I'm in two minds over this movie. First off, I'm an X Files fan so I may be bias. From an X Files fan stand point, I don't feel it would live up to expectations. Not only was it far from what I was expecting but it wasn't X File-ish enough for me. What I had read about it is that it could have been a stand alone movie and going by that it is a possibility except for certain parts of the story that... read more

When an FBI agent goes missing, FBI Special Agent Dakota Whitney (Amanda Peet) seeks the Mulder's help in debunking the psychic visions of a former priest who claims that the missing woman is still alive.

The X-Files usually manages to make the bizarre plausible if not believable. However, this is not the case with I Want to Believe. The movie spends a lot of time examining the nat... read more

I really love the X-Files, in all its forms. The show is awesome, and the first movies was pretty good, but what in the heck? The supernatural, unexplained, and paranormal have always been an interest of mine, and this movie was suppose to be in that ally. Don't get me wrong here, there was some of that, but the title should be a dead give away. To me the whole movie was less X-Flies-ish, and more... read more

Description: In grand “X-Files” manner, the film’s storyline is being kept under wraps. This much can be revealed: It is a stand-alone story in the tradition of some of the show’s most acclaimed and beloved episodes, and takes the complicated relationship between Fox Mulder (Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Anderson) in unexpected directions.

"5.2. Uusin X-Files -leffa pääsi yllättämään minut, koska odotin jotain ihan sietämätöntä paskaa ja turhaa lisäystä pääjuoneen, joka lopetettiin itse sarjassakin jossain kuudennen tuotantokauden kohdalla. Siksi olikin positiivinen yllätys huomata, että elokuva on vain tavanomaista tusinatrilleriä muistuttava monster of the week -jakso hienon sarjan hahmoilla varustettuna. Kaikki itse sarjan kidnappausjaksot ovat tätä parempia eikä elokuvan juoni itsessään jaksa napata kun"

"From.... (The X Files 1998) To... (The X Files: I Want to Believe 2008) Gap between movies : 10 years Was it worth the wait ? : Honestly, who was expecting this sequel? Unsurprisingly, it was a flop, even though,personally, I enjoyed it more than the first installment. Suggested by AVPGuyver21"

"13.7 Jeps, 9 kautta ja 2 elokuvaa X-Filesia takana, loppua kohti tuotantokausissa taso laskee ja varsinkin Mulderin puuttuminen on iso kolaus sarjalle, vaikka Scully ehkä se lempihahmo onkin. Joka tapauksessa hyvä sarja, itseeni Monster Of The Weekit upposivat enemmän, kuin itse mytologia, mutta huippujaksoja mahtui molempiin. Itse elokuva kyllä hieman laimea lopetus X-Filesille."
