Plot Summary:
|
The long-running sci-fi TV series gets the distinguished-screen treatment in this thrilling put into the limelight film. When a arsonist bombshell destroys a erection in Dallas, Texas, FBI agents Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) are drawn into a rickety cabal surpassing anything they've ever encountered. With the dubious relief of a paranoid doctor (Academy Award-winner Martin Landau), Mulder and Scully risk their careers and their lives to chase down a deadly virus which may be alien in origin--and could ruin all viability on earth. Their searching of the truth p... its them against the Cigarette-Smoking Cuff (William B. Davis) and the mysterious Crime family, persuasive men who will a standstill at nothing to also gaol their secrets tried. The agents wend one's way from a fall in in Texas to the halls of the FBI and, definitely, to a covert crowning in Antarctica, where Mulder witnesses some shocking events.

The truth is here (some of it).
Duchovny and Andersen show off their great chemistry, and old school mobile phones, in this paranoia and intrigue laden film of the TV show franchise.

After several series of televisual foreplay, the X-Files big screen debut gives you yet more foreplay but with bigger monsters.
Following a huge (and largely gratuitous) explosive opener, Mulder and Scully head off in search of a plot involving hibernating aliens, killer-bees, sinister organizations, whispering informants and buried spaceships but are thwarted every step of the way by their unsympathetic superiors, who seem to fire them on a regular basis.
The usual unconsummated sexual tension runs high as Scully requires rescue from an Alien-style incubator, and although the pair's lips do lock it's only mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, which doesn't count. Excellent!
