The X-Files: Fight the Future (1998) | Mulder and Scully's Thrilling Big-Screen Debut

And in true X-Files fashion, it's super vague and hard to figure out what's going on.

But I am a huge X-Files guy.

As

any red-blooded American would

be.

I love so much about the series.

And what is so great about the movie is that it really threads the needle of having to... take everything from the previous five seasons and the mythology that they put together, make it cinematic, but then also accessible to a wider audience and make it so that if you had never seen X-Files before, you could go into that movie and at least somewhat understand and be capable of getting what is going on.

And it works.

It is awesome.

I love this movie and I hope that you felt the same watching it again.

Oh, I thought I loved it and I was hoping it was going to hold up and it more than held up.

It was really fun to rewatch it because there were...

I haven't watched it.

It's probably been about 10 years since I've rewatched this one.

And so there were certain things where I was like, wait, is this...

I think this is going to be part of the movie as scenes are happening.

Because I wasn't sure if it was an episode from the show where I was adding it to the plot of the movie.

But yeah, it was better than I remember it being.

It's great as a standalone.

It's great as a introduction to someone you want to watch the show.

It's... really fun as a government conspiracy movie.

It's fun as a sci-fi movie.

It's just, it works really well.

And I think one of the things I was most impressed by was how it didn't feel like it was a TV show.

It felt like, had you not known X-Files existed, that there was a show called X-Files, you would have just been like, oh, this is, I hope they make a trilogy of these X-Files movies.
