I will basically say that if you are waiting to see explosions, burning buildings and hi-speed car chases, then you are in the wrong theatre.
This is the X-Files, folks. None of that was ever in t5he series and likewise neither in the movie. What you will get is good old Fox Moulder being as stubborn as ever to believe anything extraordinary and Dana Scully trying her hardest to bring him to his senses.
X-Files: I Want to Believe is a smart movie delving deep into the world the organ trading black market, but also in to the mind of a psychic priest , who also happens to be an ex pedophile. The question here is , if GOD has actually chosen this "Fallen Angel" to be his eyes and help the FBI locate a missing FBI agent who may or may not be alive. As the story unfolds the viewer will realize that the priest and culprits are more connected than meets the eye. Amanda Peet also gives a strong performance leading the investigation and almost to a point filling the void Scully left when she departed the FBI. Both her and Moulder act as a team, which sadly comes to an abrupt end before even blossoming.
Dana Scully also has a semi story line as a doctor trying to cure a young boy with a mental disease. In a way she is only involved in the fore-mentioned FBI case ,because of Moulder. For she truly has no interest in that "dark side" any longer.
As usual , many questions are proposed to the viewer, Moulder and Scully and will surly provide interesting conversation on the drive back home from the theatre. Especially among Christians.
To sum up, this is a really good movie, that will no doubt satisfy die hard X-File fans. In other words "Those who got the series" On a final note, I think Moulder should have left his Beard. Is it me or did it make him resemble the late great John Ritter?
