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

 Big Disappointment January 7, 2009
Being a avid X-Files fan, I was looking forward to this movie. The movie turned out to be a big disappointment and much of the movie was spend on endless number of arguments between Mulder and Scully. No space aliens. No great mystery. No suspense.
The movie also took a cheap shot at President Bush. This was tasteless at best. Since I only watched the extended version I do not know if the theatric version contained the same scene.
 I was expecting more but it was good. January 6, 2009
I was expecting more from this movie like the first one they made. This was more psychological and medical than extraterrestrial. It was a pretty good movie and not too predictable but it could have been more exciting.
 Great deal movie package for X-Files fans January 6, 2009
Just like buying the X-Files compilation DVD prior to the new movie coming out included a free ticket to the movie, this DVD of the movie itself also includes a bonus. There is a "digital copy" of the movie included, that allows you to directly download to your computer and/or your iPod. Also, extra footage, and, of course, the movie itself which was highly appreciated by fans wanting more of Scully and Mulder.
 Great DVD edition January 6, 2009
My comment is about the DVD edition, not the movie itself (anyway I like the movie). This edition comes with a few additional scenes and a new end credits (with a picture of cast and crew). You can watch in the special features several new scenes (I like the deleted scenes). You can find pictures of the movie and the filmmaking. In the second DVD you find a special of the filmmaking, and in the third DVD you can download the entire movie in your pc, cellular phone or Ipod is unique for every DVD because it comes with a serial. I recommend this special edition to all then X-files fans.
Lima-Peru.
 Worst X-file product ever Worst non-SF/film in 20 years. January 5, 2009
This hash was terrible, painful to watch as were the beloved characters we could no longer recognize through the layers self absorption, angst, indifference, depression, etc. It looks like it was shot on the cheap in and around Vancouver, eh? Mulder in crisis, Scully no longer loyal to mulder but she lives with him? (Or not?) Bad Body parts thieves, good stem cell research, bad Bush? Social/political commentary? PLEASE!
What happened to the evil government conspiracies? The Aliens? I want my science fiction! This reminded me of low budget horror flicks with depression and anxiety injected for flavor. Poor Mitch Pileggi gets randomly and inexplicably tossed in at the last half hour.
It's as if Carter got stuck in the depressive mire of Millenium, lost his bearings and stayed there. Someone called this a stand alone episode; I think it's more of a pile alone. What really makes this so bad, corny and almost unwatchable (like a trainwreck) is the fact that we all know Carter and crew are capable of so much, much more. They proved that for years. Then again, maybe not anymore. It's a great disappoinment.
