This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Scully and mulder re-team to unravel a bizarre case right out of the tv series . In a blink of an eye , amidst a bone chilling cold and an eerily deceptive calm. An FBI agent Monica Bannan is mysteriously abducted . But this is know ordinary kidnapping. And not only does the search for the missing woman ignite sparks between partners Mulder and Scully, it defies the boundaries of science, the supernatural and the terrifying spaces in between . Its good film on a low budget don't expect what we saw in the other x files film this is right up there with the shows .

OK this may sound silly but I've seen both movies but forget which one had the bees in it. I keep seeing bees in my mind but I can't remember which one had the bees. I remember Scully was stung by one that's why I ask. I have the audio-books but so far I haven't heard mention of the bees for some reason unless I have the wrong movies

The X files: I want to believe is a very interesting film to watch. It does feature a pretty good mystery, i will give it that. And the acting was good and enjoyable, of course David does well. The execution of the plot is pretty good, even though some scenes do drag a little bit. Some of the images in the film are rather disturbing, I'll just leave it at that, I don't want to give any spoilers away. This film could've been a good bit better I'm not going to lie about that. Even though it could've been better doesn't mean that it's completely not worth watching though. I would say that if you are or were a fan of the X Files television show, then you most likely will not be disappointed with X Files: I want to believe. The ending, when they finally come to a conclusion about the mystery at hand, is pretty well done and satisfying enough, at least it was for me. Overall I have to give this film a 6/10, the rating could've been higher, but some scenes did in fact drag, and the script could have been a little more developed.

I think that the main reason X-Files 2 failed at the box office but has gone on to have a relatively successful life on home video is that it was just not a "big" enough story for a big, pop-culture based theatrical film. I remember going to the theater and thinking, that's all there is to it? But now that I've watched it again, after watching a bunch of the series episodes on Netflix (including the finale) I can see that it is an excellent coda to the series and that it should have played on television in the first place. The main drama in this movie is not in the visual sci-fi/horror element--which is what theatrical films excel at.The main drama in XF3 arises from the relationship between Muldar and Scully, which is the kind of intimate, small stuff that television can excel in (especially when it has 9 years to develop the relationship in the first place). It is interesting to see how the two characters have changed. (and, it is worth noting that while Anderson is till three times the actor Duchovny is, he holds his own in this one, instead of being outacted to a distracting degree as in the first theatrical effort).Secondary are the themes of faith and belief that were the bread and butter of the series (they weren't deep, but they were there).If the movie had been from a foreign director or an indie, and had not been tied to an iconic pop culture phenomenon, it is ironic that it probably would have been more successful at the box office (partly because much less money would have been spent making it, partly because of lowered expectation).So, I challenge anyone who is a fan of the old series, and who may not have enjoyed XF2 when it first came out, refresh yourself on the series on Netflix or DVD and then watch this movie again, but just think of it as an extended episode. I think you'll find you really enjoy it. It won't blow your mind, but you will enjoy it.
