Movie Review: X-Files: I Want to Believe

So, if you are looking for this movie to tie up loose ends from the series, explore the ramifications of the last season, or even deal with them in some sort of coherent way, you’re probably going to want to skip this movie. If you’re still a big fan of The X-Files, I would recommend waiting for this to come out on DVD, renting it, and pretending

I was never a shipper (actually, I was a noromo), but I could deal with this level of it because it was just there, not in your face or anything. Loved that credits sequence though. It made me laugh.

I liked the soundtrack and want to buy it.

Other than that, your description of it as an extra-long movie is exactly what I've been telling everyone, and although I'd recommend that people see it at the movies just because I don't go to movies very often and thus if I like something I'll recommend it anyway, I don't think it's one for the hardcore conspiracy/mytharc fans.

Also, how long after the end of season nine was it set? I wasn't quite sure; I may have missed something.

The credit sequence was great. Thank goodness for friends who make me sit through credits.

I see lots and lots of movies, so I guess I'm more sparing with my recommendations. I think the only people I know who want to see it are hardcore fans, and maybe it's not the best movie for them.

I swear I heard someone say it had been ten years, but I'm not positive.

I like sitting through credits precisely because there are often little bits like that.

I checked Wikipedia and, according to that most authoritative resource, it's six years after the finale of season nine.

Six years? Huh, that seems too short.
