"When they said they were going to take everything we knew about X-Files and multiply it by X they weren't kidding. It was scary!!!! Not terrifying, but still enough to make me chew on my nails for a little bit! The part where they left that Scientist down there with the black new alien thing was probably the scariest part. Made scarier by the fact that we couldn't see it very well. The first time I saw it I was really worried. I thought, oh great, they gave the alien a definate face, the tv show can't go on like this now that we know for sure what an X-Files alien looks like. But I was wrong, they had expanded the mythology so much by the end of the movie that they have enough material for five more seasons, regardless of how many it actually will go on for. The meeting with the consortium was interesting, when the Well Mainicured Man gave his opinion on what should be done I turned and looked at him in a new light, then I instantly thought, I like him now, he's going to die. And sadly I was right. Was he ever really bad? The first time we saw him he was warning Scully about her life! I am upset that he's dead, but if that new guy with the German accent becomes a regular I can go on with life. The Mulder/Scully relationship has never been better, I thought the parts where they were telling each other what they ment to each other was a much needed scene. CC is seriously a genius, he gave both shippers and non shippers something that we can each look at in our own way. Shippers can think whatever they want, CC still says they are friends, I'd like to add a quote that I found online today aboout the relationship: "They are closer than brother and sister, too close for lovers. The intimacy is subtle, professional and adult--rare moviemaking and quintessential X-Files." This is spoken by Ms. Anderson herself. The scene was so well carried out that I didn't even care if they did kiss, and this is coming from a die hard non shipper. I read somewhere that in the begining of this series CC promised people that Mulder would never see a UFO until five seasons into the show. Now we weren't sure what that thing was in 'The Blessing Way,' but this UFO was the mother of all UFO's. It was so great to see it, and to know that both Mulder and Scully were on it! The action was so awesome in the movie, it must have been so hard to make. The only real problem I had with the movie was that Skinner and Lone Gunmen had a small part. It was funny when Mulder woke up and said "Tin man, Lion...ToTo" I can forgive them for that. I can't get over how well the movie was put together, everything fit so perfectly, I left the movie theatre and I thought with surprise that I had understood everything about it. I hope everyone else can. I wish they had mentioned something about Mulder's office, I really miss it. I wonder if he will get a new one in the start of season six. The letter said that the X-Files were reopened...but did it say anywhere that Mulder and Scully were still going to be working on it? What if (gulp) that skinny, curly haired, ciggarettes-in-the-genes wimp Spender, is assigned to the X-Files. I hope I'm just being overly paranoid. This movie was so great, I saw it multiple times yesterday and I already want to see it again! If CC can keep this up then X-Files will never die!!! FIGHT THE FUTURE!!"

"The X-Files is a classic television show with some outstanding achievements. However, I can't help but get the feeling after sitting through this movie, that it's producers are flogging a dead alien. This film is one big mess with a car commercial in it's center. A large percent of today's films are remakes of television shows, mostly bad film remakes. After seeing this film I've decided I'm tired of bad film translations of television shows. Flinstones, Mission Impossible, Lost in Space, Star Trek and on and on and on. TV to film. TV to film. TV to film. TV to film. I've had enough...someone call a deja vu doctor. There's a shortage of originality, someone take me to the originality ER quick. I'm having a redo relapse "Is it sequelitis again doctor?" "No," says the deja vu doctor, "This time it looks like an advanced case of television reguritationitus. Let's wheel you into the theater to make sure." I can yell, "Enough already you film company idiots! Stop raping television and come up with something new! " all I want, and it won't change a thing. The movie-going public wants to travel like flocks into movie theaters to see a television show their already familiar with redone on the big screen and who cares? That's fine. Big budget movie making is a business like any other, they're not interested in art or the provocation of the imagination, but in making money. For the most part, major film companies are in the business of selling..not great art..but marketable product. The X-Files is marketable product. X-Files film..it's understandable...financially. Is it understandable artistically? Artistically and not financially speaking, does every television show have to be redone as a film? There's no artistic reason as far as I can see for this X-Files film. More special effects, and a bigger screen do not enhance the artistic quality of a cerebral, imagination based, already film quality (if not better than film quality) television show. If you want to remake a show like the X-Files on a really big movie screen ( a lot of people, already own pretty big home television systems), at least filter the show through a film director that can give a new slant on it, an artist with a strong unique personal vision. An X-Files movie directed by Tim Burton (who remade Batman interestingly), or David Lynch for example, would have been a worthwhile experiment, at least artistically it would have justified the making of the film. As far as the X-Files television series is concerned, I believe it too has run it's course. There comes a time to stop and this movie should have been the grand finale, the final solution, which would have justified it's existence in a social instead of merely financial way, everyone communally sharing the shows end. Instead we get more unresolved plot lines, more questions. Enough! X-Files 3,4,5,6,7, at what point does Twentieth Century Fox stop. When theres no more money to be made of course, and who can blame them, money, not art, rules the corporate world."

