Like most of the episodes of the X-Files, and virtually every movie M. Night Shamyalan has delivered, this was a monumental let down.
The trick of blending alleged 'actual footage' and 'actual recordings' made you think, for a while at least, that something was actually happening. When you realize nothing has happened, and nothing is likely to happen, you start thinking about filing this along with The Day The Earth Stood Still and The Happening (possibly the least accurately named film of all time, seeing as absolutely nothing happened).
(Close Encounters of the) Fourth Kind refer to alien abductions, so the complete absence of Aliens, or Abductions somewhat invalidates the entire movie.
The fact that this is set in Nome, one of the bleakest and dullest parts of the USA, goes some way in explaining the movie.
