REVIEW OF THE NEW X FILES MOVIE

spoiler alert (but its not worth seeing anyway)

The movie is a terrible movie for the revolution. It works with the very same principles of the bond movie, except instead of encouraging the viewer to follow the truth at all costs like bond did, this movie suggests there is no point in following the truth. the protaganist fox Mulder (played by duchovny) has been plagued by one desire his entire life: to find his kidnapped sister. his sister disappeared when he was just a child, but he swears it was aliens that did it. The tv show followed him as an FBI agent solvin paranormal investigations that would lead him to his sister.

the movie starts off with a pastor that is having visions of disappearing girls. Fox Mulder is called in to deal with the paranormal side of things. mulder thinks this case might be able to lead him to his sister because it involves disappearing women. He follows the Christian pastor around, trying to have more visions that could explain how these girls are disappearing. mulders partner skully (the scientifical perspective) urges him not to follow through on this case. she feels mulder is still trying to solve his sisters case when he should have put it behind him years ago. he refuses to give up and continues to follow the visions of the pastor.

Eventually we find out that the pastor is having visions from the perspective of a man that the pastor sexually assaulted at a catholic school. this man that was sexually assaulted as a boy, is now kidnapping women to steal their body parts and add them to himself to cure his cancer and a debilatating injury that he suffered at the hands of a garden ho yielding kidnapee. eventually both the pastor and the kidnapper die of lung cancer on the same night. the case is solved concerning the missing women, but mulder does not come any close to finding his sister.

Like usual, Mulder is asked to follow the paranormal in the face of his disapproving peers. he refuses to give up on his sister no matter how many times skully asks him to stop. skully even threatens to withold sex and this does not phase mulder. but in the end what is his reward? not his initial desire of finding his sister. instead he gives up on his initial desire and goes to fiji to make sweet sweet love to skully in a little outrigger canoe.. the movie suggests that some searches for truth are worth abandonding in favour of consolation prizes.

In the bond movie, bond had one ultimate motivation behind his killing spree: finding out whether his lover actually loved him. he succeeded in doing this even though he gave up on getting revenge on mr white. For Mulder it is the other way around. He gives up on his initial desire and instead settles for a secondary desire (skully). che guevera would be turning over in his grave if he saw this movie.
