not as good as all the hype

Good idea lost in the noise

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Hear ye, hear ye, this here 'movie' is a delicacy in Singapore. Us folk watch it 'round the clock. Us even got 'er installed on the ship. I'm the Captain of this here vessel, now dubbed the '5th Kind.' I hope ye find yer treasure in this here movie experience, matey.

There's not a lot to say. The acting is terrible. The film is a bore; it's seriously a real snooze-fest. I would say this is one of the worst movies I've ever seen in my life, and it might be. I used to think that "The Room" was one of the worst movies ever made, but I think this movie sucks more than "The Room". Again, there's not really much to say about this stupid film. It's nothing like The Blair Witch Project. It's nothing like Paranormal Activity. It's not even worthy of being called a found-footage movie. Avoid this film. There are better things to watch.

This movie is so terrible that i legitimately took the time to download the IMDb app, and create an account just so that I could warn people not to watch this trash pile of a movie. I sat through the first 30 minutes bored out of my mind. It was so slow paced that when I fast forwarded it 20 minutes nothing new had happened at all. The interview segments were boring, confusing, and grating. Noting interesting happened until there was only like 15 minutes left of the movie, and then it was not well scripted and difficult to understand what was even supposed to be happening. All together this movie was the worst thing I've ever seen. It doesn't engross you, in fact for most of the time you feel like you're watching your old cringe worthy middle school vlogs you and your friends made to be cool. I can't believe I wasted part of my life watching this eye vomit of a movie. Do yourself a favor and pass on this one.

I really enjoyed this movie! If you're in the mood for a creepy alien movie, this is it. Definitely reminds me of The Blair Witch Project and has that eerie "don't go into the woods" feel. Was dragged in by the characters story line and became invested quickly. The cinematography was well done and the effects were great and had me believing the cameras were truly glitching. Well done, guys!
