Although not as good as the series, it was still fantastic to see Scully and Mulder on the BIG SCREEN!!!!!
Editorial Review:
Thirty-seven thousand years ago, a deadly secret was buried in a cave in Texas. Now the secret has been unleashed. And it's discovery may mean the end of all humanity."The plague to end all plagues"
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 surpassing anything they've ever encountered. With the dubious assistance of a paranoid doctor (Academy Award -winner Martin Landau). Mulder and Scully risk their careers and their lives to hunt down a deadly virus which may be extraterrestrial in origin - and could destroy all life on earth. Their pursuit of truth pits them against the mysterious Syndicate, powerful men who will stop at nothing to keep their secrets safe, leading the agents from the cave in Texas, to the halls of the FBI, and finally to a secret installation in Antarctica which holds the greatest secret of all.

A Very Good Season, Not THE Best Though... 4 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.
X-Files season 3. Ah, bliss. The show had not yet become overly complicated, and the dismal days of Doggett and Reyes were far off. Just Mulder and Scully and some good old fashioned recurring conspiracy characters for ya!
I like this season. It is one of the top four I would say, and many people will disagree, calling it the best set of episodes the series has to offer. I couldn't argue with that, it just all has to do with personal preference.
Season 3 is actually pretty lighthearted, with some interesting twists and turns intertwined throughout. The mythology episodes in this season, however, are some of my least favorite, dealing with the alien healer Jeremiah Smith, the black oil, and a digital recorder with evidence of an alien conspiracy. This does have an exception, however. "Nisei" and "731", especially the latter, are two of the most exceptional episodes ever created. It is also a delight to witness Alex Krycek under control of the black cancer, towards the end of the season. Let's just say that when it leaves his body in the abandoned missile silo, chills ran up my spine. Truly haunting!
As far as monster of the week episodes go, I have to say I wasn't a huge fan of this bunch. "Avatar" wad particularly annoying for me, adding a convoluted Skinner plotline and just throwing out the paranormal element in the middle of the episode. There are also many comic elements to these MOTW episodes. Jose Chung is possibly the most famous comic X-Files episode. Personally, I like the darker, more frightening episodes the best, but nontheless these are all a delight to watch.
"Quagmire", while not scary in the least, is a very fun episode because it almost tricks you into thinking that Mulder is wrong just this one time, but then again the truth is never what it seems. Keep an eye out for this one, there is a great balance of chemistry between Mulder and Scully.
The special features are in abundance here, with deleted scenes, behind the scenes, commentary, interviews, and promo spots. It will keep you busy for hours.
Any X-Phile must pick up this set. Hell, I think any fan should own at least seasons 1-6, as they are terrific, all of them. But season 3 is a terrific investment, and some of the best hours of the best sci-fi series of all time.
Editorial Review:
This season, series creator Chris Carter expanded the mythology with plots like the alien black oil and Scully's implant, but also further developed the show's trademark humor and continued to explore paranormal possibilities.

one of the very best of the series 4 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
Ive been trying to keep some kind of record of each episode of the x-files (of which there were nine seasons) for some time now but with little success. This is a geeky thing for me to do firstly because of the series itself (sci fi, alien abductions anyone?) and also just trying to provide a summary for a show that had some 180 plus episodes is a little bit obsessive. The problem seems to be that I put on an episode (I have alot of time because I am now unemployed yes?) and then I potter around, fix a coffee, my hair, my lunch and have no idea as to what's gone on with the aliens. I can just about remember whether what Ive seen is either a 'mythological' or 'stand alone' episode. Mythological tales begun with Fox Mulder's sister being abducted by non- humans when he was a child and then general alien related stories which always effect Mulder and Dana Scully is some emotional and physical way. Stand alone episodes are about everything elses and can be silly, funny, ironic, frightening, complicated, dull; you get the point. They are always resloved in the same episode.
I'm currently watching Season 7 and have worked my way here starting with season 1 in season order. I watched the first 5 seasons when they originally aired. Looking at them now they seem dated and crude; the chemistry between Mulder and Scully which is really the defining point of the show, undeveloped. By season 6 I'd begun to actually stop experimenting with my hair and was sitting down watching the show. When I took out season 7 from the box I realised that I already knew many of the episodes from title and was very familiar to the plots and had enjoyed many of the episodes already. See our heros had really begun to fully inhabite their charaters and the emotional dynamic between the two had well truly taken off. I think this season is also the one in which Mulder leaves, to come back only for those 'Myth' episodes and the series final. So a beautifully acted season, funny and engaging and fully realised.

