The X-files movie... (I want to believe)
...and boy was I disappointed!
I managed to be totally unspoiled (maybe I should have been spoiled then I would have had lowered expectations...*sings*), even though my sister is an über-fan. Let me tell you even she tried to make excuses for the movie in the end. Her theory was that it was a thank you to the fans, because they only care about seeing Mulder&Scully making out and living happily ever after.
I, for one was distracted by the offensively abstruse plot that had neither aliens nor a good conspiracy theory in it. But a stupid subplot instead. Oy!
It also felt extremely cheaply produced. And it wasn't scary AT. ALL.
You know, the only things I liked was the making fun of George W. and the Mulder&Scully in bed&kissing scenes., and the showing up of Skinner (almost forgot this! btw, the theater giggled [!] when he hugged Mulder, heeee!) But for that they could have given us a 5 min bonus on a Special-DVD. The sister had to agree with me. She said that would have been enough for her, too.
Also? I've seened the dubbed version (that's common overhere) and they've given Mulder a new voice. I hate when they do that! Grrr Arrrgh!
Oh, has anyone else noted that the shadows under the little boat in the end are totally heart-shaped? heeee. Maybe I just have an imaginative mind. Also I've totally seen it as an open ending to their relationship while my delusional shipper-sister thought it was clear that they will live happily ever after. So what's the common view on this? And people in the theater said the people in the boat weren't the two of them. I totally missed that (probably because I've seen heart-haped shadows instead...)
And a last question: when Mulder calls Scully after the car crash, what are the entries on his cell phone? That looked suspiciously like "Gillian" but not quite right... Was it Gilligan or something like that?
