I'm glad this wasn't my first experience viewing X-files, or I would have been a little disappointed. Prior knowledge of how good the series made the slower parts more bearable. By no means was this a bad movie, but they basically took an X-files episode and stretched it to fill a movie quota. I also had hoped that the movie would deal a little more with the paranormal, this almost seemed like a CSI bit. I would still see it again, but I was a little worried my movie companion would find it a little dull, as I had sung the praises of the series on the way to the show, and had gotten his hopes up. I regretted it as the film continued to try to build suspense, but instead ended up just building nothing upon nothing. Better idea: go to Blockbuster and rent the X-files seasons - way more intense and interesting.
