The X-Files: I Want to Believe (Single-
Disc Edition) starring David
Duchovny, Gillian Anderson
Excellent Dvd X-Files I Want To Believe
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 shows 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 agents
whereabouts psychically, though his initial search turns up only a severed
limb. Dont 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.
Dont 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 its 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

For all X-file fans, this was a long time in coming. We were all starved for
another dose of anything x-file-related. It was a bit of a disappointment
because there was not much about the history of the x-files and there are
still so many questions or issues left unaddressed from the series. I think
there should have been some reference to Doggett and Reyes who
continued working with the x-files at the FBI. However, I was pleasantly
surprised and delighted to see D.A. Skinner incorporated into this movie
although it was for too short of a time period; he needed more involvement
and screen time. This was also not really an x-file type plot, but still a good
movie and interesting storyline. But this was a stand-alone movie and
those not familiar with the x-files tv series could still follow it and be
entertained by it.
