2/4
"Conspiracy theorists who've exhausted their X-Files DVDs will be happy, though I can't say the same for Mr. and Mrs. Moviegoer."  ReelTalk Movie Reviews  A. J. Hakari

3/5
"a smart-ass slap in the face"  Filmcritic.com  Bill Gibron

2/10
"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."  CampBlood.org  Brian Juergens

1.5/4
"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."  Sci-Fi Movie Page  Brian Orndorf

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

"Where is Fox Mulder when you need him?"  PopMatters  Cynthia Fuchs

2/4
"...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."  DustinPutman.com  Dustin Putman

C-
"When so many films are bad in lazy and ordinary ways, it's refreshing to occasionally see one that fails interestingly."  Film.com  Eric D. Snider

"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."  AMCtv.com  Eugene Novikov

F
"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."  Redbox  James Rocchi

"Parental Content Review"  Screen It!  Jim Judy

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"  7M Pictures  Kevin Carr

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

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."  eFilmCritic.com  Peter Sobczynski

D
"As Truth, it's bullshit, and as Bullshit, it isn't remotely entertaining."  Mania.com  Rob Vaux
