The X Files: I Want to Believe
Six years after the events of The X-Files series finale, former FBI agent Doctor Dana Scully is now a staff physician at Our Lady of Sorrows, a Catholic hospital, and treating a boy named Christian who has Sandhoff disease, a terminal brain condition. FBI agent Drummy arrives to ask Scully’s help in locating Fox Mulder, the fugitive former head of the X-Files division, and says they will call off its manhunt for him if he will help investigate the disappearances of several women, including young FBI agent Monica Banan. Mulder and Scully are called back to duty by the FBI when a former priest claims to be receiving psychic visions pertaining to a kidnapped agent.

Very Cool!!!
To me, this movie is perfection.
The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
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 . its a 7 out of 10 at 1hr 43mins its an x files fan movee
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
There are films driven by a desire to help make sense of things, offer views that penetrate dual opposites and reconcile these disparities, that challenge and open up. Another kind is just the result of habit, process, or of simply there being a product you want to sell.I thought the series was a torpid thing mostly. Captivated us as teens with secretive truth concealed by adults but I dare you to go back now and not find it silly. Not only did we see alien colonists, but all the other things lumped in the paranormal folder had to be simultaneously real: vampires, ghosts, poltergeist, time folding. Were it to be made now, with all the cinematic advances on TV, it would be completely different. Here they took all of that out, all the supernaturally emblematic stuff, there's no alien mythology, no mysterious locales in remote corners, no shady conspiracy that goes all the way up. They gave instead a simple mystery about a disappearance and two viewers trying to surmise their level of belief in a story. Mulder is swept, Scully resists. This is what's been welcomed in comments as "character-driven". It didn't fly with most. We end up with basically a decent TV movie or the equivalent of an above par episode. No reason for it to have been made or seen, other than habit and product.Gillian Anderson never looked more beautiful.
Watched this movie several years ago in the movie theatre and I thought this movie was good. It fits in like one of the older murder mystieries episodes of x files.For people who watched the x files they would remember one episode is ufo's and then the next one is a murder mystery. This one fittingly is the 2nd one and that was equally as strong in the show.I think some people who went and saw it would think this should be a TV episode but it worked well on the big screen.Casting was good and the ending was good. I hope we see more X files movies in the future. This franchisie deserves 3-4 more movies.
