In a small Texas town, a mysterious black substance emanating from the remains of a prehistoric human engulfs a young boy and his rescuers. Later, FBI agents Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) are in Dallas to disarm a bomb set to detonate inside a federal facility. Unfortunately, the bomb explodes -- leaving four inside dead. Mulder and Scully then receive a tip that the disaster was a government effort to cover-up an alien virus linked to the boy's death.

A solid leap to the big screen for The X-Files. The movie benefits from having this be a story that while linked to what came before it, is able to stand on its own feet and not be too confusing for new viewers. The effects hold up 20 years on and the budget it was given clearly shows. Yes, this may just seem like an extended episode of the show but for me, it does enough to make the decision to create a film out of this franchise worthwhile. Some aspects don't work, I don't like that Scully is once again in need of saving for example but on the whole, this is an enjoyable feature and miles ahead in quality of the sequel that came along 10 years later.

Just an aside, the above video review does contain a spoiler-filled rant about the latest season of the show.

This is an ok film which does follow some of the events from the series but not as good as I had hoped.
