Customer Reviews of The X-Files (Movie) (Widescreen Edition)
Much Better Than Expected "The X-Files: Fight The Future" is the first attempt at transferring Mulder and Scully to the big screen. Though I enjoyed the original series, I was never a fanatic about it. In fact, when this film originally came out, I had no intentions of seeing it. Now that I finally have, I must admit that it is pretty good. It's full of cameos and tie-ins from the TV series that even a casual fan such as myself can pick up on, but you need not watch any of the series' episodes to enjoy this film. <
> <
>This movie really plays out like an extended TV episode with just tad better special effects. But, much like the series, this movie relies on the strength of the plot to peak the interest of the viewer. <
> <
>As in the series, there is a giant government cover-up going on. Fox and Scully are hot on the trail(as usual), and break a few rules along the way in order to gather information. There are leaks, men in black, men in HAZMAT suits, and unexplained, strange events. I can't say much more than that or I'll spoil the show. Just know that little green men are on the move and Fox and Scully are trying to stop them. <
> <
>The acting is superb, and the banter between Mulder and Scully is tight and witty as it ever was on the TV show. David Duchovny is comfortable in his role as the quirky, paranoid, and probably a little bit crazy Mulder. Gillian Anderson, whom I consider business-suit beautiful, gives another flawless performance as Scully. Martin Landau also makes an appearance as well as an abundance of recurring characters from the TV show. <
> <
>Odds are that if you enjoyed the series, you'll enjoy this film. It does begin to drag a bit about 110 minutes into the flick, but the ending picks things up and gets somewhat suspenseful. If you aren't familiar with the show, rest assured that you won't be anymore lost during the film than TV regulars and the characters in the movie. <

>Recommended to those who like sci-fi with a little bit of brains thrown in and anyone who loves a good mystery. <

>Potential Spoiler!!!! <

>This film becomes rather timely with the mention of a certain government group that appears to be the major catalyst for most of the conspiracy in this film. If you have heard of those two hurricanes that recently whipped up on the Gulf coast from Alabama to Texas(including my home of southwest Louisiana), you know which government group I'm talking about........
The truth? We can't handle the truth!
Now, when the series first started I was young enough to where I would have had to watch X-files with the lights on, if I had watched it all. But now that I'm older, and I've got some shows under my belt, I thought I'd give the movie a try and to tell you what I was pleased.

<
>Far too often movies based on TV shows, that actually have the same characters and similar plots, end up being misguided and well, weak. However, this film was a strong one, and I believe it guided the viewer to a new level of X-files that many fans at that point had probably been long in the waiting to see.

<
>And I'm not just talking about the Mulder/Scully relationship developing either, although the film touches on that to a degree. I just mean the X-files story as a whole. And sure, maybe the movie's plot could have been even a bit stronger, but it touched on loose ends from the series while giving new life to the characters, an accomplishment on it's own I'd say.

<
>So if you're a new fan, because I know all you old ones have seen it, then take a look. Of course, if you've never watched a show you won't be left out either, so take a look at the film if you will, because I think you'll enjoy it.

<
>Considering the amount of money that was obviously invested in this project wouldn't you think that they could have made the effort to come up with a decent script? Think again!
<

<
>There are more plot holes in this outing than I care to number but here's a couple:
<
>
<
>1. Why did the Arctic facility implode when Scully got injected with the serum? No reason that I can tell other than they had to draw this hokum to a close somehow.
<
>
<
>And 2. How did the pair get out of the Arctic alive? They were both wet through, Muldar had no coat and Scully had wet socks and no boots so they can hardly have walked out of there - and where did Scully's trousers come from anyway?! Moreover, nobody knew they were there so what chance was there of being found before they froze to death? I'll tell you - no chance!

<
>I sat through this for two hours for what? To have my intelligence insulted? Note to franchise co-ordinator: Must do better.
