It was the X Files and not much more.

Think back those of you who went to see the Simpsons movie and remember that feeling when Homer sat up and accosted the audience for paying for what we saw on TV for free. That is kinda how I felt after leaving I Want To Believe.
Now I am a huge fan of the series and I did enjoy the first movie immensely but where the first X files movie and I Want To Believe differ is in scope more than story.
There was a good story presented to us with this new installment letting us see into the post life of Mulder and Scully after their departure from the FBI. Not to mention David Duchovny as well as Gillian Anderson really stepped right back into the roles we all loved so much, Huddled around the TV on a friday night waiting for Chris Carters next ticket for us to the supernatural.
But there in which is also my problem it all felt too familiar, the story was good but just too linear compared to what I have come to expect from CC over the years. And we were supposed to get all caught up in the relationship of Mulder and Scully, but it is nothing we have really not felt or seen before.
In fact it just felt kinda shoved in there grasping at the audience every 10 minutes, like we needed reminding that they were star crossed lovers torn by the darkness that seemed to follow them. I mean I know most people have the attention span of a gnat but come on, if I had to hear them near tears on screen because girl loves boy but boy loves aliens more one more time I was going to weep bitter tears of pain.
So here we sit with great acting a story that had potential but was straight, flat and went really no where and alot of snow. I mean alot of snow in fact I thought I was going to get snow blindness if I kept staring at the screen.
There was nothing in the "movie" to warrant it being on the big screen, it really could have been a two part season episode and we all would have raved and loved it back in the glory days but now it feels like Chris Carters feeble attempt to bring himself back into limelight. So yea I give it three stars one for acting one for the G.W pun and one more just for utter love of the series.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
