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

I can't believe this is being called an X-Files movie! This piece of junk pales to even the worse ever episode of the series. It doesn't even come close. Why Scully and Mulder were raked through the mud of this movie is beyond me and is a total embarrassment. I am a huge X-Fils fan but this movie made me sick. The whole story sucked as did the attempt to make it creepy? The political agenda behind this movie makes me wanna puke in the faces of the writers. It was so entrenched in the plot that you ...

Being a long time fan of the show, especially the dynamics of the complicated Mulder and Scully relationship, this film did not disappoint. The complexities of the show complete with multiple meanings behind discussions and questions of faith and belief are still alive and well. I loved the intertwining storylines. I especially appreciated seeing Mulder and Scully's relationship taken to another level - very moving. Movie was totally under-appreciated.

As an avid X-files fan since the very beginning, I was ecstatic to hear that Chris Carter and the powers that be had decided to delve back into that universe after all these years. How wonderful it was going to be to see Mulder and Scully triumphantly united on film once more! Sadly-utter shock and disappointment was my only reaction having seen the final product. The only thing I could think of was "They brought back Mulder and Scully for this?"
Honestly. What was the point of this ... Read More

I am an X-File fan from day one!!! I loved the first movie, but this one was just 'okay!' Even though the X-Files dealt with more than just aliens, the aliens were, and still are, the main theme and what drives the 'following' of the X-Files, so I found myself just watching a Thriller, not an X-File classic!!!

The first 20 minutes are curiosity provoking but the rest left me saying to myself "So what?".
**** SPOILER. DO NOT READ this if you HAVE NOT WATCHED the movie.
The remaining of the film is far-fetched, not suspenseful and dragging.
In North America, there's no group of people who are systematically killing others to get parts for transplants. It's because they'll be investigated by police very soon. It might happen in other countries like China where there were reports ... Read More
