1st kind: spotting UFOs; 2nd: evidence; 3rd: contact. This pseudo-intelligently presented malarkey awkwardly blends sci-fi and horror by alternating a story of alien abduction (4th kind) with fake documentary footage that we are ceaselessly and tiresomely reminded is real. Sometimes reenactments are presented alongside this footage in split-screen, which if anything lessens their impact and sabotages any possible character identification. Centers on a batty therapist (Milla Jovovich) who believes several of her patients have been abducted. Some nice imagery, but not scary and way too contrived.
