Verdict:
This is going to be a short one because this movie does not deserve a long one.
This movie is like a bad episode from the original show, from earlier sesons, before the show got consumed by the conspiracy thread. And if it was just that, it would have received better ratings.
But it is a friggin return of the X-Files as full-featured movie! This movie should have reached a new level of epic or answered some burning unanswered questions from the show or…Man, we could sit here and deliberate for 10 minutes and probably come up with 10 better stories for this movie than the one we’ve been given after all those years! What we got after all these years is a psychic priest played by Billy Connolly, which is somehow connected to a couple of criminals…something or other.
This movie is like a deer that was killed years ago and then, in 2008, had a leg twitch, as the last bit of life is leaving its body.
It is shot well, but not in any particularly notable manner. Nothing is striking about it, except for its nonsensical and provincial plot.
