I want to believe this latest X-Files film was created for a reason other than financial reward, but I find it difficult to guess at what that reason might have been.

It's really not worth going into the performances of Duchovny and Anderson. Basically, they act intense, surprised and smart.

David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson are enormously sympathetic heroes.

Top CriticDespite its complexity, it is fun to watch the story unfold.

I'm sure that fans of the show were satisfied, but others may find this movie uninvolving and its conspiracy theories juvenile. It's nothing more than a two-hour promotion for the television series that fails to resolve any of the conflicts it introduces.

There’s enough juice to sustain a fan’s interest for awhile. It ain’t much, but watching Scully and Mulder inch closer romantically, and seeing some cool special effects is worth the price of admission.

It's a more commanding vision, encouraging even more focused consumption of visible objects.
01/01/00
The director, Rob Bowman, is not some TV hack; his work is thrillingly kinetic.

By the end of the picture I was almost in a frenzy to see the television show, after experiencing this two-hour nostalgic thriller that manages to make use of the limitations the series brought on.

...lives up to the standard set by its small-screen predecessor's superb early seasons.
08/01/08
This is more than enough material for two hours of summer-movie fun, and The X-Files delivers said fun reasonably well.

Is it the best 'episode?' No. But it's a good one.
01/01/00
funny and edgy and absorbing
01/01/00
It's refreshing to see Hollywood make a movie that isn't dumb, and that doesn't talk down to its audience.
01/01/00
It's a great way to relieve the anxiety that the series' endless mysteries have built.
05/22/03
This sci-fi thriller delivers the goods.
