How I want to believe this movie was really, really good. However, it was just really, really mediocre.
It has become cliche to say that a big-screen adaptation of a former television hit series is just like a bloated episode. But somehow, "Sex & the City" escaped that comparison for me. "The X-Files" couldn't quite do it.
What happened to Chris Carter's plans to do an all-out horror movie? Instead, we get the usual debate between fact and faith with long scenes having seemingly nothing to do with anything supernatural. I don't mind a message, it adds dramatic weight to a ridiculous story. However, this movie is practically all message and no scares.
It's sad that it bombed at the box office, but I really don't think I could recommend it to anyone other than hardcore x-philes.
