Was the X-FILES movie any good?? Find out now!

Siva C gets abducted by his imagination Curiousity killed the cat! You have been forewarned… I’m gonna be blunt. This was nothing more than an extended version of the TV series. Granted, creator, Chris Carter, did blurt that this was gonna be more of a horror/thriller, going back to the days of the “monster ” episodes, rather than a probe into alien abductions. 80 minutes into the movie, and I realized I was sweating in the cinema. Yes, there was air-con, but my system was going through cold shock.I kept looking at my watch. “Where’s the action, man?”, I pondered, gnawing at my stunted nails. For a moment, I peered down and was tempted to gnaw my toe-nails instead. And yes, at the back of my head, I sensed long drawn yawns from fellow journalists. Were they also as frantic and disappointed as me? Or was the oxygen levels in the hall deteriorating due to the Cigarette-Smoking Man puffing from his grave? 90 minutes..and no sign of unearthing tell-tale signs of baby William or Samantha Mulder…not an inkling that maybe Skinner really was a bug-eyed horny toad monster from Pluto..nor were there billion dollar special effects leaping out to lasso us into an X-Files black hole. My jittery left pinky had seen more action thudding away than what was happening on the screen. I mean did Chris Carter run out of budget and scrape through his last thousand out of his piggy to fund this?Or was this a cruel post -April Fool’s day joke? The saving grace of the whole movie was Dana Scully (and George Bush). Gillian Anderson once again clocks in enough stirring moments to evoke the best of the X-Files and make us wonder if only we could turn back time and re-live the whole horror, suspense and awe of the award winning TV series. Fox Mulder is still Keanu Reeves in sheep disguise , and managed to muster a few giggles at the start of the movie, but eventually morphed into what he does best..acting like a lamp-post and still looking cool as ice. The movie never got going, and before you know it, you find yourself inexplicably standing at the exit of the cinema hall going “I WANT TO BELIEVE THAT THE WHOLE “GOING TO THE MOVIE PREMIERE THINGY” WAS JUST A FREAKING DREAM.. SO FOR GODS SAKE PLEASE WAKE ME UP! I want to believe there’s still life in this series. Rumours are that Carter has a third script up his sleeve and this time it will return to the paranormal roots of alien conspiracies. Until then.. I WANT TO BELIEVE *note : The movie was not so bad la…please go for it. Although a two hour TV series should have sufficed. I would also like to state that I was not forced by two aliens standing behind me to type this, and I wish to state that I do not know what anal probing means.
