The feature film The X-Files: I Want to Believe is a satisfying if unspectacular installment in the X-Files series, taking place an unspecified time after the show's nine-year television run. Former agent Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) is now a doctor, while Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) is being hunted by his former agency and living in seclusion. He and Scully are summoned back by a case involving a missing agent and a former priest (Billy Connolly) who claims to be able to see clues to the agent's whereabouts psychically, though his initial search turns up only a severed limb. Don't expect the usual cast of characters; the FBI has completely turned over (except for the George W. Bush portrait), and the only reason Scully and Mulder are back is because agent Dakota Whitney (Amanda Peet) remembers his success on similar cases involving the unexplainable. Don't expect the same rogues' gallery either; unlike the previous X-Files feature film, which was inextricably linked to the series' convoluted mythology arc (and served as a bridge between the fifth and sixth seasons), I Want to Believe is a stand-alone piece that makes use of the series' roots in horror/sci-fi and moody Vancouver, B.C., locales. Also unlike the previous film, which was almost self-consciously shot for the big screen, this film is on a smaller scale, like a double-length episode of the series. But it's still a good reminder of the creepy vibe that hooked fans for years. And the relationship between Mulder and Scully? It seems to have resumed pretty much where it left off, at least when you take into account the long period of separation. But stick around for the end-credit sequence to take in all the possibilities for the future. --David Horiuchi

 Awful!!! December 4, 2008

That was a truly awful film. As a true fan of the show, I was so excited to see this. Please do not make the same mistake I did. Save your money and your time. The plot is laughable and it has nothing to do with the show or the paranormal. One of the worst plots in years. Now I know why this is on almost every critics list for worst films of 2008.
 Do not recommend, Wait till they show it on TV December 4, 2008

Picture quality Outstanding, Sound quality needs work. Story line and plot sucked. Chris C. must have needed the money.

Looking at the trailer and then at the movie I would have to say that I am disappointed in this film. I wish I had rented it and not purchased it.

Thats the best that Chris Carter and company could come up with for a story idea? I have been a fan of the X Files for years and own all of the seasons. This film is awful. Empty. I'm glad that I didn't drive 33 miles to the theater to watch it. I still cannot believe that this was the X Files movie. Anyone who claims to have enjoyed this floater, obviously has not seen the series and has no idea how good the X Files can be. I thoroughly enjoy the series and the Fight The Future movie and I am so thankful to own them. Great stories with interesting characters that make you think and appreciate good writing and directing.
This movie is just disappointing and worse, embarrassing.

I've been a fan of X-Files since 1993. I had very high hopes when I heard that another movie was coming out. I realized that there couldn't be anything too deep into the conspiracy plot/aliens/history that the series was all about in the movie. Having said that, you have to go in knowing that it's a "monster of the week" type of movie with a little bit of relationship history thrown in. Seeing Mulder and Scully interacting rekindled my affection for their characters and made me love them that much more. It was disappointing to go home and know that I wouldn't be seeing them Sunday night!
