Summary: Great deal movie package for X-Files fans
Comment: Just like buying the X-Files compilation DVD prior to the new movie coming out included a free ticket to the movie, this DVD of the movie itself also includes a bonus. There is a "digital copy" of the movie included, that allows you to directly download to your computer and/or your iPod. Also, extra footage, and, of course, the movie itself which was highly appreciated by fans wanting more of Scully and Mulder.

Summary: Great DVD edition
Comment: My comment is about the DVD edition, not the movie itself (anyway I like the movie). This edition comes with a few additional scenes and a new end credits (with a picture of cast and crew). You can watch in the special features several new scenes (I like the deleted scenes). You can find pictures of the movie and the filmmaking. In the second DVD you find a special of the filmmaking, and in the third DVD you can download the entire movie in your pc, cellular phone or Ipod is unique for every DVD because it comes with a serial. I recommend this special edition to all then X-files fans.
Lima-Peru.

Summary: Worst X-file product ever Worst non-SF/film in 20 years.
Comment: This hash was terrible, painful to watch as were the beloved characters we could no longer recognize through the layers self absorption, angst, indifference, depression, etc. It looks like it was shot on the cheap in and around Vancouver, eh? Mulder in crisis, Scully no longer loyal to mulder but she lives with him? (Or not?) Bad Body parts thieves, good stem cell research, bad Bush? Social/political commentary? PLEASE!
What happened to the evil government conspiracies? The Aliens? I want my science fiction! This reminded me of low budget horror flicks with depression and anxiety injected for flavor. Poor Mitch Pileggi gets randomly and inexplicably tossed in at the last half hour.
It's as if Carter got stuck in the depressive mire of Millenium, lost his bearings and stayed there. Someone called this a stand alone episode; I think it's more of a pile alone. What really makes this so bad, corny and almost unwatchable (like a trainwreck) is the fact that we all know Carter and crew are capable of so much, much more. They proved that for years. Then again, maybe not anymore. It's a great disappoinment.

Summary: One of The Worst Films of 2008
Comment: I am a big X Files fan. This is not an X Files movie, though. It's a very long episode of CSI. No aliens. No supernatural events. No monsters in the dark. Just a boring, plodding murder mystery. Save your money.

Summary: The first movie was much better
Comment: For someone who really enjoyed the first X-Files movie, I was disappointed in this one. To spend years of the series in creating the alien conspiracy plot and not even use it is puzzling in itself. To have the first movie in a decade as basically an extended stand-alone weekly episode makes you question what the point in the movie was. It almost seems like they had two separate side plots with the priest and the transplant and they never really bothered to connect them well. The topical mini-plot regarding the ethics of stem cell research is really inexcusable to have included in the movie, as was the shameless product placement.
With all of this said, it is slightly refreshing to see a movie that didn't use computer special effects as a crutch. Good storytelling is one of the cornerstones of the original series. I hope the disappointing reviews don't prevent them from making another film but instead encourage them to develop a script more reflective of what made this show popular. I think they will have only another 3-5 years before Duchovny and Anderson are too old to fill these rolls.
