Description of The X-Files (aka Fight the Future):
The definitive American television series of the '90s comes to the big screen with an anticlimactic whimper. And how could it be otherwise? Why should material so perfectly realized in one medium necessarily translate well into another? The series is crisply and thoughtfully executed in just about every detail, but the heart of its appeal lies in the elegant handling of complicated and evolving ongoing story lines, which is not something movies are especially good at. The big-screen drive for closure cramps the creative style, though it may also help nonfans get a grip on the proceedings. We do get some invigorating thrills and chills, however, and a more satisfying sense of the scale of an all-enveloping human-alien conspiracy than ever before, but there's no more plot development here than in an average two-part season-ending. FBI black sheep Mulder and Scully have been temporarily transferred from the X-Files project to an anti-terrorist unit to investigate an Oklahoma City-style bombing. They uncover a new wrinkle in the Syndicate/Cancer Man conspiracy--basically an attempt to help one bunch of (benign?) aliens fight off another bunch who want to colonize Earth. A spectacular, ice-bound finale thrillingly staged by series-veteran director Rob Bowman offers Mulder (but not a conveniently unconscious Scully) his first clear look at a You Know What, which in some quarters qualifies as an epochal event. Martin Landau offers the agents some crucial clues, and several familiar TV faces (including the Lone Gunmen and Mitch Pileggi's indispensable Assistant Director Skinner) turn up briefly to wink knowingly at faithful fans. --David Chute
The X-Files (aka Fight the Future) Reviews:
GREAT ITEM 
2009-09-29 - GREAT ITEM AND AND IN A VERY GOOD CONDITION,ON TOP OF TATH IT WAS DELIVER IN A VERY SHORT TIME
Hope you have lots of room
2009-09-25 - This awesome boxed is a must for those who don't have the series on DVD already, I picked up the first 2 seasons in the slim packs about a month ago and got hooked. I was 8 when the series started so I missed it on FOX, too bust watching Buffy when I got older, lol. At around 9 lbs. this is a definate force to be reconed with, 62 disks, and no matter how you organize your DVD collection, this will stand out for sure. The box is beautiful, though mine was a bit scuffed, which isn't a hige deal seeing that this set has been out for several years. The goodies are OK, a vauge episode guide gives less info than the slim box sets, the comic book is decent, but it's age shows, the "art cards" are cool looking, there's 10 of them all from season 1, the theatrical poster fof "Fight the Future" is a good size, mine was bent at one corner, but again this set has probly been on the shelf at Amazon since release. Decently priced for what you get, 201 Episodes plus the season 5 & 6 arc movie, as well as the Mythologies documentaries. it works out to just [...] bucks a season, which if you look at the prices of the featureless slim sets, isn't at all terrible. I will need to pick up "I Want to Believe" after I'm done with the series, which, to be honest, could be quite a while.
Awesome.
2009-09-24 - This is a great show. New comers and vets alike should get this updated pack.
Totally Satisfied
2009-09-02 - I bought this for my husband for Father's Day, he loves it! He's wanted the set for so long and I was thrilled to be able to purchase it for him. It came packaged just as it appeared in the photos and I couldn't have asked for better service. Thank you.
