   Good movie. Not great, but good and definitely worth watching. I am a long time X-files watcher and I watched it with my girlfriend who has never watched X-files. My girlfriend even liked it. Probably because there were no aliens in it :). You will feel left with some unanswered questions and a not fully explained plot, but a sense that you know where Scully and Mulder are these days and an entertaining murder-mystery.… Expand

   I can see everyone's problem with this film. When something carries a cult name like X-Files people expect a certain degree of escapism and adventure as in the first film and this unfortunately hasn't happened here.

   I have watched every episode of every season of the television show. When I heard the this movie was going to be considered a stand alone plot that had nothing to do with the Conspiracy Theories that were at the heart of the show (and thus would not involve Aliens) I was automatically disinterested. That is, quite simply, a stupid idea, especially when true fans have waited for so long. So when it came out on DVD, I rented it with low expectations. But even by those standards, I was still disappointed. This was not an interesting or engaging plot. And it moved at such a slow pace. Even if they would have fit it down to be an episode of the television series- it would have moved faster- but it would not have been considered anywhere near their best material. I just don't understand how Chris Carter thought this was a good idea. I kept nodding off near the end, and quite honestly, don't know exactly how the movie ended. I was too bored to rewatch what I had missed. I give it a 4 because I thought parts of it were interesting (although very little) and David Ducovney and Gillian Anderson did good jobs with what they had to work with.… Expand
