The X Files (1998)
All Style, No Substance
10 October 2003
What did we learn of the alien plot as we saw this movie...NOTHING! This movie had no depth to it at all. Two old actors appear in it for no reason whatsoever. Alvin Kurtzweil and Conrad Strughold? So WHAT!Why did these two characters show up for one movie? They never even came back to the series. Something happens to the well-manicured man. Big deal! Another so WHAT! This movie would have been so much better had it had a character who was alien who could have been new to the series. He or she could have provided more insight into the alien conspiracy.

Nothing about David Duchovny's and Gillian Anderson's acting shows any signs of brilliance. The show was great and the acting was good until they did this movie. Then it was 3 silly years of about 6 good episodes but it was too late for Robert Patrick to revise the series. This movie killed the series.
