DVD Reviews of The X-Files - Fight the Future (Widescreen Edition)
DVD Review: Best yet...
Summary: 4 Stars
I owned this movie three times now, first the 1999 non-anamorphic DVD with Dolby Digital 5.1, then the upgraded 2001 anamorphic DVD with DTS and now this Blu-ray with dts Master Audio. This version is easily the best version available but it's not perfect. The picture can look soft at times but other times fairly sharp. The audio is excellent. For the price (around $16 with free Prime shipping) this was a deal I couldn't resist. If you desire a full blown review on the advantages and short-coming of this BD then Google "highdefdigest.com". Someday there may be a more perfect version but this one will do until then.

DVD Review: The X Files (aka Fght the Future)
Summary: 5 Stars
As in all the X Files, the show was great! I wish they would make a ton more of these films with exactally the same
stars and crew.
DVD Review: THE X-FILES (Fight the Future) - Great!
Summary: 5 Stars
THE X-FILES (Fight the Future) was a great five star film for loyal fans as well as non-viewers alike. I was as pleased with this first film as I was unhappy with the second. This first movie was fast paced and left the viewer no time to look back. To be honest, the story was over and neatly resolved before I knew it and there wasn't a second to be spared.
The film flowed beautifully from the TV series to the big screen and from one scene to the next, and every special effects shot was breathtaking. I especially enjoyed the final scenes which presented Scully's rescue by Mulder and their narrow escape from a huge alien spacecraft. These grand scenes made the long running X-Files story larger than life, adding new dimension to the series. This X-Files movie delivered on every possible level and was extremely well thought out and executed, and was one of Chris Carter's best productions ever!
I saw this film in a very good big screen movie theater when it opened and it made for an excellent viewing experience. Chris Carter could not have done a better job of recruiting new viewers with this film which was a wonderful showcase for the look, color, flavor and wonderful mood of the X-Files. If only he could have done something nearly as good in the recent X-Files 2 (I want to believe).
DVD Review: Mulder has a yet another bee in his bonnet
Summary: 4 Stars
All the necessary ingredients to keep an X-Files fan happy are here and even those unfamiliar with the franchise will not feel excluded as the story is encapsulated despite the fact that it continues a thread introduced in the TV series. It's this adherence to the long-standing thread, however, that leads to some disappointment. I always considered the TV series to be at its most creative and inventive when it produced the so-called "Monster of the Week" episodes, in which the thread was sidelined in favour of a standalone story. These were nearly always more satisfying, and often even more weird and wonderful in scope. Nevertheless this movie is great fun and entertaining from start to finish.DVD Review: GOOD BLU RAY TRANSFER
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought the Blu Ray version to check if the quality is actually better than dvd and it was. The sound and picture were both above expectations and my X Files DVD looks like VHS print with all the grain. I love the style of direction in this movie as it reminds me of an early Speilberg's work.
A few good extra's and not a bad film.
Description of The X-Files - Fight the Future (Widescreen Edition)
Thirty-seven thousand years ago, a deadly secret was buried in a cave in Texas. Now the secret has been unleashed. And it's discovery may mean the end of all humanity."The plague to end all plagues"
When a terrorist bomb destroys a building in Dallas, Texas, FBI Agents Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) are drawn into a dangerous conspiracy surpassing anything they've ever encountered. With the dubious assistance of a paranoid doctor (Academy Award -winner Martin Landau). Mulder and Scully risk their careers and their lives to hunt down a deadly virus which may be extraterrestrial in origin - and could destroy all life on earth. Their pursuit of truth pits them against the mysterious Syndicate, powerful men who will stop at nothing to keep their secrets safe, leading the agents from the cave in Texas, to the halls of the FBI, and finally to a secret installation in Antarctica which holds the greatest secret of all.
The definitive American television series of the '90s comes to the big screen with an anticlimactic whimper. And how could it be otherwise? Why should material so perfectly realized in one medium necessarily translate well into another? The series is crisply and thoughtfully executed in just about every detail, but the heart of its appeal lies in the elegant handling of complicated and evolving ongoing story lines, which is not something movies are especially good at. The big-screen drive for closure cramps the creative style, though it may also help nonfans get a grip on the proceedings. We do get some invigorating thrills and chills, however, and a more satisfying sense of the scale of an all-enveloping human-alien conspiracy than ever before, but there's no more plot development here than in an average two-part season-ending. FBI black sheep Mulder and Scully have been temporarily transferred from the X-Files project to an anti-terrorist unit to investigate an Oklahoma City-style bombing. They uncover a new wrinkle in the Syndicate/Cancer Man conspiracy--basically an attempt to help one bunch of (benign?) aliens fight off another bunch who want to colonize Earth. A spectacular, ice-bound finale thrillingly staged by series-veteran director Rob Bowman offers Mulder (but not a conveniently unconscious Scully) his first clear look at a You Know What, which in some quarters qualifies as an epochal event. Martin Landau offers the agents some crucial clues, and several familiar TV faces (including the Lone Gunmen and Mitch Pileggi's indispensable Assistant Director Skinner) turn up briefly to wink knowingly at faithful fans. --David Chute
