The future is a timeframe and time is an abstract concept and thus cannot be fought

The X Files only "jumped the shark" after this movie for one reason, season 6 had lame episodes mostly catering towards selling out the platonic relationship the leads had and only further continued to mar the conspiracy and alien episodes with bad story telling. Having said that... X Files Fight The Future does get a few things right on the nose. It's a thrilling and interesting movie that doesn't talk down to it's … more

An amazing big screen adaption of the popular and absorbing T.V. series....

This big screen adaption of the phenomenally popular T.V. series is nothing short of brilliant it has all the makings of a fantastic Sci-Fi thriller and a great conspiracy thriller all wrapped up into one sinister little package. The X-Files: Fight the Future is not an oscar worthy film but it is a great one on it's own as a stand alone it would have done fantastically but it's tie to the series' plot keeps it chained down from busting loose and showing it's true stuff. … more

The action and tension are stronger than the logical flaws

While the story has a great deal of exciting action and suspense, there are some serious logical holes that severely challenge your ability to suspend your disbelief. Furthermore, in true X-files tradition while some of the uncertainties in the series are resolved, many others are interjected, clearly laying the groundwork for a sequel. It all begins with a boy in Texas falling into a natural hole in the ground. He is initially uninjured, finding a skull and then being exposed to a deadly … more

First major X Files movie has an alien virus discovered in Texas and Mulder and Scullys fight to learn it's origins. Great and smart movie.

The series should have ended with this movie

Aliens, viruses, secret government entities, genetic engineering, assasinations and the rest of the staples of the X-files TV serial are all in this movie, tied together into a fairly cogent and actually quite believable storyline. And like a good movie based of a TV serial, multiple arcs are closed while none are opened. Specifically, this movie sees the deaths of two important characters from the serial (not Fox or Scully of course), and the existence of aliens on earth is confirmed once and for … more

Much Better Than Expected

"The X-Files: Fight The Future" is the first attempt at transferring Mulder and Scully to the big screen. Though I enjoyed the original series, I was never a fanatic about it. In fact, when this film originally came out, I had no intentions of seeing it. Now that I finally have, I must admit that it is pretty good. It's full of cameos and tie-ins from the TV series that even a casual fan such as myself can pick up on, but you need not watch any of the series' episodes to enjoy this film. This … more
