I hated the television series and I still do. However this film really caught my eye and I still enjoy going back to watch it. It was full of action, interesting characters and plot twists. Well worth your time.

Would anyone here like to know who isn't a fan of the X- Files? Me! That's right, I myself have never found the show to be terribly appealing, due to my low tolerance for horror concepts. When it comes to X related items, I prefer the X-Men comics(albeit not the movie, given that it was self-canceling and employs a perverse director who's a wolf in sheep's clothing almost like Errol Flynn). It's really a puzzle as to why most people like perverse suspense and horror as presented by the X-Files. And this movie "gap bridger" that connects between two seasons in 1998 is no better than the show itself. It's really just an excuse to feature dialogue and scenes that wouldn't be allowed on the show. And seriously, what good is it at all? Beware.

I've been an X-Files fan since the beginning so I feel like I have earned the right to really be cynical about the movie. :) In a sentence, I thought it was okay. I especially liked the use of the special effects. They weren't flashy, but because they weren't, they were more realistic. In other films, the building would've totally blown up, but the result in this movie made it a little more credible (stress on "a little more", btw!). Another scene I really liked was the brief silent pause after the ice collapsed from underneath them. On the other hand, Mulder and Scully talked a bit too much when they first came onscreen. Even me, an X-phile, thought it was a bit daunting! Anyways, it was good. I think non-fans would like it, and fans would love it. I loved it, but I'm giving 3 stars out of 4 because I'm very critical. :)

Pretty Good Movie overall. Special effects were ok but the actual plot was good

I great show! I haven't been an X-Files fan until I saw this movie and understood what the show is about!
