I've been a fan of the show since day one, and I have to say this film was well conceived and executed. I think most people who are complaining about this movie, went into it with some preconceived notion of what it should've or would've been. If anyone was paying attention to where the show left off and was headed in the last 2 years, this was appropriate. Mulder and Scully were forced from everything and everyone they knew (including each other) were losing whatever faith they had in their efforts and humanity, and were faced with more questions than answers, despite having come to the end of their quest. They were simply trying to figure out a way to be people and at the same time, questioning who they were, what they thought they were, who they are now, and how they fit into society amidst knowing and seeing all that they had. They were forced to move on, for better or for worse, with out much closure or the freedom to decide whether or not to. This movie is about faith (theirs in each other, society, religion, our efforts, and instincts) and its value (to them and everyone). It forces one to really think and question their beliefs in life and themselves, and humanity. The show always was primarily intellectual and emotional, for those who really paid attention; despite its grounding in conspiracy and sci-fi/paranormal. This was merely a canvas for Chris Carter to paint his conceptions of humanity on. The few detractors of this film, are those who were expecting to turn off their brains and be visually stimulated, and were sorely disappointed when they realized that was not an option.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
