Exactly What I Was Looking For
PostedJuly 26, 2008

from Pittsburgh, PA
In preparation for this film, I watched all 9 seasons and the first movie. If you came into this expecting an old-fashioned X-File, that was your mistake. Mulder and Scully are no longer the bright-eyed and bushy-tailed agents they were in the first movie (released in 1998). They worked on the x-files for nine years and were beat down every step of the way. This movie picks up where neither of them have been in the FBI for around six years. This movie did a great job of showing how the aftermath of the x-files really messed them up (they've even lost a child). They have no one to trust but each other. Even then they have problems of compatibility, but they know they couldn't really be with anyone else. It also shows a parallel of how the FBI runs without them. Their ways of investigation are even MORE out-dated and out of the norm. They look tired. They were never able to really substantiate ANY of the cases they ever did, so I don't blame them. You have to look at the logical fifteen year time line this movie encompasses and the mental and physical toll it has taken on these characters to truly appreciate it; that's why I thought their emotions were beautiful. Kudos to David Duchovny and Giliian Anderson for reprising these roles exactly where they should be.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
