Such a frustrating disappointment
Good movie but grossly overrated
As Good As It Gets
This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
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.
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.
At its best found-footage horror can be exciting, tense & scare filled but at its worst it can be The Fifth Kind. With no redeeming features, The Fifth Kind breaks the cardinal rule of horror don't be boring. Seriously when are horror writers & directors going to realize that we don't want actors playing themselves. The whole reason we watch movies, watch horror is to be transported to another world. A world where anything can happen, where characters are larger then life & the situations they're in both shocking & imaginative. Watching this movie is not fun. It's not interesting, it's not good horror! This movie its story? It is absurd. Poorly acted, poorly filmed & poorly written, The Fifth Kind has zero redeeming features. It's boring & so unoriginal everyone involved should hang their heads in shame. This story is so poor that anything would have been preferable. I want my money back.
This movie is so ridiculously bad that it's shocking that anyone ever thought this was going to turn out even tolerable. The acting is dreadful, the plot is nowhere to be found and it doesn't even begin to make sense. The film has some of the most horrendous acting ever. It's a generic found footage film except it spices the formula up by making it extra dreadful. They managed to take a dump on any merit the original concept of found footage ever had. LIKE WHAT IS EVEN SUPPOSED TO BE GOING ON!? Miss this one.
