disgrace to the series
long extended episode keeps you interested story was good but could have been direct to dvd. best thing was how terribly sexy gillian anderson still looks. N.D
I consider myself I pretty die-hard fan of the X-Files and found myself very let down by this movie. "Fight the Future" was much better. I think the story was good for an hour episode on TV, but for a movie I anticipated a larger plot/conspiracy to unfold. It seemed different with them not in the FBI anymore and I thought it was silly to through in Skinner right at the end of the movie! Poor Mitch! I still loved though seeing Mulder/Scully on the screen again...just wish the overall movie was more interesting. If there is a 3rd movie (as rumoured for 2012)I hope it's all about the alien colonization/black oil story because that would be awesome!
Any fan of X-Files would certainly appreciate this movie. I did leave the theater wanting more.
Ok, like a two hour x-files show. Same script, same aura. It was ok.
ruined the series... 1st half wasn't that bad, kind of got you into the mood and the story... towards the middle to end it started to get sooo terrible. mushy love story. this is why you don't EVER bring two main, popular characters together like that on screen. ruins the whole movie. blah
It was an OK X-Files episode. Not worthy of a movie, but still great for X-Files fans. I think they made a mistake by not making a movie based on the Alien story line, but hopefully they will make one of those soon enough!
ZZZZZZZZZZ......
In the tradition of the X-Files, this movie has a lot of suprising twists and turns; some that make you squrim. It also examines the unique relationship between Mulder and Scully which I really liked seeing.The true X-Files fan knows that the series was just not about aliens and monsters, but it examines the secrets that we all have. This film dives right into the shades of grey that is ever present with life. It is not for the new or inexperanced, but the seasoned fan who knows the nature of the chracters and the series.
I'm a huge X-Files fan and this movie was crap!! I truely expected more from Chris Carter!!
