Movie Review: Simply One of the BEST, But Only Leaves You Wanting More!
Summary: 5 Stars
Simply One of the BEST, But Only Leaves You Wanting More!
When this was originally released on VHS, i had a copy, but never got around to finishing it. The start was a bit on the slow side and i never saw the show. I immediately categorized this as a movie that could not be watched without knowing the history of the show. AMZ recently had season one of X-Files on sale, so i decided to pick up a copy. It was one of the best decisions i ever made while shopping, absolutely no regrets. I was introduced to a great show with a great cast.
Since watching season one on DVD i kept house hunting to find my old VHS tape. Unfortunately, i could not find it anywhere. I picked up the movie recently because the original release had been discontinued. Now that the 2nd movie is out, the original has been re-released. I picked this up and must say i am blown away.
It's an excellent movie and much like the series it only makes you beg for more. It's a bit unusual to see David so young. He almost looks like a kid. The film has an excellent story line & only keeps you hooked the whole way through. One of the best 2 hours i ever spent watching a movie. Check this out if you love the series & check it out if you were every curious about this show. A must have.
Summary of The X-Files: Fight the Future
Thirty-seven thousand years ago, a deadly secret was buried in a cave in Texas. Now the secret has been unleashed. And it's discovery may mean the end of all humanity."The plague to end all plagues"
When a terrorist bomb destroys a building in Dallas, Texas, FBI Agents Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) are drawn into a dangerous conspiracy surpassing anything they've ever encountered. With the dubious assistance of a paranoid doctor (Academy Award -winner Martin Landau). Mulder and Scully risk their careers and their lives to hunt down a deadly virus which may be extraterrestrial in origin - and could destroy all life on earth. Their pursuit of truth pits them against the mysterious Syndicate, powerful men who will stop at nothing to keep their secrets safe, leading the agents from the cave in Texas, to the halls of the FBI, and finally to a secret installation in Antarctica which holds the greatest secret of all.
The definitive American television series of the '90s comes to the big screen with an anticlimactic whimper. And how could it be otherwise? Why should material so perfectly realized in one medium necessarily translate well into another? The series is crisply and thoughtfully executed in just about every detail, but the heart of its appeal lies in the elegant handling of complicated and evolving ongoing story lines, which is not something movies are especially good at. The big-screen drive for closure cramps the creative style, though it may also help nonfans get a grip on the proceedings. We do get some invigorating thrills and chills, however, and a more satisfying sense of the scale of an all-enveloping human-alien conspiracy than ever before, but there's no more plot development here than in an average two-part season-ending. FBI black sheep Mulder and Scully have been temporarily transferred from the X-Files project to an anti-terrorist unit to investigate an Oklahoma City-style bombing. They uncover a new wrinkle in the Syndicate/Cancer Man conspiracy--basically an attempt to help one bunch of (benign?) aliens fight off another bunch who want to colonize Earth. A spectacular, ice-bound finale thrillingly staged by series-veteran director Rob Bowman offers Mulder (but not a conveniently unconscious Scully) his first clear look at a You Know What, which in some quarters qualifies as an epochal event. Martin Landau offers the agents some crucial clues, and several familiar TV faces (including the Lone Gunmen and Mitch Pileggi's indispensable Assistant Director Skinner) turn up briefly to wink knowingly at faithful fans. --David Chute
