The X-Files (aka Fight the Future) Reviews
it's . . . okay
For fans: you have to see it. It is sooo cool! For others: well, it's another sci-fi movie. It didn't really get me to ponder and think and I don't think I grew as a person because of it.
AND THE POINT IS...
Not having been a fan of the t.v. series (in fact, I never saw it), I didn't know what to expect from the film version, but I was more than willing to go in with an open mind and see what all the hoopla was about. Ooops. As many reviewers have so adroitly noted, if you're not a fan of the series, you probably won't get a lot out of this film. While expertly done, FIGHT THE FUTURE has a lot of elements that one cannot fully appreciate if one wasn't involved in the series. And that makes me wonder, what was the point of making a movie if only fans of the series could truly appreciate it? Why didn't they just make a two hour t.v. movie? Obviously, they were hoping to expand their market with this big screen version, but as box office receipts proved, the film did not make the beaucoups of money the producers had hoped to. Nor did it make movie stars out of David Duchovny or Gillian Anderson. I will admit however that the movie is not the least bit boring, just confusing. The performances are professional and noteworthy, the music is neat, and it moves at a very intense pace. However, for the simple movie goer and those who did not follow the series after this movie was released, it left a lot of open territory to explore. A well made, interesting movie, but not enough to make me run out and buy the DVDs of the series.
