SParkfan77's Full Review: X-Files: Fight the Future
I remember when the X-Files debuted on Fox a few years back. I watched about four or five shows and I really didn’t get much excitement from it, so I stopped watching the show. Than in the summer of ’98, the X-Files Movie was released, and since I really didn’t like the show, I hesitated to see it. In fact, I never saw it in the theater. A few months later, it was released on VHS and DVD. So you would think that I cough up five bucks to rent it right? No, I had desire to see it. Than about a month ago, I was at my friends house and he insisted to watch the X-Files. I finally said yes and I was ready to see what I have been missing for almost two years. I realized that I should have seen it when it was out in the theaters. What I missed was an apocalyptic thriller that had me on the edge of my seat for the whole movie. This movie, like the TV show, has an extremely complex story with twists and turns that will have you watching it over and over again to figure everything out. Molder and Scully fight the future as a virus that is believed to be on earth before the dinosaurs, re-occurs in Texas. This movie will definitely make you coming back for more. So is the X-Files movie better than the show? Lets see how the X-Files movie stacks up.
Here’s The Breakdown
Cast *****
David Duchovny, Gillian Anderson, and Academy award winner, Martin Landau makes this movie even more watch able. The two FBI agents, Molder and Scully, work great together and have so much chemistry in the movie. Martin Landau brings his Oscar winning formula to the screen and helps Molder along with information on what is really happening.
Visual Effects *****
Aliens, and some of the most detailed shots of inside a spaceship I have ever seen. This is movie is in no way all special effects, but the scenes with special effects were amazing. Also remember that this film was made in 1998 and that these specials effects still make par for today.
Script *****
I can’t tell you how many twists and turns this movie had, and I promise that you will love this movies ending. Some of the lines in the movie, I love. It makes the actors look better. From the same writers and directors as the show, they know what they wanted in this movie and they succeeded by making a compelling and intriguing story that will make you stunned.
Overall *****
This is one of the only movies that I have rated, that I gave a perfect score. It was well deserved. If you are like me, and don’t like the show that much and are hesitant to see the movie, than see it. Don’t wait any longer, you will be wishing that you have seen this movie sooner. It is better than any episode of the X-Files that I have seen. By all means, see this movie, even if you are not a fan of the show.
Bottom Line: See this movie, regardless if you are a fan or not.
