Time Out

Lazy plotting, so-so performances and squandered ideas lead to only one diagnosis: there is no compelling reason to keep this moribund formula on a life-support machine.

The X Files: I Want to Believe ... feels like a TV episode that's been stretched out of shape, like a badly washed jumper

The film's best scene is when Scully announces she'll perform a stem cell transplant that afternoon and immediately rushes to Google it.

Is it a stirring final hurrah for the show, wrapping up all its dangling plot threads? No. Is it an excellent evocation of what the show was, with a depth of soul and character most thrillers still don't bother with? Yes.

Astute readers will note that I have abstained from making cheap cracks about the I Want to Believe title, an almost superhuman feat given this movie's abundance of sheer nonsense.

Even the apologists will have to admit that this is not the X-Files movie they'd hoped for.

The movie gets into some pretty freaky territory in the third act, but for this casual fan of the series, it's a strong effort featuring some great characters.

There may be no going back, as much as we might want to believe otherwise.

A sloppy, second-rate entry in the catalog of standalone X-Files adventures.

There was a lot of secrecy surrounding the new X-Files movie... But the film's big secret is out now: it sucks.

Only a fan would be inclined to tolerate this dunderheaded mystery.
