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.
the move was a huge letdown, i just saw it a few a minutes ago and left the theater annoyed and confused. it has NOTHING to do with any kind of alien conspiracy, Mulder mythology, or anything about the alien invasion set for December 22nd, 2012 (the end of this cycle of the mayan calendar, i say this cycle because tis is not the first time it has ended, and started back over) but it is a popular theory that it abruptly ENDS there, though it does restart. all it is is a barely passable episode of x-files that is much, much to long for not being anything important to the series, and by barely passable i mean BARELY EVEN PARANORMAL. they had some kind of retarded psychic connection and they died at he same time….. BARELY PARANORMAL FOR X-FILES!!! and it ended shitty, with also no closure at all. i wish they had never made it, and taken just a few more years to add in Mulder mythology or alien conspiracy theories. its worth seeing… but not the $10 you have to pay to see movies now…. just rent it for 3 bucks less when its out on dvd… its such a huge letdown… i wanna go kill the damn producer… but at least he put skinner in there for a scene…. meh….. it still sucks.. SUCKS ASS
