The X Files: I Want to Believe Movie Review

Now Playing - The Movie Review Podcast

They should have quit while they were a head (hah!)

When The X-Files ended, Mulder was a fugitive, Scully had left the FBI, and the alien colonization plot was still unresolved. After years in development limbo, the franchise returned to theaters with The X-Files: I Want to Believe, reuniting David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson for another case. Instead of diving back into the dense alien mythology, the film opts for a standalone investigation involving a psychic former priest and a grim organ-transplant mystery. It’s a deliberate pivot from global conspiracy to intimate thriller. But does stepping away from the overarching plot make for a stronger summer movie, or does it sidestep the very questions fans waited years to have answered? The hosts examine whether this one-off X-File satisfies longtime believers or leaves the truth still frustratingly out there.
