The X Files Movie

The long-running sci-fi television series gets the big-screen treatment in this thrilling feature film. When a terrorist bomb destroys a building in Dallas, Texas, FBI agents Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) are drawn into a dangerous conspiracy surpassing anything they've ever encountered. With the dubious assistance of a paranoid doctor (Academy Award-winner Martin Landau), Mulder and Scully risk their careers and their lives to hunt down a deadly virus which may be alien in origin--and could destroy all life on earth. Their pursuit of the truth pits them against the Cigarette-Smoking Man (William B. Davis) and the mysterious Syndicate, powerful men who will stop at nothing to keep their secrets safe. The agents journey from a cave in Texas to the halls of the FBI and, finally, to a covert installation in Antarctica, where Mulder witnesses some shocking events.

    Want more than just X-Files series?

    This is not just another episode!

    This movie is far more exiting than the series. It starts with Scully and Mulder being back on the street with the FBI’s bomb squad but soon chasing for Mulder’s favourites subjects: Aliens.

    Yes, you get to see loads of these creatures and even their big ship hidden underground.

    Well made as are the series with loads of action from the start to end with a bit of fun as you would expect from Fox Mulder.

    Get It!

    The truth is here (some of it).

    Duchovny and Andersen show off their great chemistry, and old school mobile phones, in this paranoia and intrigue laden film of the TV show franchise. Scully is her relentlessly sceptical self whilst her conspiracy loving partner frequently demonstrates his subtle, dry comic wit, showing Duchovny as a greatly talented, and sadly underrated, actor. The film did seem to run a bit long, and was rather reminiscent of Duchovny's later made tongue-in-cheek film EVOLUTION, but has a couple of very nice touches; including the casting of John Locke from LOST as a fellow FBI agent and Mulder, seemingly unknowingly, urinating on a poster for the film INDEPENDENCE DAY whilst waiting in a dark alley to meet a shady contact. It also provides a few saught after answers for hardcore fans, but as I only watched the odd episode on TV I wasn't actually too sure what these nagging questions were.

    The X-Files: I Want To Believe

    • 28 Jul 2008

    Ten years after the first X-Files movie, and seven years since the long-running TV show gave up the ghost; this sequel proves a grave disappointment. Yes, Mulder and Scully are back in the estimable forms of David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson, and yes writer-director Chris Carter is pulling the strings (along with X-perienced co-writer Frank Spotnitz), but somewhere in the snowy wastes of time the magic has vanished without a trace. Fans will be dismayed by a scenario involving minimal... Read more
