Okay here goes. I have read all the review's and then read them again and I'm baffled that the majority gives this movie anything above 5. The acting from David and Gillian gets a 10 out of 10 but script gets 1 out of 10 As a X-files fan i was so let down by this movie half way through i gave up on my expectations of closure or an opening to future films. I think overall the biggest mistake Chris carter ever made was selling his "baby" to Fox entertainment because they have the power to take the very best and turn it into something mediocre and mainstream garbage. They gave a much smaller budget for the second movie than they did with the first it should be the other way around if u ask me. THANK U FOX FOR RUINING EVERYTHING! season 8-9 and now this movie. U might as well have left it in the gutter than giving Chris a crap budget so he goes and makes a movie like this.
I will first get into where the series stop with Scully giving up her baby and Mulder sentenced to death by lethal injection and the FBI infiltrated by aliens "disguised" as humans. The movie is about a psychic man that receives visions of a Female FBI agent that has been kidnapped. An agent "Amanda Peet" who believes this man obviously but still she sends an agent to ask Scully if she can find Mulder and that it might just save the life of an FBI agent and that if Mulder shows up all will be forgiven. HEY WAIT A SECOND! Mulder was sentenced to death by a lethal injection by a military court of law and just by believing in the psychic more than the other agent all is forgiven? that is so thin that its laughable. And what has happened in the 6 years where no one has asked questions in the FBI shouldn't it be run by aliens by then ? the final alien invasion was set to the year 2012 but this doesn't even come up. I mean if there suddenly aren't any threat from the aliens or the Super soldiers or anything then it seems kinda senseless that Scully would have to give up her baby in the first place. And as the aliens aren't directly tied to the FBI and still wanting to get rid of Mulder how can the threat suddenly be gone? What made X-files so special was for one the Cancer man/smoking man/ CGB spender/William B. Davis. where he would walk into the pentagon lockup stashing crucial evidence of the existence of "E.T" life thus ending the episode. Now that was cool!
All of these questions were flying around my head when i walked into the movies and as half the movie had rolled across the screen i couldn't help but to let out a large sigh. Scully gives up her baby because of the threat the alien super soldiers poses but 6 years later all is fine and they get to play house i mean it cant be only me who thinks that is extremely vague and down right stupid.
And as for the movie it self Scully goes to Mulder and she has to persuade him into helping the FBI finding the missing agent and finally Mulder agrees and then later on in the movie Scully has a fit on Mulder for getting the case under his skin as he always does and causing a huge drama between them? Why even go to Mulder telling him FBI wants his help if she clearly does not want him to have anything to do with "the darkness" of solving a crime thats just dumb and poor script writing. Second the main villain and the main theme is so weird once u think about it. Its a gay man who is trying to save his lover from cancer by abducting people with the same blood type to change the cancer infected body parts with new fresh ones? WHAT? YEA YOU HEARD ME! u actually see his head is still alive just by keeping a blood flow to the brain? not even in the "bad" episodes of season 1 did they come up with anything this stupid. Id rather watch season 8 and 9 than this movie.
It has been said in all the interview's that the movie is about Mulders and Scullys relationship but who cares about them playing house? that being said David and Gillian delivers some stunning acting as always. But its totally lost on this crap movie. Why cast actors like Amanda Peet "who got famous by getting naked in a movie" and Xibit who is a rapper if I'm not mistaken. Kinda gives the feeling that u didn't think very highly of the movie before u started making it. What made the X-files so popular was the mythology about aliens and conspiracy not the Mulder/Scully relationship not that it didn't add a lot to the show but thats not what the Fans "philes" have been waiting for. But yea i don't know how you could save it since u killed William B. Davis off the show. But any given fan could have writing or at least come up with better ideas for a movie than what you have delivered.
CHRIS U OWE US A MYTHOLOGY MOVIE AND FOX ENTERTAINMENT BACK THE F... OFF AND GIVE HIM THE BUDGET HE NEEDS! He let u milk his baby for 2 seasons more than it should have lasted now u should give him what he asks for no matter what it is. People aren't going to get hooked on X-files over a drama suspense thriller that has absolutely nothing to do with the mythology......
WE WANT TO BELIEVE!