"Wow, this was by far the best movie that I have ever seen. After all of the speculation and theories behind 'Fight the Future,' finally getting to actually witness it became that much more spectatular. So much was explained, and so much more was left to be explained, that there is no conceivable way for me to relate it all. The plot was well-developed and easy enough for a new viewer to understand, while providing the X-Phile with two hours of intrigue. Even though I VERY much wanted to see Mulder and Scully finally get together, I have to give a lot of credit to Chris Carter for his ingenious plot designed to only allow us to glimpse at, but not fully experience, Mulder and Scully's mutual need for each other. The scene where they almost kissed left everyone in my theater on the edge of their seats, only to be disappointed, and drug along for another season waiting to see if their professional chemistry will lead to anything more. However, despite my hopes for anything more than a professional relationship between the two, I'm very glad that the movie worked out how it did: the X-Files reopened, Mulder saving Scully's life, the government conspiracies brought to life, the black oil finally being explained... this movie was definitely worth standing in a line of other philes early in the morning to guarantee a seat. Whether or not the movie critics agreed with me is most likely because they didn't understand what the heck was going on, but in my opinion, this movie was able to live up to all of the hype and rumors surrounding it, and exceed them all. Way to go Chris, David, and Gillian!"

"I loved it! It is my favorite movie of all time! I will see it more than just once! Most definately! I can't wait to see it again! I keep thinking about it! It made me hyper! I had my fists in balls the whole time. I loved the wonderful acting, and all the action! I loved the humor it contained, too! After I saw the movie, I went out and bought the soundtrack. It's real good too. There are still questions to be answered, like whats up with Samanthia? And what really went on when Scully was abducted? And I wanna know what is Krycek's involvment? Well I will just wait and see! I took my cousin and best friend, and they weren't exactly Philes. They only wacthed X-Files a few times. After the movie, they told me they are now new Pre-Philes! Thats pretty powerful! They LOVED the movie too! I thought that was real cool! WoW!! I'm in LOVE with the X-Files! Always have been, and always will be!"

"I liked the movie in general. All of the twists and turns of the movie led to an indepth discussion about it afterwards with my X-Phile family. Some of us were lost, so of us were able to answer questions, none of us were able to answer all of the questions that we had on our minds since the beginning of the season (that's me), and some of us were even able to raise a few more questions. I liked all of the references to past X-Files episodes and even the abduction of Scully by the mysterious group, but I thought the end reminded me a bit too much of what a combo of X-Files, Aliens, and the Abyss would be like. And, yes, I was the person, in the middle of the theater who coughed throughout the movie and everyone else wished would go home and take some cough medicine. Sorry, but I had to see the movie on opening weekend despite a cold."

"The movie was great, but there were a few unreasonalbe things. First off, how does CSM manage to be everywhere Mulder is? And, what was up with the Well Manicured Man helping Mulder, than blowing himself up? What was up with Special Agent in Charge? He said he would defuse it then he just sits there and prays while Scully and Mulder are led to take the fall and the review council doesn't believe a word that they say. How did they get the corn field in Tunisia? Unless it was special effects, the producers of the mavie wasted major corn on it. The worst part was the kiss. Everyone said Scully and Mulder kiss, but right when they were about to, the bee stung her. That was a major turnoff of the movie."
