Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Josh Thornburg I have been an X-Files fan since 1993. Being a sci-fi geek, I absolutely loved the show, and I looked forward to watching each episode with eager anticipation. This was sci-fi television at its best.I was never really a fan of the filler episodes, of which there have been many. For me personally, the alien/UFO story arc was always the main draw of the show, and that is what I most enjoyed watching.Having said that, Season 11 has pretty much been a big disappointment to me. Not only that, but I actually feel cheated, as if there was intentional deception on the part of Chris Carter and team.Episode 1 gave us hope that they were finally back on track with the main story arc revolving around the alien/UFO incursion and its aftereffects. But then what happened? Filler episode after filler episode which were totally unrelated to the main story arc, except for the one episode where William was brought into the picture.In the commercial previews, the announcer kept telling us that we were going to get answers. No we didn't!As I kept watching one episode after the other, I kept saying to myself, and hoping, "Now, they are finally going to get back to the main alien/UFO story arc," but it never happened. Instead, it turned into more of a crime/family drama type show about trying to find William, and Mulder and Scully's personal relationship.I thought, "Surely now that we are on the final episode -- Episode 10 -- they are going to get back to the events of Episode 1 with the bridge scene and the UFO, the plague killing everyone, confusion in the streets, etc."It never happened. Instead, Chris Carter and team took the cheap way out. The only thing I can figure out is that because Mulder killed CSM on the dock, we are supposed to assume that everything that happened in Episode 1 was prevented from happening, and what Scully saw, never came to pass. And William popping his head out of the water just doesn't cut it.If this was to be the final season of The X-Files, then from Episode 1 to the end, I feel that Chris Carter and team owed it to us long-time viewers to give us some solid answers, after being devoted to the show for so many years. Instead, they fished us with Episode 1, and then pretty much took a detour elsewhere.Again, cheap, cheap, cheap.

ED JONES The 18-49 demo is what gives the Network heads their gauge on how a show is doing. Unless Chris Carter abandons the original Seasons 1-9 formula this may not see Season 12. In 1993 the pilot introduced us to our beloved Mulder and Scully. Episode 2 "Deep Throat" gave us the alien conspiracy. Episode 3 started the formula I like to call the "filler" Episodes. The patience of that generation before to wait for another alien themed episode was greater than today. I must admit in my "Old Age" (LOL Again) 63 years young that my patience level with filler Ep's is not what it was. There is too much TV out there to watch. In 1993 it was not until Episode 17 till we really touched back on the alien takeover. That's too long for today's 18-49's. Episode #10 to get back to the William part of the saga. Toooooooo LoooooongChris, "Scrap That"!Bring back the other two agents from season ten. Give them the "filler" Ep's. Then every week Mulder and Scully can focus on CSM and the conspiracy. If this is not done soon, I'm afraid a big Red circle with a red bar through the center will be over the X-Files. The 6 Rating only is for season 11. Chris make it a 10 please.

andylevy2014 A story about pensioners surrounded by conspiracy and fake news... No, not the Whitehouse. Skullee and mouldy. Great series in it's days but now tired and old like the cast. Dreadful stories, painfully slow stilted dialogue acted mostly in the dark. Most dialogue tries to explain what happened 30 years ago, who people were, what happened then. Is almost as if they are trying to 1. Appeal to a new audience - fail. 2. Appeal to the old audience, who are now senile - fail. David Duchovny looks like he has melted. I'm too much of a gentleman to comment on his companion. She can lie in a comma very well. Method acting I think that's called. It is perhaps good that the few stilted lines of dialogue are easy to remember for the cast. S As a reboot it is just a reboot of some last minute careers. As a new x files, it needs a new cast and new stories. It is good to see that the fbi employ the elderly but not to the extent that they don't know that a computer system has a backup. (episode 2).But to be fair nor does my elderly mum. How come they weren't aware that the x files would have been digitised. I assume assume that their ability to dodge assassination bullets is because they use octogenarian assassins. How come the smoking man hasn't got lung cancer? Why bother with an overarching theme of the end of humanity. Surely the real president can manage that without a shadowy organisation. Actually, to be fair, why bother? The biggest mystery? Why series 11? Why those 2 actors? Why am I watching it? Will I watch episode 3? Oooooooo!! Spooky! No I won't bother. Some stuff is best left as good in its day.

bigref-25637 The tortured effort to insinuate 2017 political drivel into the show doomed it. Why start out aggravating half your audience and present half baked scripts to finish off the remainder? Is it to serve some higher cause? If so make the case within the context of the stories rather than have the characters flippantly hand out opinions at completely nonsensical times. A sad end for a once great show.
