David S. One of my lowest rated films reviews and for good reason, this long and boring film, is just not good. Bad plotting, a lack of continuity, and the usually great chemistry between Mulder and Scully is very forced here and it's boring!!! Okay, if you like the show, but for none fans, I don't recommend this one!!! Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/13/25 Full Review Jeanne F I actually liked it. I had no problem following it. It wasn’t as bad as the critics say. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/14/25 Full Review Joy D After the disastrous addition of seasons 10 and 11, the film hits differently than it did on its original release. It serves as a solid ending after season 9, in part because it does feel like watching an elongated regular episode of the show. That's not a good thing for a theatrical release, but in 2025 it serves as good entertainment. As a bonus, if you've been an X-Files fan, it will give you a lot more satisfaction than watching those last two added seasons. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/28/25 Full Review Kevin P Disasterous second movie that should never have been made. Too short, it's just a filler episode and a bad one at that. Killed the franchise that could only limp on another season. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/12/25 Full Review Alex r If you enjoy X files this movie will be up your alley. If your watching this for some reason other than being a fan of the series its not worth watching. It will not make you interested in the show. This movie reminds me of those movies where the movie before they had figured out their team dynamic. But they need conflict so they pretend this team doesn't work well together and for 1/3 to 1/2 of the movie they try to regain their mojo. This movie feels like a sad excuse to put our two leads back together for a movie. The plot is not memorable, but the chemistry between the characters is still top notch. The locations are great. It feels like an episode of X files but not one you remember. There is nothing terrible about the movie just ends up being average. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/31/24 Full Review Alex K If you're expecting any resolutions at all to almost anything that happened in the show you'll get none. It's basically an extended episode of the show with a crap x-file, one of the case adjacent ones. The case was pretty sci-fi-y too I suppose but the x-files qualities of the case aren't discussed. I have a lot of other issues with the film that I'm not gunna explore. Fun fact for those that expanded: They used a spitting image puppet of Zach Braff as stand in for David when he was too busy to shoot Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 09/16/24 Full Review Read all reviews
