Michael A Dec 3 The X-Files entered a stage of uncertainty when the office that brought so many memories was burned to a crisp. Then, the first X-Files Feature movie let us know that our favorite agents, Mulder and Scully, didn't need an office to do what they do best... Argue. Chasing aliens, cigarette smoking men, and a fantastic bomb sequence lead the agents into the cold depths of their biggest X-File yet. It's fun and clever in a lot of ways. There's certainly the need for an audience to watch at least half of the episodes that came before it, but all in all, Rob Bowman delivers a solid movie with everything you'd expect from the show, and more.

Though watchable and fairly short, it has a few issues, but all around better then the next film and hey, I enjoyed it!!! See more Daniel C. M Aug 24 As someone who never saw the show, this was extremely intriguing and thrilling. I loved the aspect of mixing a conspiracy political thriller with sci-fi. The main character's and actor's chemistry were great; there were plenty of horror-esque scenes which were directed perfectlly and were genuinely scary.

This was incredibly boring... lots of weird little tails to chase, nonsensical plot points and tropes, all leading to a lamo goofy alien plot to destroy the world again. Seems this IP really does belong on television. See more Kevin P Feb 12 Incredible. Watch series 1 to 5 and then this one is all you need. This movie brings the whole plot to an incredible conclusion. Masterclass in how to wrap a series up with a bang. Shame they went on for more series and a terrible second movie. My advice is to stop watching after this movie and be satisfied. See more Lyra S Feb 4 A Sci-Fi Thriller That Still Holds Up! As a longtime fan of The X-Files, I was eager to see how the show’s signature blend of mystery, government conspiracy, and extraterrestrial intrigue would translate to the big screen. Fight the Future (1998) did not disappoint. This film expands on the series’ overarching mythology, offering a thrilling, cinematic experience while maintaining the eerie, paranoia-fueled atmosphere that made the show a cult classic. The movie follows FBI agents Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) as they uncover a government cover-up involving an extraterrestrial virus buried deep in the Arctic. The pacing is sharp, the tension is palpable, and the stakes are higher than ever. While the film is accessible to newcomers, longtime fans will appreciate the deeper dive into the show’s lore, particularly the ever-present question: What is the government hiding from us? Beyond the storytelling, Fight the Future taps into real-world scientific questions that continue to fascinate astronomers and researchers. The idea of extraterrestrial microbes—a concept central to the film—has become an increasingly plausible topic in astrobiology, with scientists searching for evidence of life in places like Mars, Europa, and Enceladus. Could life beyond Earth exist in forms we have yet to comprehend? And if so, would we be prepared to deal with it? The movie plays on these anxieties brilliantly, mixing speculative science with conspiracy-driven suspense. For anyone who enjoys sci-fi thrillers, government conspiracies, or the eternal question of “Are we alone?”, The X-Files: Fight the Future is a must-watch. As an amateur astronomer, I appreciate how the film sparks curiosity about the unknown, making us look up at the night sky and wonder what’s the truth that is out there. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Vincent Kleijn See more Read all reviews
