The X-files was one of the best series ever on television. It was one of the few Sci-fi franchises that was allowed to grow and find it's audience. When this movie Fight The Future came out. It was perfect timing. The Series was on high. The movie accomplished what very few TV shows ever have...Translate successfully and respectfully from the small screen to the big screen. Agent Fox Mulder and Agent Dana Scully are classic characters that bring the X-files to life. The flick takes off from where the 1998 season ends, and leads into the next season. The movie itself is an exciting chilling journey. Mulder and Scully fight to uncover a government conspiracy about alien colonization on Earth. A true gift to the fans. Very enjoyable and fun. Classic!

I wish people like the other person who rated this movie would quit being so ignorant and childish. The X-Files was one of the best series in the world and never will die because it exposes thoughts and patterns that even in the real world outside of this show goes on. The government is not always telling us the whole story or the truth. Chris Carter made a lot of good points and the X-Files will go on to be one of the most daring series ever made. EXCELLENT movie to accompany the series.

Never even knew there was a Movie. Glad I found it: It has plenty of action/suspense with a good scifi/drama theme.. This is a good X-File story. If you like X-Files then you'll love this film.

It would seem that Matthew C. has no taste at all. This movie was perfect and im so happy that chris carter is making another x-files film in 2008. The 10 year war will end on 8/8/08

But it's actually a very good movie. It's just that if you're a die hard X-Files fan, this doesn't satisfy you. There're no aliens, not too many conspiracy theories, no Lone Gunmen, only 1x FBI from the old series (which is btw superb). But if you don't know much about the X-Files TV series & view this as a standalone (which it is according to Chris Carter) cop thriller, this is quite good. For certain scenes, they reminded me of Seven even & that's a compliment. That only miscast is Xzibit really... I highly recommend this movie to the general non-X-Files fans. For genuine X-Files fans like myself, you have to think 'out of the box' to appreciate this.

I never was an X-Files nut, but I did watch it casually, and enjoyed it when I did. I came across this movie and thought I would give it a try. I enjoyed it, but if you aren't into the X-Files, you probably won't. It was much like the show in my opinion, meaning that it starts off just barely entertaining enough to keep you watching, then gradually picks up and gets pretty exciting toward the end.

I love X-Files. I watched the movie when I joined BB, because I did not know there was a movie. I enjoyed it especial because you did not have to be a fan to enjoy it. It stood alone. No prior information was needed. I'm sorry the other person did not enjoy it. Later Letty :)

Would you people stop acting like this dumb series is so intriguing. Jesus, this is the worst acting, dumb hackneyed plot, awful soundtrack, there is nothing to recommend this movie or the series to anyone. Not even good enough to flip to between commercials.
