 Rated "X" for my files |

| Being a fan of the television series, I had great expectations for the big screen versions. Although I'll admit I enjoyed the first feature a little better. The second one deviated too far from the truth (so to speak); it was like "Silence of the Lambs" meets one of the "Saw" movies. No aleination, what so ever. They should've kept Scully's and Mulder's "distant" attraction for each other in tact, and not put them in bed together! |

| I don't see it mentioned anywhere, but the 2nd movie "The X-Files: I Want To Believe" comes with the Digital Copy disc and code, just like the stand alone version. The stand-alone version of the 2nd movie on Blu-ray is promoted with the Digital Copy included, but the 2-pack description doesn't mention it. |

| Both are good movies. The first being more of blockbuster. Second, more familiar tv territory and character development. Lots of extras, great picture and sound! Lets hope the second movie did well enough so Fox will greenlight a more robust sequel! |

The X-Files Revisited...

"The X-Files Movie 2-Pack" contains both cinematic releases based on the X-Files TV series, the science fiction fan favorite which ran on network television from 1993 to 2002.
The two movies, perhaps appropriately, exemplify the twin themes of the TV series. 1998's "Fight the Future", released between the fifth and sixth tv seasons, is a big screen statement of the complicated conspiracy at the heart of the show. FBI agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully follow a trail of clues that leads from a prehistoric virus to the destruction of a federal office building in Oklahoma City to a global chase after the elusive members of a syndicate dedicated to concealing a staggering secret. Along the way, Mulder and Scully work through a crisis in their complicated relationship, while Mulder receives what may have been the clearest explanation ever provided of the grand conspiracy involving aliens and humans.
2008's "I Want To Believe" was released several years after the end of the tv show. Its plot is a classic "monster of the week" episode, in which an FBI agent is brutally kidnapped. Mulder emerges from hiding and Scully from uneasy retirement to stop a hideous medical experiment. The movie nicely updates the personal story of Mulder and Scully since the untidy ending of the tv series.
The X-Files movies have a mixed reputation among hardcore fans; it may be that the TV show just didn't translate all that well to the big screen. However, "The X-Files Movie 2-Pack" is highly recommended to X-Files fans, and to newcomers wondering what they might have missed in a great science fiction series. |
