Movie Review (yes, another one!)

THE X-FILES: I WANT TO BELIEVE


I had been aware of the X-Files TV show, but never watched it. I heard that the movie was good and it wasn't necessary to have watched the show to enjoy it. All that said, I still did not like this movie. There were times when the audience reacted to things that I just didn't get, so I think that if I were to have watched the show, I would have been able to enjoy it more.

The plot was uninteresting with a bit of a bizarre, not supernatural, outcome. It involved murders and abductions, and despite the UFO on the movie poster, absolutely nothing to do with aliens and such. It was on the level of a made for TV movie, and did not come across well on the big screen. Extremely disappointing film. The only redeeming quality was watching David Duchovny, who I have always thought of as being a "hottie". That was about it.

The movie is subtitled I WANT TO BELIEVE, but I kept thinking I WANT TO GO HOME.
