A beautiful reunion

TXF-IWTB takes us back into that dark universe known as The X-Files that we came to love so many years ago. David and Gillian slide effortlessly back into Mulder and Scully as if 6 hours had passed and not 6 years. At the heart are these two complex, conflicted, worn, intelligent creatures who have seen their share of pain, darkness and betrayal and come out okay. They can love each openly--finally, but they ultimately stand in the way of themselves. 'shippers (like me) will die happy just to see our duo on screen again and in love despite the bitter un-bliss that looms near. The story is both new and familiar to this show, but doesn't seem to come together and click like it should, and I expected much better storytelling from Carter after these years. Overall, Mulder and Scully are still as good as they ever were, but a darker, deeper, better told story could have risen them above the beauty of just their relationship. I hope to see another movie in at a couple of years.
Scully's B-plot with her patient fell in line with the faith/believe storyline, but could have been dropped in order to spend more time with the A plot and with Mulder. The opportunity for them to come together like old, and investigate was lost. And I know they are not in that place anymore, but to see a good old fashioned scary case weave in and out would have been great. More for die hard fans though, but nothing beats seeing Mulder and Scully together again. A for that.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
