The X Files (1998)
7/10
Great entertainment for the X-Phile, but lacks the bite to really dominate the big-screen
12 October 1998
This a must-see for fans of the award winning tv series, myself included. It has everything a fan would require from a big-screen version of the series and that is what it is - a double-episode with a bit more on offer than average.

Questions are answered. Questions aren't answered. It opens up a little and gives some secrets away. But as always not too much. The special fx are cleverly done, not really big-budget, sometimes bordering on b-movie, but there's enough dazzle saved for the end to give you something to remember in this department - guaranteed.

This movie doesnt depend too heavily on its special fx, unlike so many others of this year's "summer blockbusters", instead it's a slice of typical Carter conspiracy, great story-telling with an old-fashioned horror egde.

So, all in all, its great entertainment for the X-Phile, but it lacks the bite to really dominate the big-screen.
