Summary: Subsequent TV Episodes have diminished the Initial Impact
Review: I was never an X-Files fan. I started watching the show in preparation for the film's release. Originally I thought it was a good movie and pretty good science fiction. However, after watching subsequent Television episodes it became apparent that the events in the motion picture were hardly significant to the ongoing plot. It seems that in order to get the show renewed every year the producers have to cut and paste over past events to redefine their significance or actually redefine what we think we and the other characters saw. It seems that every two weeks or so we are enticed into watching "the episode that you have been waiting for and it is now here!" Unfortunately this film has been reduced to an X-Files plot that seems to have taken on imaginary status. Did it really happen? I don't have a clue.

Summary: Bringing it all together
Review: Chris Carter does a wonderful job of taking the Mulder/Scully combination to a new level. No true X-Philer worth his/her salt can claim to be one without having seen it. This movie puts the whole conspiracy theme (if I am not giving away too much of the plot here) as Chris Carter mentioned in the pre-movie interview, articulates and packages it for further clarity. If the movie left you wondering then you need to go back and buy the CDs of previous seasons (also provided by Amazon.com). This movie took everything from the previous seasons and fashioned itself as a go between to the next season. As the X-Files keeps re-inventing itself, this will remain a classic in Sci-Fi and will eventually take its place among the giants. I kid you not, the movie is not overdone, Anderson and Duchovny play their parts without making the mistake of trying to do too much with the big budget scenes and the movie is pure entertainment. I will be sad to see the X-Files go from its pure format of the Scully/Mulder combination but this movie is a keeper. Hopefully there will be a follow up in this format and the adventure will continue.Miguel Llora

Summary: Before There Was Doggett, There Was...
Review: Yes, I am a longtime follower of the television series so you know this review is going to be biased. This film, however, stands out as one that truly can be enjoyed even by those who are unfamiliar with the series. Carter includes enough tasty story elements to appeal to followers while keeping it simple enough for the uninitiated to fully appreciate, if not completely understand. The special effects were amazing as well: the explosion in Dallas, the ice falling away in Antarctica and the detail of the aliens are all vital visual elements that were perfected through five years of producing the TV show. Duchovny and Anderson sparkle as Mulder and Scully, and the regular cameos from the series all make appearances. A must-see.

Summary: Very good, too bad show didn't follow up...
Review: I have to say that I was a fan of The X-files in its earlier series before too many continuing storylines ruined the flow and off-kilter appeal of the television series. The film, however, is very, very good, because it is truly the last of the best episodes of The X-files before they moved into the aforementioned continuing storylines. FIGHT THE FUTURE is very visual, and some of the best sets and buildings ever in modern cinema are incorporated in this film. Many of these great sets are brought to gloomy excellence by the dead-on direction of Rob Bowman (check out his THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS for more great visuals - nice cars/effects, lously story). Anderson and Duchovny are, as always, perfect in their roles and they seem to be having a lot more fun, what with being able to swear and such. This is a very accomplished film and you don't even have to be a fan of The X-files to enjoy it... but it doesn't hurt at all if you are.

Summary: gets better and better!
Review: the more i watch the xfiles movie, the more i like it. i think the little things are more appreciated after a few viewings. the video and audio are great on this, i wish there was more of a featurette with chris carter's vision about the movie, and more with anderson/duchovny. otherwise, a fine movie with some good thinking involved.

Summary: DVD version [stinks]!!
Review: I bought two DVD versions of this movie. The picture on both movie was distorted. I got fed up with trying to buy a DVD that wasn't. I loved the movie but was confused as to why this was happening every time I bought the movie on DVD. Anyway I give the DVD version of this movie 3 stars instead of five because of the problems I've been having. Other than that it's an awsome movie. If you have been experiencing problems with DVD version please let me know. Thanks.

Summary: Newbies Beware
Review: This has to be one of the greatest movies that I have ever seen. One word of caution though. If you have never watched the TV show, do not see this until you do so. As X-Files was already a popular TV show when the movie was released, the movie does not spend hardly any time introducing the characters. If you watch and like the TV show, I recommend this movie heavily.

Summary: Gone to seed.
Review: Feels like a toned down version of the series. The tone between Mulder and Skully (Can you think of uglier sounding names?) is friendly, boardering almost on the romantic. And come on! There are too many coincidences in story - Oh yes so they just happen to be in a place where they see two tanker trucks going past on a train and know instinctively that those are the tanker trucs they are looking for. And what about the aliens? They use human bodies to incubate and gestate at an incredibly fast rate..remind you of anything??? The only difference is that they do not have acid for blood...come on that's a give away! "Aliens" rip off, "Independence Day" rip off. Good points? Well, someof it was shot in London so they do admit that other countries besides the US exist...but wait! It's the US and FEMA that will create the conditions for the aliens arriving or make the vaccine. Come on! Finally, if aliens do come to earth, what sort of reception will they have with paranoic drivvel lke this being made? We are all expectingt hem to be hostile, when, it is more likely that we are judging them by our own ideas of right and wrong. The X files used to be good, despite Duchovny and Anderson being unable to act. They both speak in monotone, their gamut of emotions runs from A to A. But despite that it used to be interesting. Now it is just another weekly series that you can watch or not watch. This is an extended version of a good series gone to seed!

Summary: Fight the Future
Review: This was a great movie. It answered a few unanswered questions and then left its fair share of mysteries--A "Chris-ism". Duchovny and Anderson's portrayal of Mulder and Scully was excellent. It kept with the storyline and fit nicely in between seasons 5 and 6. The character's hadn't changed and their relationship didn't falter, even when Scully was going to be transferred to Utah. The hallway scene was perfect, I don't think Carter could have done it without the bee. ^_^ A great movie, and one that I find I can watch over and over again and still enjoy it. I find those very rare.

Summary: Combatr le Futur
Review: The X-Files Movie: Fight the Future, is in my opinion, one of the absolute best films EVER made. David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson do a great job of portraying Special Agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully. To this day, I have seen the movie a total of 182 times, and that number continues to grow almost weekly. The movie is just another part of the confusing yet exciting web that Chris Carter weaves. From the FEMA offices of Dallas, to the cornfields of, somewhere in Texas that I can't remember right now, to the freezing syndicate base in Antartica, the movie is never boring. My favorite part is the hallway scene, but being a "shipper", that's expected. The movie is a reminder of perhaps a "happier" time of the X-files, you know before Doggett and all that crap. It is a remarkable film. My mom finally gave in and watched it, and now has seen it almost as many times as I have. The truth is out there.
