Thanks for the review. Looks like I'll be spending my $8 on a six pack of fine beer and watching all the Krycek episodes (plus Jose Chung's 'From Outer Space'). Again!

I am a monstrous X-Files fan, with an "I Want to Believe" poster on my wall...

But - "There are no aliens. There's no government conspiracy. There aren't even any rad monsters, genetic anomalies, or clever metanods to the show's history" - I care not a smidge for this movie. Thanks for the review. It confirmed my fears.

I like this review from www.rottentomatoes.com :

"The greatest X-File of all may be solving what paranormal phenomenon convinced Fox to greenlight this piece of crap. "

Jeeze, this movie sounds so bad I think I'll avoid it just so I don't become disenchanted with The X-Files.

NICE.

That's going to be my new IM name.
