X-Files was decent. It was basically just a long episode, but a “regular” episode and not a mythology episode with all the convoluted alien stuff. If you liked the show you’ll probably like the movie.
A couple minor spoilers follow. They are coded to be white so you can’t see them. Highlight if you want to read them but please do not quote them since the quotes are not on white and can be seen by anyone.
As could be expected since the movie has to appeal to wide audience and has to have a nice mostly-wrapped up ending, the plot is more of an investigation by the FBI and does not really delve into anything paranormal or supernatural. There is a psychic in the movie, but they offer an “explanation” for that. It’s feasible and sensible within the movie that he really was psychic, but not necessarily. Like most X-Files episodes ended.
And it was rather cool that I kept thinking of Elephants on Acid since Demikhov’s Two-Headed Dogs (you’ll need to search the main site for that if you don’t know it. I can’t link to it within the hidden text) play a central role in the “explanation” of the movie.
Everything from the popular Farting Santa to fake Lottery Ticket stocking stuffers.
