Ten years ago Lauren and I went with Samith & Stephannie to see the new the X-files movie (from here on out I’ll just say X-files, which is what FOX should have done all along anyway, thank you very much). Last night we went with them to see the new X-files movie. Under no circumstances should you see this movie in the theater. It’s not that it is a bad movie. It’s just that seeing it in the theater will ruin two vital parts of watching x-files:
- The ability to turn the lights on when it gets scary.
- The chance to talk about the episode with whoever you’re watching it with so as to figure out what’s going on.
The movie itself was mostly good, except where it is really bad. And, keeping with tradition, they leave things a little ambiguous in the end. Skinner turns up at one point and there are a few little in jokes. This is a “monster of the week” episode, so don’t expect any mythology stuff. Oh, and did you know Mulder and Scully had a son?
