I’m a huge X-Files fan and I think this, by far, the worst “episode” I’ve ever seen. When it ended I sat in the theatre trying desperately to find some hidden meaning, someting I’d missed. I couldn’t believe how terrible it was, especialy the ending. Then, at the end of the credits, as the camera pans over the world and comes to rest on Mulder and Scully in a boat wearing bathing suits, and they wave mockingly at the camera, I had a theory: they must have made it bad on purpose!!! Maybe they were tired of being bugged for the movie and didn’t want to be asked to make another. Maybe I’m so starved for a story that I’m making one of my own, but does anyone else think this is possible? Doesn’t it seem impossible for the geniuses who put out nine years of absolute gold to put out a full lengnth movie this awful. It’s not just bad compared to the X-Files, but for any movie!

I found the movie to be very dull. I never thought I would say that about the X-files. I didn’t care about any of the storylines. I escpecially hated the Scully storyline with the kid with the brain problem & it was just soooo boring.

I think the trailers for the movie were a bit misleading as they made it seem like there were going to be aliens and whatnot, and it was disappointed that the only thing “X” was Billy Connolly having a few physic visions.

Yeah, it was great to see Skinner, and saving him for the end was cool, but it was such a lame moment that its hard to enjoy it. Oh well.

I think Chris Carter’s direction of this thing was amateurish, even by comparison to most of his work. I like that that it was low budget but everything about the look of this movie felt off. The plot was extremely anti-climatic, so, your right, the only real appeal is seeing these characters back again.

I’m a huge X-Files fan, and I must agree with you. I was definitely looking forward to this movie, yet I knew it couldn’t be THAT good. And it wasn’t. The acting and the way the film was made were very good, but the plot was terrible. I could’ve come up with a better storyline. The main theme of the film is faith, but that’s already been covered in the wrapping up of the series years ago. There was no climax. I liken Chris Carter to a poor man’s George Lucas. The only thing I got out of this movie was the joy of seeing Mulder, Scully and Skinner. I just would’ve liked to have seen something special that could appeal to all audiences, at least the Dark Knight is badass.
