Movie Reviews of The X-Files - Fight the Future [Blu-ray]
Movie Review: Over 60 Discs of the X-Files. What's Not To Like?
Summary: 5 Stars
If you're a big fan of the series then this massive 60+ disc DVD set is just what the doctor ordered. Take a trip back in time to the 90s where television was at its golden age and where Fox reinvented the Sci-Fi genre with this definitive and ground breaking series. The boxed set includes all 9 complete seasons of the X-Files, the full-feature film Fight The Future, and numerous special features and bonus material including some very Lovecraftian art cards based off of the first season that are a personal favourite of mine. Just rewatching the first season just brings back so many great memories of the show and as you progress through the boxed set from season to season you see the acting and special effects improve and for the most part the story. Just watching some of the cheesier episodes early on as well as the cheesy effects is just classic in retrospect. This series was so far ahead of its time that it's unbelievable. Although some hardcore X-Files fans would conclude that the series really ends at the onset of season 8 with Mulder no longer being a regular on the show, the last two seasons still do have something to offer in terms to rounding out the story despite not being on par with the first seven. The extras are great too, especially the mythos/monster of the week ones and the gag reels are just hilarious. If you're new to the show then I suggest renting the first season and seeing if it's your cup of tea. If you enjoy government conspiracies, aliens, monsters of the week, and the paranormal then you'll definitely enjoy the X-Files.
Summary of The X-Files - Fight the Future [Blu-ray]
Genre: Sci-Fi/Fantasy
Rating: UN
Release Date: 2-DEC-2008
Media Type: Blu-Ray
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
