I brought this DVD for my dad as he likes the xfiles. When it came it was high quality and the DVD wa wounderful to watch. The product was with a good price and I would have brought again.
When you watch X-Files: I want to believe you cannot help but have thoughts about the bad press it received and its reported flop at the cinemas. As an X-files fan, It pains me to say it but it was easy to see why it wasn’t a cinema hit. The film makers should have just released it to DVD in my opinion as it wasn’t a film worthy of the big screen. It was an ok plot but nothing that kept you gripped, which is a shame really since the X-files genre had a number of interesting ways to bring a good story to the big screen. In my opinion they wasted that opportunity and brought something not interesting at all. Without spoiling the plot I think any X-file fan would agree that deep down, it would have taken something far greater for Mulder and Scully to swallow their wilful pride and return to help the FBI then the plot offered by ‘I want to believe’. For me, I do not think the story line was true to the characters nor the fans apart from as mentioned by the other review, the odd snippet of references here and there. In summary, I can only conclude this film was a low budget but well presented quick way of making a few bucks on the back of previous good work and the fan base the series produced. An episode of X-files was far better.Read full review
It's an X-Philes movie, it clearly states the claim this is one for the gang, for the in-crowd, when we're treated to a close-up of a pic of Mulder's sister in an early scene and then when Mulder & Scully go back to FBI headquarters Mulder exchanges a brief glance with a passing young female agent and gazes after her for some considerable time as she walks away, for no evident reason in the plot. It's Samantha Morton, who played Mulder's kid sister in the original series and appears here again briefly all grown-up now as the girly FBI agent. Yup, it's an X-Files in-joke; we're home, folks. It's like that all the way through this touching movie. Every time you see a street name or a store sign, you know it's the real-file name of one of the production crew. What's it about? Belief. Do you believe, do you have faith? Bear in mind that the central kid, the kid with the illness, is called Christian. They could have called him Eric, or Jamey, or Ken, but instead they called him Christian. They dress it up, but this is a movie about keeping the faith, and, really, if you recognise Samantha Morton, you'll realise early on that keeping the flags flying and the torches burning is what this movie's all about. It's great to be back on home turf again, though I would have liked to see more of Skinner, that bald beautiful man, who is only shoehorned in for a token appearance. Watch it right to the end, past the credits; just before it fades Mulder and Scully wave from their boat. They wave to camera, first time I've seen them do that, but hey, once we recognised Samantha Morton, we already knew that they knew we'd all be here. Here's back atcha guys, and thanks; this movie is one for the faithful. Count me in. BBRead full review
