Big screen version of the TV series with a plodding story
which wouldn't have even been good enough for the original series.
FBI agents Mulder & Scully go through the motions as
they solve an alien conspiracy responsible for a bomb blast, but it's ridiculously forgettable on its own merits.
It may appeal more to die hard fans of the TV show, but it
certainly isn't a good advertisement for it.
4/10
