unlikly as we predate therre knowledge. but you would have to be a retard to think that ALIENS dont EXIST
Well all i know is that i have studied the behavior expresions and other ways to tell when people are lying/acting and one of them is that actors and liars will usually look (as you r looking at them) to the left… up and right are Visually Remembered Images…. directly to the right are Auditory Remembered… and down and to the right are Internal Dialogs. during the film i tried to find one incidence of the “alias real dr tyler” and could not find one. all i am saying about this is when a true story goes movie and they really want to remain anonamous they can usually keep things like details off the web by having anything about the story typed in going through such scrutiny by web maintenance that it doesnt have time to circulate…? just sayin dont be so judgemental because somewhere down the line u may have a story and might want to in every way possible keep your name out of it.
I just watched this film last night and it really made me freak out but now I feel a bit silly after reading all these comments. Is she really just an actress?? Is it all faked?? I hope not because if it is then I will feel really angry to have been mislead into thinking this was real by the makers. It scared me so much and made a believer out of me when watching it so I think it’s unfair to make out it’s real footage etc if it’s not. It’s one thing to try and create a good scary film but to make out that it is showing ‘real’ events and ‘real’ evidence if it’s not is just plain misleading and this should not be allowed.
