The X-Files | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

It's the perfect summation of the first five seasons and it is WONDERFUL. It captures everything that makes the show great: intrigue, suspicion, action, partnership, loyalty, friendship and-yes!-love.

Chris Carter had the daunting task of pleasing fans of the show, while at the same time not alienating those new to it. It's a balancing act that he mostly achieved, but in the end it's probably best enjoyed by those who are already fans.

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.

...lives up to the standard set by its small-screen predecessor's superb early seasons.

The X-Files movie is really just a two-hour teaser for the series's sixth season. And little else.
