Movie Reviews #59 - X-Files: I Want to Believe (2008)

Plot: Mulder and Scully are brought back by the FBI to solve a case about a missing FBI agent.

Review: At this point, the X-Files had ended 6 years earlier. And this is how they bring it back? This seems like a way too understated way to resurrect the series. No wonder it took another 8 years to get the series back on television. If this were the first episode of a new series that would be ok, but this is not enough for a movie.
           
            The movie does not involve aliens in any way. It’s about a former pedophile priest who now gets visions of where a missing FBI agent went. Oh and also the agent was kidnapped by organ traffickers. At least Mulder and Scully have good interactions and the magic comes back. This movie just seems like a waste of time. It does not forward the actual plot of the X-Files series. Nor was it that interesting. This movie never had a chance since it came out around the same time as The Dark Knight. We’ll see what happens when I get to watch all of season 10.


Score: 4.5/10
