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

Let's just hope they got the transfer done nice and clean this time (Blu-Ray) as the THX anamorphic release done a few years ago(This one) had picture problems with Fight the future. No matter where I purchased it.(8 different copies) They all had the same problem. Maybe you won't see it. A line going across the screen just above the middle of the picture for the first half of the movie.(Seemed to be a layer problem as when the layer changed at the dead end road before the train scene it went away) FOX says we have never heard about or seen this problem but they would not watch the disc when I ask them to as well. THX won't even respond as well. The first release that was letterbox (4x3) format was clean no problem there but the anamorphic picture is much better when made correctly plus they added DTS to that as well. I have high hope's it will look great on Blu-Ray. We will see. If you don't need the DTS and just want a clean picture you might look to purchasing the 4x3 letterbox one.
Good movie June 27, 2008

My family has recently become huge fans of the X-files TV show (thanks to reruns on the Sci Fi channel), so we were excited to see that they had actually released a movie back in the late 90's. I read several of the bad reviews that this movie received, but we really liked it when we first watched it. True, it's a little different from the TV series in that it was hard for them to try & fit in all of the usual cast members, but overall, we were really surprised at just how much we liked this movie. It was very suspenseful & it kept us rivited to the very end. Can't wait to see the new 2008 movie version as well!
