"Conspiracy theorists who've exhausted their
X-Files
DVDs will be happy, though I can't say the same for Mr. and Mrs. Moviegoer."

"a smart-ass slap in the face"

"In short,
The Fourth Kind
pisses on your leg, tells you it's raining, and then tries to sell you a raincoat made of dog hair and corn chips."

"Attempting shock value and extraterrestrial disturbance to generate a cult smash,
Kind
will likely tire audiences before it ever has a chance to swindle them."

"...even if "The Fourth Kind" came out ten years ago it still wouldn't stand up to overrated "Blair Witch Project.""

"...
The Fourth Kind
clearly would've benefited from a more conventional approach..."
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
3/4
"In a land of recycled ideas and remakes,
The Fourth Kind
is a valiant original, no matter how deceptive it may ultimately be."

"When so many films are bad in lazy and ordinary ways, it's refreshing to occasionally see one that fails interestingly."

"What I want is to commission a remake of
The Fourth Kind
, this time by someone who is more concerned with storytelling than with showing off."

"If you're gullible enough to accept the backstory given here, you're probably the sort of person who'll take Criswell's assurances that
Plan 9 from Outer Space
is based on sworn testimony at face value."
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
2/4
"Not entirely uninteresting, but it suffers from some ill-advised decisions. In fact, the film's "hook" may be its greatest detraction."
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
2/5
"There's an intriguing idea here... but The Fourth Kind is so clumsy and clunky and stiff it's like watching someone attempt an intricate card trick while wearing oven mitts."

1.5/5
"nothing more than a science fiction version of a Michael Moore movie. It makes wild claims that it's the utter truth, and if you go in with blinders you might like it"

"I'd love to be at a screening of "The Fourth Kind" in Nome, where it's sure to be greeted as a comedy."

1/4
"A lot of nothing happens in
The Fourth Kind
."
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
"This is the same kind of put-on as the low-budget phenomenon
Paranormal Activity
. Except it's far more effective (at least at first)."
Flick Filosopher
MaryAnn Johanson
2/5
"Musters all its strength to set up a purportedly true-life scenario about alien sightings, only to give itself away at every turn."
Film Threat
Matthew Sorrento
1/5
"If aliens from another world ever do come to Earth and get a look at "The Fourth Kind," they may decide that any species capable of creating anything this dumb is probably too stupid to probe and conquer in the first place."

"As Truth, it's bullshit, and as Bullshit, it isn't remotely entertaining."
