It has been ten years since the first X-Files movie and seven years after the X-Files TV series came to an end, finally tomorrow we will get to see The X-Files: I Want to Believe in theaters.
The new movie is a bit of a letdown really, as it seems like just a big budget version of the television series. That was all well and good back then, but it will not cut it in the cinemas today. I would have to say that the new movie is not that original.
The plot of the movie has been kept under close wraps by 20th Century Fox, but I am sure that fans of the show will be loyal and take the chance to see it, even though it has no originality.
The X-Files: I Want to Believe sees agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully played by David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson coming together once more, in what has to be said a slow and tired formula.
It has now been six years since Mulder and Scully left the FBI. Scully now works at a Catholic hospital, while Mulder, now a recluse still has an obsession with the paranormal. It is the disappearance of an FBI agent that unites the FBI duo once more.
For a full review of the movie head over to Reuters.
