The definitive American television series of the '90s comes to the big screen with an anticlimactic whimper. And how could it be otherwise? Why should material so perfectly realized in one medium necessarily translate well into another? The series is crisply and thoughtfully executed in just about every detail, but the heart of its appeal lies in the elegant handling of complicated and evolving ongoing story lines, which is not something movies are especially good at. The big-screen drive for closure cramps the creative style, though it may also help nonfans get a grip on the proceedings. We do get some invigorating thrills and chills, however, and a more satisfying sense of the scale of an all-enveloping human-alien conspiracy than ever before, but there's no more plot development here than in an average two-part season-ending. FBI black sheep Mulder and Scully have been temporarily transferred from the X-Files project to an anti-terrorist unit to investigate an Oklahoma City-style bombing. They uncover a new wrinkle in the Syndicate/Cancer Man conspiracy--basically an attempt to help one bunch of (benign?) aliens fight off another bunch who want to colonize Earth. A spectacular, ice-bound finale thrillingly staged by series-veteran director Rob Bowman offers Mulder (but not a conveniently unconscious Scully) his first clear look at a You Know What, which in some quarters qualifies as an epochal event. Martin Landau offers the agents some crucial clues, and several familiar TV faces (including the Lone Gunmen and Mitch Pileggi's indispensable Assistant Director Skinner) turn up briefly to wink knowingly at faithful fans. --David Chute

My wife is a huge fan of the show so I got her this as a gift she loved it and said it fit in well with the series.
 Worst disc ever December 14, 2009

My review does not apply to the film itself. The movie I like but the Blu-ray release is the worst Blu-ray/dvd I have ever purchased or tried to watch. The disc is rife with errors and the loading time is aggrivating. The one saving grace to this Blu-ray disc was the sound, which until toward the end of the film, was outstanding. At the end of the film the sound became distorted.
The retail price on Fight the Future is only $16.99. I'm beginning to wonder if there is a reason for such a low price. I think this Blu-ray was produced on the cheap. A shame since the film itself is pretty cool.

Good movie for the x-files fan. Still some questions remain. How did Mulder get to Antarctica and how did the duo get back?

Loved and enjoyed this movie, highly recommend it. Audio & sound are so much better on Blu-Ray, loved it even more after watching it. I love Scully and Mulder, they have a great chemistry and looks good together. Great job, Chris Carter, and thank you! ENJOY !!!