Seeing the 9th season through the lens of time 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.
I have finally compiled the entire nine seasons of X-Files on DVD, a goal I have had for some time, mainly in the interest of completeness. I was pleased and surprised when viewing seasons 8 and 9 this year to be impressed by the excellent casting of Robert Patrick (John Doggett) and Annabeth Gish (Monica Reyes) and riveted by the increasing intensity of the storyline.
When I watched the original shows on TV, like most people, I was still focused on "Mulder's not here, and the show is not as good." Now, years later, instead of Mulder's absence being a negative, it is a strong tension-builder that drives the intensity of the remaining actors, especially the underrated Robert Patrick.
I plan to re-watch season 9 soon! I highly recommend it.
Editorial Review:
Now you can own the entire ninth season of THE X-FILES?. All 19 classic episodes (including the 2-hour series finale) are available for the first time in this exclusive 7-disc collector?s edition. From the revelation about Scully?s baby in ?Nothing Important Happened Today? and the mystery surrounding the murder of Agent Doggett?s son in ?Release? to Mulder?s final confrontation with those who would deny ?The Truth,? these Season Nine episodes are a must for every X-Files fan!

The X-Files - Fight the Future Great Yet Again on Blu-ray 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.
The X-Files: Fight the Future makes a wonderful return to home theaters with this Blu-ray release. For me, receiving this as a holiday present from my brother for our new PS3 was quite wonderful and powerfully nostalgic, as I came of age around the time of the film's 1998 release and was a huge fan of the franchise. I can remember vividly driving around town listening to my tape of the FTF sound-track in my first car, memories brought back to me by hearing the sound-track on the disc. Seeing and hearing the movie again in pristine, high definition form has been a very enjoyable experience.
The movie looks and sounds great, as one would expect from a featured Blu-ray title. You can choose between the Extended Cut and the Theatrical Version. There are a few extra scenes in the Extended Cut as well as the option to watch the new commentary in PiP mode. The disc has a range of special features, many of which I have yet to explore. Among them are a new commentary from the film's creators, the original commentary from 1999, the "Making Of" special commentary on the effects and sound, an alternate take of the bee-sting scene, a gag reel, concept art and the complete story-board. All of these features are well done and worth watching, at least for fans of the franchise; I feel like I now know so much more of the inside story of the film's development. Through watching the film again in this format and viewing the special features, one gains extra appreciation for the film and its director, Rob Bowman. I have only started watching the first part of the new commentary session with PiP mode, so there's a lot more waiting for me on the disc.
The Amazon.com Editorial shown on this page really doesn't do FTF justice. It was a great, and in my opinion, underrated feature film adaptation of a wonderful television series. I personally think FTF was just about the best possible film that could have been made from Chris Carter's television creation. It successfully brought the show to proper feature film scale, and it moved the show's mythology along quite a bit without immersing the larger film audience in the show's lore to too great an extent. And while the franchise as a whole was degraded by the low-quality, Mulder-less last seasons as well as a low-budget follow-up 2008 film, IWTB, FTF itself is not tarnished in my mind by those subsequent franchise developments. FTF on Blu-ray will be a welcome purchase or gift for any mildly serious X-Files fan. It has definitely rekindled a lot of the passion I had for the film and the series. Now all I need is Seasons 1-5 (and perhaps 6) on Blu-ray, which I imagine will come out eventually.

I REALLY WANT TO BUY THE 8th SEASON OF THE X-FILES BUT EVER SINCE IT WAS UPLOADED, THERE ARE NO CHECK BOXES TO BUY EACH EPISODE. NO ONE HAS BOUGHT IT YET BECAUSE YOU CANNOT BUY IT, IT IS NOT WORKING. PLEASE AMAZON, FIX THIS! ADD THE CHECK BOXES SO EPISODES CAN BE PURCHASED (USING BOTH ie AND FIREFOX THERE ARE NO CHECK BOXES).
The X-files recreated for 2 final seasons! 5 out of 5 stars.

