I loved this movie, I am a complete X-Phile. It was a wonderful thriller that was very reminiscent of the early X-Files. The story is a great reintroduction to this franchise. The next step will be to obviously revisit the alien mythology :) hopefully fans won't have to wait as long! Mark Snow did a great job with the score (as always) David stepped right back into Mulder, and although Gillian seemed to be a bit un-Scully like at times I think it just shows the evolution of the character herself. The brief Mitch cameo (Skinner) was perfect! Skinman is back!! Overall this was a great thriller, for long time fans and those new to the series. (New fans will be confused at the mention of William) Amanda Peet and Alvin Joiner are nice editions....Alvin especially but I think they could have been replaced by Robert Patrick....I did miss Doggett (Reyes not so much) but hopefully there will be room for him in the third movie. Great acting, amazing scenery, witty dialog, it was real and gritty, perfect for the X-Files. Going into this movie not knowing anything other than it was a monster of the week movie allowed me to be on the edge of my seat the entire time, it felt like back when I first watched the series and every week I was just on pins and needles! So I will not reveal anything here. Bring on the third movie Chris Carter!! You and Frank are awesome!! P.S. stay till the end of the credits.
