Customer Rating: Summary: Worst X-file product ever Worst non-SF/film in 20 years. Comment: This hash was terrible, painful to watch as were the beloved characters we could no longer recognize through the layers self absorption, angst, indifference, depression, etc. It looks like it was shot on the cheap in and around Vancouver, eh? Mulder in crisis, Scully no longer loyal to mulder but she lives with him? (Or not?) Bad Body parts thieves, good stem cell research, bad Bush? Social/political commentary? PLEASE!
What happened to the evil government conspiracies? The Aliens? I want my science fiction! This reminded me of low budget horror flicks with depression and anxiety injected for flavor. Poor Mitch Pileggi gets randomly and inexplicably tossed in at the last half hour.
It's as if Carter got stuck in the depressive mire of Millenium, lost his bearings and stayed there. Someone called this a stand alone episode; I think it's more of a pile alone. What really makes this so bad, corny and almost unwatchable (like a trainwreck) is the fact that we all know Carter and crew are capable of so much, much more. They proved that for years. Then again, maybe not anymore. It's a great disappoinment. Customer Rating: Summary: One of The Worst Films of 2008 Comment: I am a big X Files fan. This is not an X Files movie, though. It's a very long episode of CSI. No aliens. No supernatural events. No monsters in the dark. Just a boring, plodding murder mystery. Save your money. Customer Rating: Summary: The first movie was much better Comment: For someone who really enjoyed the first X-Files movie, I was disappointed in this one. To spend years of the series in creating the alien conspiracy plot and not even use it is puzzling in itself. To have the first movie in a decade as basically an extended stand-alone weekly episode makes you question what the point in the movie was. It almost seems like they had two separate side plots with the priest and the transplant and they never really bothered to connect them well. The topical mini-plot regarding the ethics of stem cell research is really inexcusable to have included in the movie, as was the shameless product placement.
With all of this said, it is slightly refreshing to see a movie that didn't use computer special effects as a crutch. Good storytelling is one of the cornerstones of the original series. I hope the disappointing reviews don't prevent them from making another film but instead encourage them to develop a script more reflective of what made this show popular. I think they will have only another 3-5 years before Duchovny and Anderson are too old to fill these rolls. Customer Rating: Summary: Best SciFi movie of the decade Comment: My wife and I watched the original TV series of X-Files and loved the show. This movie brought back the good memories and more. We were on the edge of our seats as the suspense never stopped. Definitely Oscar material. Customer Rating: Summary: Glad I waited Comment: I waited until now to view the film and I am glad I did. After all the negative press my expectations were low.
The film is a stand alone and is not going to be liked by fans of the TV series looking for a continuation of the story, that is missing, which was fine by me.
Mulder has aged whereas I found Scully to be more attractive then during the TV series. The old chemistry still works.
If you are ok with this film being a long version of a stand alone episode go for it. If you are looking for "answers" from where the TV series ended you may be disappointed.
