Maybe I’m bias because I’m a fan but T he X-Files: Fight the Future not only handles the difficulty well but delivers an enjoyable film that is a proud addition to the show’s legacy.
#XFILE TV SHOW HOW TO#
How to do take the intricacy and in-depth characterisations of a TV show and condense it into a solid, meaningful and entertaining two hour movie? It’s a complex scenario which you can’t take for granted because every show goes through the same problem. Not many have pulled it off successfully, with the exception of Star Trek for example after numerous attempts. Making the transition between a TV show and feature-length film can be difficult. “Whatever happened to playing a hunch, Scully? The element of surprise, random acts of unpredictability? If we fail to anticipate the unforeseen or expect the unexpected in a universe of infinite possibilities, we may find ourselves at the mercy of anyone or anything that cannot be programmed, categorized or easily referenced.” – Fox Mulder Risking both their lives and careers, the agents hunt down a deadly virus and uncover plans of an alien colonisation that could destroy all life on Earth. When a terrorist bomb destroys a building in Dallas, Texas, FBI agents Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) are drawn into a dangerous conspiracy. To celebrate reaching the halfway mark, today I’m taking a look back at the first X-Files feature film – Fight the Future.

Whilst avoiding (as much as possible) spoilers about the new series, I’ve been gearing myself up by watching an episode a day as part of the X-Files re-watch event. Like every X-Files fan, I’m very excited to see the new series in January 2016.
