Plot: Ok, so a little back story to understand this better -- the 5th season of TXF was supposed to be the last one. It ended with The X Files department being shut down and all the files that went under the letter "X" were destroyed in fire. This movie begins with Mulder and Scully being in a field again, but doing the boring job - defusing bombs and such. In one accident like that, a huge government building was blown up, supposedly empty, but it was discovered later, that three men and a young boy died during the incident. Later when Scully does the autopsy on one of the body's, she discovers that they actually died from some kind of unknown virus. Government tried to cover their tracks by destroying the bodies in the bombing incident. The virus is, of course, extraterrestrial, and what it does, it grows an alien inside the host. So, basically, if the virus spreads, the whole new population of aliens will devour human nature. Mulder is on top of this, but Scully have had enough, she filed the papers to quit FBI and start over.... until the infected bee stings her and she is taken away. Yes, you guessed it, only Mulder can save her. 

Thoughts: This was such a cool sci fi movie, oh my. Even CGI was amazing, as of the 90s movie. I'm such a huge fan of the show and this was just epic. It helped that I've seen the first 5 seasons of this, as the movie was full of already known characters and references, but if you haven't seen them, you'd still get it, cuz it was totally new story and a new adventure. 

What I liked: Mulder and Scully (David and Gillian) have such a natural chemistry together, I just love it. I mean, everybody knows that they fell in love the moment they saw each other, and they are very subtle and umm professional about it, and watching their sexual tension is always amusing. I feel like the writers of this movie took that romance between them little farther as we almost(!) had a kiss. 

Mulder and Scully are just good characters, so well written. Gosh. It even makes me mad, that characters these days on tv are not as good developed and written. 

I love how Mulder gets all hot-headed when he is talking about "finding the truth". And aliens! Finally! The tv show was always so subtle about them, Mulder never really had a real encounter with them and finally! Aaaah!! 

What I didn't like: Ok, this movie was like a candy for fans, but honestly, it was just long long episode. Which I'm cool with! Give me more!! Also, since Mulder is believe and Scully is skeptic, Mulder always sees these cool things, like a real spaceship flies literally 2 feet above his head, is it literally there, and Scully isn't looking! Like, look up, raise your head up, god dammit!!!  

IMDB rating - 6.9. It was a good movie, common. At least 7.5. This movie was a perfect jumping point, as at the end of the movie it is announced that the X Files department is re-opened. I still have 4 seasons left, another movie and yes - the revival of the series next year. More Mulder and Scully please.
