As with the first X Files movie, I suspect fans of the series will get more out of it than I did. In some ways I liked this better than the first one. The weird Russian transplant doctors were at least easier to believe (assuming one wants to) than space aliens. On the other hand, I thought the whole stem cell thing was an inappropriate intrusion of real world politics into what should have been escapist fantasy. Further, the romance between Mulder and Scully is strictly for the fans; it served no function for those of us who just wanted to watch the movie. Overall I’m not sorry I saw it, but then I wasn’t super inspired by it either. Mildly amusing
Media criticism. Pop culture snark. And movie reviews. Lots and lots of movie reviews.
