The X-Files

The X-Files (1998) starring David Duchovny, Gillian Anderson, Martin Landau, Armin Mueller-Stahl, Blythe Danner, William B. Davis, John Neville, Mitch Pileggi. After surviving a bomb blast at a building in Dallas, Mulder and Scully (Duchovny and Anderson) set off on a quest to unravel a worldwide conspiracy involving extraterrestrials and a virus that invades humans and turns them into ... something not human. I think this movie will appeal mainly to fans of "The X-Files" TV show, and even they will be disappointed. Sure, it's nice to see all those  familiar faces again and to have some of the secrets of the conspiracy revealed, but this is basically a preposterous film. (Subtitles in English are available for the hearing-impaired, as well as closed captions.) Grade: B-
