X-Files: I Want To Believe

Well, I made it out to see X-Files: I Want TO Believe. For only having come out Friday, I was only one of 3 people in the theater, kind of disappointing. I was an avid watcher of the show, I missed my share of them in the last few seasons, but I found the series entertaining. The movie has picked up quite some time after the series ended. I was hoping for something along the lines of the previous feature, but I felt something was missing. I enjoyed the plot line of Mulder & Scully, something that was tantalizingly glazed over in the series. The story they were wrapped up in seemed to lack something. I believed in the characters, but got the impression they were being led into the story, more so than in the series. I didn't always get the impression that the characters were working for the story, leaving the story a bit hollow. Overall the movie was executed very well, though everything wasn't in sync for a good flow. Good for an X-Files buff, but not many others I would imagine.

If you can't decide whether to see it or not, I hope this helps.
