aricandover Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Frankly the entire enterprise (not talking Star Trek here either) went down in flames after that....the final season was horrible..... LouieB I don;t think so, at all. I really dug the Dogett storyline, and I'm pissed that series ended without wrapping it up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

While it was okay....losing Mulder didn't help my interest, but I did watch it. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted April 16, 2008 Author Share Posted April 16, 2008 X-Files' movie title is out there: `I Want to Believe' By DAVID GERMAIN, AP Movie Writer Wed Apr 16, 12:45 PM ET LOS ANGELES - The truth is finally out there about the new "X-Files" movie title. The second big-screen spinoff of the paranormal TV adventure will be called "The X-Files: I Want to Believe," Chris Carter, the series' creator and the movie's director and co-writer, told The Associated Press. Distributor 20th Century Fox signed off on the title Wednesday. The title is a familiar phrase for fans of the series that starred David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson as FBI agents chasing after aliens and supernatural happenings. "I Want to Believe" was the slogan on a poster Duchovny's UFO-obsessed agent Fox Mulder had hanging in the cluttered basement office where he and Anderson's Dana Scully worked. "It's a natural title," Carter said in a telephone interview Tuesday during a break from editing the film. "It's a story that involves the difficulties in mediating faith and science. `I Want to Believe.' It really does suggest Mulder's struggle with his faith." "I Want to Believe" comes 10 years after the first film and six years after the finale of the series, whose opening credits for much of its nine-year run featured the catch-phrase "the truth is out there." Due in theaters July 25, the movie will not deal with aliens or the intricate mythology about interaction between humans and extraterrestrials that the show built up over the years, Carter said. Instead, it casts Mulder and Scully into a stand-alone, earth-bound story aimed at both serious "X-Files" fans and newcomers, he said. "It has struck me over the last several years talking to college-age kids that a lot of them really don't know the show or haven't seen it," Carter said. "If you're 20 years old now, the show started when you were 4. It was probably too scary for you or your parents wouldn't let you watch it. So there's a whole new audience that might have liked the show. This was made to, I would call it, satisfy everyone." Hardcore fans need not worry that the movie will be going back to square one, though, Carter said. The movie will be true to the spirit of the show and everything Mulder and Scully went through, he said. "The reason we're even making the movie is for the rabid fans, so we don't want to insult them by having to take them back through the concept again," Carter said. Carter said he settled on "I Want to Believe" from the time he and co-writer Frank Spotnitz started on the screenplay. It took so long to go public with it because studio executives wanted to make sure it was a marketable title, he said. The filmmakers have kept the story tightly under wraps to prevent plot spoilers from leaking on the Internet, a phenomenon that barely existed when the first movie came out in 1998. "We went to almost comical lengths to keep the story a secret," Carter said. "That included allowing only the key crew members to read the script, and they had to read it in a room that had video cameras trained on them. It was a new experience."

Sir Stewart Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 If it will "not deal with aliens or the intricate mythology about interaction between humans and extraterrestrials" I sure hope they have come up with a bad guy as awesome as the creatures in the forest, or that dude that could slip in and out of tiny places, or the fucked up hillbillies, or the chupacabra, or...

Analogman Posted April 22, 2008 Author Share Posted April 22, 2008 Seven years after David Duchovny left the TV series and 10 since the first ''X-Files'' movie, odd couple Mulder and Scully resume their search for the truth. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

alison the wilca Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 i went. as a huge x-files fan, i did like it and loved seeing it anew. However, I did wish the story had been something spookier/paranormal. I think they could have easily done a stand-alone story with a weirder/creepier storyline.

fatheadfred Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Good. Was not expecting much, though. It was hilarious to see Scully researching a medical procedure on google days before the surgery. What a laugh. The lovey stuff was cheesy. The gore was more than I expected. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aricandover Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 it wasn't the best premise, but it was nice to see these characters again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Party @ the Moontower Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 What is it about rural Virginia and windy mountain roads? Always seems to be the scene for cutting screaming people up. Remember Wrong Turn?Only this time no hillbillies.We get out of towners (so as not to spoil who they are).How did the hillbillies not eat them? Ok, the Scully surgery google was goofy long time, but sorta cool. She must be real smart. Title...I just now got it. I want to Believe is on Mulder's UFO poster in his office. I'm slow.

brianjeremy Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 i went. as a huge x-files fan, i did like it and loved seeing it anew. However, I did wish the story had been something spookier/paranormal. I think they could have easily done a stand-alone story with a weirder/creepier storyline. My thoughts exactly. It wasn't spooky enough for my taste. I thought Father Joe was creepy though. I wanted something a bit more weird and paranormal. I thought the story was very character-driven and was successful at that. With that said, I liked it. It had some solid episode qualities. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cryptique Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 I saw this yesterday, and thought it was terrific. I do agree, to some extent, that it would have been nice to have something supernatural driving the storyline, but what they did use wouldn't have been out of place in one of the original episodes. Anderson was great, Duchovny good. The way they swapped the pair's accustomed roles was very cool -- though Scully's was flipped much more than Mulder's. Far, far better than the first movie, and quite enjoyable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spawn's dad Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 would have been nice to have something supernatural driving the storyline maybe they were afraid of a curse? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cryptique Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Of course I'm forgetting that Father Joe's visions would be classified as "supernatural." But yeah, I would have liked something supernatural or alien in terms of a villain. Nevertheless, a pretty good flick. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobfrombob Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 I saw it on the weekend and totally enjoyed it. After seeing the first movie, my expectations were 0 - but I say it delivered. I was good with the story line. With respect to the TV series, I thought at times the supernatural stuff got a little too far out there to really be believable. This was a good mystery, with a bit of the "spooky stuff" included. I probably could have waited for the DVD but I had some time to kill and it was a good choice.
