Summary: For the Philes and... everyone else!
Review: Not just for x-philes, Fight the Future is a great movie for even a person who has never heard of it.I find it to be one of thoughs movies that can be watched over and over again. There is always something more to pick up, details you've missed, more pieces of the puzzle to be put together. Being a "shipper" (wishes a relationship for Mulder and Scully) myself, I loved "the hallway scene", and how Chris Carter crushes the hearts of fans with his twisted sense of humor. I highly recommend this film to all x-philes, and I think any X-Files ignorant person would also enjoy it. But be prepared to think, this movie requires a bit more attention than "Independence Day".

Summary: Great effort from Chris Carter & Co.
Review: I thought this movie did a great job of tieing up any 'loose ends' from the show and gave you something to look forward to next season. I enjoyed the way the intergrated the movie into the series and wasn't like a Star Trek movie where the movie was totally different from the TV show except the characters. Great movie! Can't wait til 2001!

Summary: Some info on pan and scan vs. widescreen versions...
Review: Ok, so the movie wasn't as good as the tv show, but it was about what I expected so I wasn't disappointed. I'm sure most people interested in buying this video have some idea of the plot, etc. so I thought I would write something useful for those trying to decided between widescreen vs. pan and scan because I have seen both versions. If you have a big tv, I would definately reccomend the widescreen. But if you have a smaller tv, I would think twice about it because the widescreen is really narrow- much more narrow than the ads, which are midway width-wise between the pan and scan and widescreen versions. It depends on what you are buying the video for. If you are a purist, or are buying it just for the "bee scene" I would go with the widescreen (the bee scene is alot better on widescreen), but if you are going for general action flick entertainment, I would get the pan and scan version! Hope this helps!

Summary: Not just for X-Philes
Review: Okay, I only watched the first two seasons of the X-Files. I can't speak for all you X-Philes, but the average person who doesn't watch the show will like this movie. A great plot and good performances highlight this film. I can see why Gillian Anderson gets all that fan mail. A great movie for all sci-fi fans.

Summary: Eagerly awaiting the next film, in 2001
Review: I saw this film on opening weekend in New York in a large, reserved-seating theater full of X-Files nuts and their friends--a wondrous experience, truly--and this probably colors my opinion of the film. The knowledgeable, enthusiastic crowd loudly applauded the first sight of Scully and Mulder, cheered Scully's authoritative line "Don't think. Just pick up that phone and make it happen.", and whistled at the fade-in of the Lone Gunmen. The enthusiasm was most definitely contagious, for though I walked into the theater liking the X-Files (my needful weekly dose of weirdness in a conformist workplace), I walked out truly inspired by that sense of the heroic that the best X-Files stories occasionally capture. Then I became an X-Files nut, too. Lucky for me, the FX Network began playing "100 Nights of the X-Files" shortly after the film was released and I caught up with everything. The gaps in logic did make me wonder: how did Mulder get to the Antarctic, and without flying into someone's radar? How did Dr. Kurtzweil know all that he knew, anyway? And how convenient for Scully to miss seeing the--ahem!--significant object. Though I like the film a bit less after viewing it several times on VHS, the film does achieve the fine balance of attracting viewers new to the X-Files as well providing a significant installment to the long-running story line for well-established nuts. Many critics new to the series appreciated the dynamic between the agents, as well as their fine, intelligent, quirky humor, and remarked that they will begin watching the series because of the film. Parting words: to X-Files nuts, please leave the stars alone and remember that it's the CHARACTERS you find appealing, not the actors! and savor the mystery as well as the answers. To the X-Files creators, THANK YOU for having Scully say in the Nov. 28, 1999 episode that the first day of the new millennium will dawn on Jan. 1, 2001, and not Jan. 1, 2000, as everyone else assumes.

Summary: Fun but lazy
Review: I really like the television series and had high hopes for this film. The problem is that while the writing is good enough, the plotting is laughably lazy. Coincidences and illogical events abound. So much so that by the half-way point I began to wonder if the film hadn't been cut from a much longer running time. Sorry, but this is just lazy, lazy, lazy. The writers and directors of the X-FILES are way better than this.

Summary: Not bad. Not great either.
Review: Those who haven't seen the show before will find this movie to be totally confusing. Even X-philes will be perplexed about what the deal is. I became a fan of the show for many reasons- series creator Chris Carter's unorthodox takes on society & myth, the acting of David Duchovney and Gillian Anderson, and the show's quirky humor. This movie really doesn't showcase any of those things. For the movie Carter wrote a decent story which never really breaks free from its moorings. The potential scope and grandeur of the story is hinted at but never seen. While the directing is decidedly second-rate, the music is quite good- appropriately dark and moody. Anderson & Duchovney make what they can of Agents Mulder & Scully, but the story too often leaves the Agents reacting to events more than acting upon them. The supporting cast is badly under-served as well. While Martin Landau has some nice scenes as Mulder's latest informant, the Lone Gunmen have little more than a cameo. Cigarette-Smoking Man & Skinner (both complex characters important to the show) are both left with small parts that are hardly relevant to the story. John Neville's Well-Manicured Man may have the best role in the movie as the man who brings Mulder closer to the truth than he has ever been. Based on this film, Fox's strategy of bringing the show onto the big screen seems fated to failure. Carter would do well to turn the screenwriting duties for his next film over to X-Files scribe Vince Gillighan or even Duchovney, a talented writer himself.

Summary: Overall, a very good movie
Review: Chris Carter+Co. did a fairly good job in making a film that would please fans of the series, and not be utterly incomprehensible to people who were seeing it for the first time. It would recieve five stars except for one thing--How did they get of Antarctica? Teleport? They should have added five extra minutes and SHOWN US HOW! Other than that, it's great!

Summary: Great, just like the series
Review: In the same mood as the serie itself, but even better (longer, better done etc). Captivating ! But beware... it's a bit scary from time to time (not for youngsters !).
