It was a boring Sunday so I decided to look through my old VHS collection and this stuck out. Its pretty good standalone Sci-fi film if you know nothing about the show. If your a fan it answers some of the questions that took place the 5 seasons of the show and of course raises questions to Season 6.

My biggest gripe is they really should saved the movie for the end of the show. After Season 6 7-9 where seriously unnecessary as Mulder and Scully where replaced and show just declined. Making the movie almost like it should have been a 2 hour made for tv movie.

I saw this, because I was a big fan of the television series. I suppose I liked it less than I should have, because I was put off by all the errors in it. That scene that  supposedly takes place in north Dallas. I live in that general vincity, and north Dallas looks nothing like that. And there are no mountains in the background, in the real north Dallas.

I thought the movie was ok but even by that point, the series had almost completely run out of steam.

but any chance for me to get to see the gorgeous Gillian Anderson on the big screen is a good thing!

Two things I loved about that movie:

1.   The moment when the guy is getting shredded by the alien down in the pit, and the two guys at the top of the ladder exchange a wordless look, and then cover the opening and start pitching dirt on it.

2.   The astoundingly content-free X-files-speak.  I don't even know how to reproduce it, but you know what I'm talking about.    "Does the plan proceed?"   "Only in the latter phases."   "Does he know?"  "Only some."  "You realize the risk."  "Is there a risk?" (drag on cigarette)  etc, etc, etc.   Back and forth, portentous, yet content-free dialogue.

My big disappointment with that film was that the series asked about 1,000 questions, and the movie answered 3 of them.  I mean, half the episodes ended with some vague assertion that there was some vast conspiracy about aliens and putting their DNA or something into millions of people, and we get bees and a spaceship. 

I mostly liked the stand-alone episodes of the X-files, the ones that didn't end with Moulder demanding answers but not getting any.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
