Not Even A Good TV Episode
PostedJuly 26, 2008

from Kansas City area
First of all, it was refreshing to see Gillian and David on the screen again. That's the positive part.
This movie was weak in concept and very predictable. I kept saying to myself, "surely, they're not going to...", and in a few moments, they did the very thing I thought they were going to do (but should not have).
I won't spoil it here, yet.
This movie would have made a mediocre TV episode had it been cut down to 40 minutes (allowing for commercials). As a feature-length film, it was boring and mildly confusing. It was only confusing because what I thought they would have done to make it a movie more in the X-Files theme was left out or ignored.

Why would an FBI agent (the one first abducted) not know how to GET BACK IN THE CAR?
Why was it so easy for Scully to convince the hermit, Mulder, to take on the crusade?
The black helicopter seen could have been cooler -- especially if they had landed in Mulder's back yard after he agreed to go.
The priest looked so much like a raggedy John Cleese (Dr. Brackish Okun from Independence Day), it was distracting.
Why was there no paperwork involved in Mulder's FBI pardon?
Why were Mulder and Scully not deputized?
Why were there so few agents (and no police) on the "raid"?
At the raid, why did the special agent in charge Whitney not let a flunky-agent stay outside with Mulder?
Why did Mulder not carry his phone or even make some well-placed GPS tracking calls on his way up to the bad-guy's house?
When Mulder was dialing his phone, was the name "Gillian" the one chosen?
Why was he tailing so closely?
Why was Mulder unarmed the entire time (civilian or not)?
Do all AB negative blood-type's wear medic-alert bracelets?
Why did the bad guys NOT test Mulder's blood to see if he was a compatible MALE body donor?
Why were they trying to save THAT mutant anyway?
Would Scully have been interested in the bad-guy's medical work? Could she have learned some great surgical techniques in a non-sterile environment?
Why was Skinner's hair so raggedy?
Why did Scully hesitate so long before saying she was ready? Why was the patient allowed to see that?
What were we supposed to gather from the "boat" scene after the credits? Oh? You didn't stay? Was that a conclusion or just a "nugget" for loyal fans? ...or was it a wave goodbye?

No, I do not recommend this movie.