While the 8th season limits Mulder to only a few bit parts, it strengthens Scully to a sharp point. Gillian's performances remove any doubt that she is a capable actor. She carried the last 2 seasons with strong supporting roles from Patrick, Pileggi, and Gish.
While many see the 8th and 9th season as the [...] stepchildren of the X-Files, I see them as genuine extensions of a truly great television series.
I am disappointed that Chris Carter did not use Patrick and Gish in his latest movie. I feel that their contribution would probably have increased it's viewership. But then again, maybe many of the X-Files viewers were just fair weather fans to begin with. This could be the reason so many disliked the last 2 seasons and then vilified the "I Want to Believe" movie, which I felt was a very well written, if not a swan song, to a most memorable show.
I am one of those fans who watches the season over and over...and even though I have seen them 3 times each, I gain more insight into the world that Chris Carter created!

The Power, The Passion, The Glory ~ Welcome To The Xenaverse! 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
Yes, 'Xena: Warrior Princess' is truly a television series for the ages. While her adventures and exploits may range from the exhilarating to the absurd and the acting most of the time way over-the-top somehow, believe it or not, it was always tons of fun and the cast of characters where played to perfection by everyone involved.
Here it is, all six seasons of `Xena: Warrior Princess' just within your reach. Yes you could by a season or two separately but what would be the point? This is an evolving saga that has to be viewed in its entirety to be fully understood and appreciated. The action is fast and furious, the drama dark and foreboding, the comedy slapstick and the cast exceptional. There isn't a household on Olympus that doesn't own the complete set, shouldn't you?
Postscript: Thanks for the memories Lucy and Renee, I mean Xena and Gabrielle! Keep your fingers crossed for a television reunion special someday.
Excellent! =) 5 out of 5 stars.

Editorial Review:
The definitive American television series of the '90s comes to the big screen with an anticlimactic whimper. And how could it be otherwise? Why should material so perfectly realized in one medium necessarily translate well into another? The series is crisply and thoughtfully executed in just about every detail, but the heart of its appeal lies in the elegant handling of complicated and evolving ongoing story lines, which is not something movies are especially good at. The big-screen drive for closure cramps the creative style, though it may also help nonfans get a grip on the proceedings. We do get some invigorating thrills and chills, however, and a more satisfying sense of the scale of an all-enveloping human-alien conspiracy than ever before, but there's no more plot development here than in an average two-part season-ending. FBI black sheep Mulder and Scully have been temporarily transferred from the X-Files project to an anti-terrorist unit to investigate an Oklahoma City-style bombing. They uncover a new wrinkle in the Syndicate/Cancer Man conspiracy--basically an attempt to help one bunch of (benign?) aliens fight off another bunch who want to colonize Earth. A spectacular, ice-bound finale thrillingly staged by series-veteran director Rob Bowman offers Mulder (but not a conveniently unconscious Scully) his first clear look at a You Know What, which in some quarters qualifies as an epochal event. Martin Landau offers the agents some crucial clues, and several familiar TV faces (including the Lone Gunmen and Mitch Pileggi's indispensable Assistant Director Skinner) turn up briefly to wink knowingly at faithful fans. --David Chute

This DVD definitely prepares you for the new movie I Want to Believe, however, I feel cheated because the DVD came with a movie pass that expires on August 31st! I Want to Believe didn't even stay in theaters for a month here in my hometown!! What the crap is that?
Scary, Fun, Well Written 4 out of 5 stars.

I literally jumped when I watched some of the episodes....and its only a TV show. I had more fun watching this set with my mom than going to see the new XF2 movie. The episodes are very well written and classic. There will be something that you will like on here. If you haven't seen any of them, then you will definitely love the set. It is typical of what x-files is supposed to be without the filler. I would describe this DVD set as spooky and fun and well worth the money, especially if you pick it up used.
Nostalgic Look Back at a Great TV Show 3 out of 5 stars.

Unlike the movie it promotes this collection of X-Files episodes truly satisfies and reminded me why I loved the show so much when it was on. Especially the early episodes serve as a time travel device back to the early 90s when anything seemed possible in art of all forms. Other than the excellent acting and writing what shines through the most here is how the X-Files heavily influence the most popular shows today, from Buffy to Lost to Heroes and the upcoming Fringe, the legacy of X-Files is here to stay, and that is a good thing indeed.
