if you viewed this as another monster-of-week X-Files episode that came out in the middle of their last couple seasons, I bet everyone would really like it. and that's my approach to it-- I really liked it.

It could've been better if the mystery wasn't as disjointed as it was. It felt like a long episode, basically. The ending (the real ending, not the one before the credits) seemed like the forced happy ending every blockbuster has. At least it had a bit of that past vibe.

It's great seeing Mulder and Scully back on screen together, but the chemistry seems to have vanished. They seem uncomfortable around each other. Besides that, this movie has little-to-nothing to do with the TV series besides those two characters; the storyline doesn't involve the mythology of the series and the case being investigated is mildly supernatural. Hopefully, there is another entry in the series that actually picks up where the show left off.

Satisfying sequel with some answers for fans of the series. Anderson and Duchovny are always fabulous to watch and this is no exception. The story itself is not the most compelling but definitely worth the watch.

I really REALLY wanted to like this film, but I just couldn't get behind it. T'was very weak, especially after such a long wait

Essentially a double episode of the series, both aesthetically and story wise... which makes it good enough for TV in the mid-90s, but nothing near acceptable in this day 'n age. Especially the inclusion of ethical dilemmas (stem-cell research) and topical issues (pedophile clergy men) seem almost deliberately daft and low browed.

as an xfiles fan, i found this movie to be more like an episode of the xfiles, the story wasn't as groundbreaking, but its nice to see some new material since there hasn't been any for 10 years. i would recommend it, very intense, good story.

Chris Carter doesn't seem capable of escaping the X-Files format of old, and he's certainly not equipped to make his franchise step up to become a movie. So instead we're served a double-episode about a paedophile priest having visions of... an FBI agent because of.. uh... anyway, it's about Scully searching for faith and Mulder being right all the time - everything is at it was in the 90s. Thing is that we're not. And thank God for that!

It was good seeing Scully and Mulder once again. I am a huge fan of the X Files series, but when the initial reviews of this movie came out, I was hesitant. This was an enjoyable movie though. Even though it had no aliens or even a monster of the week kind of vibe going on, I think it was good top try and reestablish and transition Mulder and Scully to future episodes featuring aliens or monsters. It was also great seeing Skinner as well. An alright story, nothing special, but interesting.

I love the X-files. Sue me.

Holy Boring.

The joy for me was going to be in connecting with these two characters again. It was going to have to involve some kind of character growth that made sense, and either a satisfactory resolution of the issues that compelled the characters in the past or a believable continuation of these same issues. So the story is secondary. The characters are primary. The characters' reactions to each other and to the developments in the plot are more than satisfying. I hope for a third film in the series.

The best: the crazy russian medics...worst: the look of a cheap X-Files episode of the final seasons...

Should have been called "CSI: Tundra". Starring Billy Connolly, Xzibit and a disembodied head.

Partly boring, semi-decent, completely pointless. It took to long, and felt like a made-for-TV movie they were just trying to make some extra bucks for by throwing in theaters.

As happy as I am to see these characters back on screen, why bother bringing them back to tell THIS story? This barely even qualifies as an X-File, whose supernatural elements are religious-centric in order to make ham-fisted social commentary. It doesn't have the scope or intrigue worthy of a movie. I'd call it an extended episode, but most episodes are more rewarding than this. There's really no reason to watch this, even as a fan of the series. You're better off watching old classic episodes.
