My timing in re-watching this film happened to coincide with the passing of Martin Landau just a few days ago, and I had forgotten that he was part of this film's cast. Well, make that four more seasons at least, even if "One man alone cannot fight the future". A mild version of a serum the Syndicate had been working on is shown to be effective in bringing Scully around, thereby providing Mulder the means to make the save, and insure that the franchise would live for another day. As an added bonus, Mulder must rescue Scully from a pod-like chamber in which she's being kept alive following exposure to the alien virus. My assumption is that the Antarctica scene was meant to provide that over the top, big event, explosive finale that action movies are expected to include these days. Here more than ever it's established that the so called Syndicate is working both with, and against the alien colonization forces, in order to save mankind from becoming a handy meal for extraterrestrial biological entities. When I first saw this film when it was originally released, I thought the revisit to the business about the bees spreading a virus laden pollen was too much covering of old ground, but I see now with another viewing that it was instrumental in grounding a link to the government conspiracy to keep the public in the dark about alien colonization.

At one point, Mulder went into a lengthy soliloquy on why he's about fed up with searching out the truth, mentioning the alien abduction of his sister Samantha when both of them were still kids. But with five seasons of the show behind them, this tack wouldn't be entirely successful in the movie, so the story line provided more fodder for the government conspiracy adherents, and in that respect, added a bit more to the mythology arc explored in the TV program.īut there were some bumps in this road for followers of the series. If I'm not mistaken, it came up three times where Scully stated that she was teamed up with Mulder to debunk his work and provide a scientific rationale against his outlandish theories on UFO's and extraterrestrials. The picture goes to great lengths for example, to describe the working relationship Scully (Gillian Anderson) was expected to have with her FBI partner Mulder (David Duchovny). It probably helps a bit to be a fan of The X-Files TV series to enjoy this film, but not completely necessary. ![]() For detailed information on billing and cancelation, please visit the Hulu Help Center ( ).Reviewed by classicsoncall 8 / 10 "So much for little green men." ![]() Location data may be required to watch certain content.
