but I have never even seen one episode of x-files. I have seen bits and pieces while flipping channels, it just doesn't interest me. Am I alone here? When I went to the movies to see Truman Show Friday night at the 20plex I noticed that the Xfiles movies was sold out for every showing and it was playing in 2 theatres with a total of like 6 or 8 showings for the night. Somebody must like this stuff. |

I'm not a huge fan, I don't remember the plots all that well and I don't discuss them with other X-File fanatics....but -- I wondered why the audience seemed so restless....I've never seen so many bathroom trips during ANY movie. And why no clapping/cheering at the end? Did I accidentally go to the anti X-Files movie....where everything was reversed? Still, it was good....I enjoyed it and uh, 2 thumbs kinda up there....got it? |

TALK the whole time... 'oh my gosh' 'what did he say?' 'where's that?' 'my knees hurt..i need to stretch' |

They could have spent more money on the plot and less on the special effects. Anyone see the making of the movie special on TV? If it comes on - DON"T watch it. Wait until after you've seen the movie. Looked pretty kewl but I would have liked to see more detail and less grandiose things, like a closeup of the alien in lieu of the wide screen shots of the monster alien ship, especially some better shots of Scully all cold and naked coming out of the frozen water tank contraption. Good lookin red heads with nice ta-ta's are hard to find. Were your lips tingling when they almost kissed? Nice touch I thought, I really don't want them having a hot romance. Its more fun just the way it is. Course I'm a guy. :) |

I know personally I was too caught up in the plot to do so. (not like Independance day, which is definetly a cheering movie-if your into that- because...plot? right ! Of course, here in Canada, the only part that got cheers was when the White House was destroyed.... I saw that one coming.....damn, we're bitter! But that's another story.) I'm sorry to say that I too was excited when they were going to kiss, even though I don't think they should get together. I did the average girl reaction: *gasp* hand over mouth, eyes wide, oh...My...GOD....... (bee) "rrrrRRRRRRRAGUH!!!!," I love how they eventually give up on explaining things. How did Scully get out of the mourge? how did they get out of the Arctic? I've been told I'm too critical of movies. I think maybe I am. |

the shot where the white house gets blown straight back to the hell it came from is the only scene that got cheered here in the u.s. as well. we've got a corner on the jaded/bitter market down here. but of course in any "free-market" society(heh), competition is always welcome. |

The movie SHOULD have been either a dark, low-key, talky, intelligent-but-playful moody piece like the series' best eps, or it should've been a rapid-fire, bangbangbang highly edited whirlwind of dense images and information, like Oliver Stone's "JFK" or the X-FIles eps "Redux" and "Jose Chung"......but for some reason, Chris Carter didn't ask my opinion ;) |
