DVD Reviews of The X-Files: I Want to Believe (Three-Disc Special Edition + Digital Copy)
DVD Review: i don't want to believe
Summary: 1 Stars
i don't want to believe this movie is soooo bad. the directing and acting are horrible. the plot is predictable and derivative. gillian anderson is almost unwatchable...i mean how can that be? chris carter's direction?!! it is a real shame if this is how the x files goes out. this is real B---material. talk about jumping the shark.DVD Review: The lack of a quality script IS the real mystery
Summary: 2 Stars
My girlfriend and i, over the past 6 months, acquired and watched ALL 9 seasons and both Xfiles movies.... The first movie was amazing. This movie, I am sad to say, proved that not even David Duchovny could perform a rescue. During the final 2 seasons, whenever it would get boring, he would pop up and completly reinvigorate my love of this show. What were they thinking? I don't need aliens or conpiracies to rate this show highly. I must be made to think outside of my normal thinking and I will follow. This show was weird, predictable, and played off of the desires of viewers to go where ever Mulder/Scully went without thinking. Sadly, I bought this on blu ray. It looked great, and that is my only compliment.DVD Review: Good Crime Movie - Glad To Have Mulder and Scully back together
Summary: 5 Stars
I've heard from a lot of people that they were disappointed with this movie. I think a lot of people went into it thinking it was going to be the usual X-Files storyline of looking for aliens/government conspiracies. I had read before hand about the movie and went into it knowing that it was more a crime/mystery/suspense movie. I think it would have been too much if they had done another movie based on finding the flying saucer like the first movie. It was nice to see a change of pace and I think if a lot of people would give the movie a chance it would grow on them. All together I liked the storyline, the plots and the characters. I also think it would have done a lot better at the box office if hadn't opened around the same time as some big box office movies (The Dark Knight). I think maybe if it had opened at another time more people would have given it a chance and gone to see it. I'm definitely happy though with the DVD and I hope there will be another movie. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for me and all the other X-Philes wanting another movie. DVD Review: I believe that you have to take the movie for what it is!
Summary: 5 Stars
The X-Files: I Want to Believe (+ Digital Copy) [Blu-ray] Forget the old show and story line! Watch this movie for what it is here for - to entertain you, keep you on the edge of your seat and keep you guessing! There's not a dull moment in the whole movie! Who said boring? I was in a sweat just about the whole show! Some scenes were unbelievable? So what! It's part of the story telling to get you going, make you think and try to second guess. So if you're looking for a fantastic, suspenceful movie that stands on it's own and employs great acting - buy it, watch it again and catch what you missed the first time around! If you're looking for aliens - try something else. That's my 2 cents worth.DVD Review: A Reason to Believe
Summary: 4 Stars
Despite being a self-professed X-Phile, it actually took me a few days, to really appreciate "The X-Files: I Want To Believe." There are so many simply-stated nuisances in this movie that are not only easy to miss, but easy to misconstrue and therefore label negatively. I feel this is what has happened with some reviewers, who (except for Roger Ebert who I believe has the final word anyway) have mostly garnished this latest cinematic addition to the X-Files universe with unsavory attention.
Firstly, I don't believe critics are measuring this movie on a proper scale. It is not an "Incredible Hulk." It's not a "Dark Knight." There are no huge explosions, no bigger-than-life villains, and not one CGI character. However, the impact eye candy these mega-blockbusters provide is more than present here, only more understated, more cerebral. In effect, IWTB is the anti of these movies. Its quiet, intuitive moments happen "to" you, instead of "at" you. Will you be entertained? I should think so. Will you be intrigued, causing you to think on this film days after you've seen it? Absolutely. If you are expecting, however, a nail-biting thriller or a creepy X-Files-esque mystery, you won't really find it. There are no aliens. There's not a conspiracy. In fact, the only X-File here is what the human heart is actually capable of. Yes, the creep factor is there, but the actual X-File is really only an excuse for us to drop in on the lives of our favorite paranormal investigators.
As far as the story, there are actually two deeply intertwined, parallel plots in IWTB. As Scully makes hard decisions on behalf of a sick child, villains make unspeakable decisions on behalf of themselves. Scully's storyline is actually my favorite, and makes me appreciate Scully as a character and Anderson as an actress even more than I did before the film. Knowing what Scully has gone through (as a mother) will help you appreciate this even more. And then, there's faith. Faith is, after all, the very issue of the movie, the meaning of the title. Salvation is also a major theme. Scully, an on again off again Catholic since we first met her, has always struggled to reconcile God and science--what she can prove and control vs. what she can only trust in as truth, what she knows in her heart. By the end of the film, she seems a bit more reconciled to what she knew all along. Her struggles are not unlike Mulder's, who is constantly seeking yet never accepting the truth that is so plainly evident. Their complicated relationship, rendered BEAUTIFULLY here by superb performances by both Anderson and Duchovny, is at the very heart of this movie. As a couple they are both destined and doomed...engrossed in a deep, preternatural love yet constantly pulled by their respective passions. In the end, it is a question of faith: faith in each other, faith in themselves, faith in the power of Light to overcome Darkness. Essentially, IWTB is a story of two people coming to terms with who they were, who they are now, and who they can be together. IWTB's unfailing message is this: Just believe.
Description of The X-Files: I Want to Believe (Three-Disc Special Edition + Digital Copy)
Studio: Tcfhe Release Date: 12/02/2008 Run time: 104 minutes Rating: Pg13The feature film The X-Files: I Want to Believe is a satisfying if unspectacular installment in the X-Files series, taking place an unspecified time after the show's nine-year television run. Former agent Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) is now a doctor, while Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) is being hunted by his former agency and living in seclusion. He and Scully are summoned back by a case involving a missing agent and a former priest (Billy Connolly) who claims to be able to see clues to the agent's whereabouts psychically, though his initial search turns up only a severed limb. Don't expect the usual cast of characters; the FBI has completely turned over (except for the George W. Bush portrait), and the only reason Scully and Mulder are back is because agent Dakota Whitney (Amanda Peet) remembers his success on similar cases involving the unexplainable. Don't expect the same rogues' gallery either; unlike the previous X-Files feature film, which was inextricably linked to the series' convoluted mythology arc (and served as a bridge between the fifth and sixth seasons), I Want to Believe is a stand-alone piece that makes use of the series' roots in horror/sci-fi and moody Vancouver, B.C., locales. Also unlike the previous film, which was almost self-consciously shot for the big screen, this film is on a smaller scale, like a double-length episode of the series. But it's still a good reminder of the creepy vibe that hooked fans for years. And the relationship between Mulder and Scully? It seems to have resumed pretty much where it left off, at least when you take into account the long period of separation. But stick around for the end-credit sequence to take in all the possibilities for the future. --David Horiuchi
