The television show was excellent, but I'm not sure where the writers were going with this confusing and, often times, boring feature film. The story is just bad. If you want the thrill of extra-terrestrials mixed with a little Mulder and Scully, then Netflix instant watch the show or even check out the film sequel, "The X-Files: I Want to Believe", which was a hell of a lot better.
