      I think she got much hotter in the 2000's.

    The beginning is what we call a plot conveinance that happened often with Mulder's "hunches".

    This movie was amazing since it connected to the mythology of the series (since it came in between seasons 4 & 5) unlike the second movie which was just bad.

    I'm still a huge fan of X-files. I'm also a major fan of you guys. You tend to review some of my favorite movies. Alien movies, Maniac Cop and so forth. Thank you guys for giving us, your fans, some superb reviews.

    Saw this opening night at the Ziegfeld, and yes we all cheered like hyper X files nerds when the telegram was shown re-opening the X files, and also everyone was screaming at the onset of the almost kiss.

    Really enjoying your content gentlemen. The cavemen in the intro are clearly hunting the creature as they are following its tracks into the cave. Also, another fun fact about Anderson is that she was considered to play Melisandre, the red priestess of Asshai, on Game of Thrones.

    In fairness to Prometheus I think the film would have been fine had it never been tied to the Alien franchise. Ridley Scott likes his talk to your creator scenarios he did it in Prometheus and Blade Runner.
    Also let's be honest X files goes downhill pretty quick after this as well, I feel like Chris Carter started the mystery box thing and could never decide where he wanted to end with it.

    I enjoyed this film but I think at this stage the series began to unravel as the central conspiracy arc became so convoluted it eventually became boring. I much preferred the stand alone corkers like Home, J'Souhite etc I too appreciate Scully's ankles and I like her better as a redhead than a blonde.

      Agreed, the one off stories ,with supernatural beings,hypnotic yogis,strange phenomenon,were more captivating,all these conspiracies ,lost focus,and the one offs were easier to watch,you didn't have to follow every week ,to have a clue ,as to what was happening.

    21 years...I'm old.
    I remember back then a lot of riped dvd were available,all the plot were on magazine,I was a big fan during the early saisons,but after the 5,7 and more (originally the serie should be ending with 5 seasons..after the 7th..and now 9..10..11..maybe more and always not real complête story,sadly a lot of real conspiracies can be show on the serie,like the fake babies death in koweit a false testimony in Onu by a false nurse also,the irak,syria,lybia..statfor speech...pnac..all geopolitic stuff,official with kissinger,brzezinski.wikileaks..and somes stranges stuff like bohemian groove,cooking spirit,honestly really wtf and explicitly symbolic about pedo and satanism luciferian way 'nothing is real,everything is permise'.
    Now,only Elementary and Black mirror are ok to deal with these kind of stuff,like the Iran false flag,soros,wikileaks and others critics.
    X files still have somes great episodes,somes really funny,deep or dark.
    The next year,the official laserdisc Starwars episode 1 sold for 200 usd or more to happy fews.
