I am so glad i did not pay a rental fee or buy this movie, my local library had it for free. What the hell is this movie about? a russian doctor switching body parts. I watched every episode of x that was what nine or ten seasons plus reruns and this is what i get. Don't waste your money, if its free watch it and write a review.

I Want To Believe Movie
Added 11/17/2009

In the second X-Files Movie Mulder and Scully become entangeled in an investigation of young Federal Agent that challenges their faith in each other and God. After all it is a Pedaphille that is having visions from God. This movie is deep as it is moving. It ask the questions that many of us are scared to ask.

Disappointment
Added 11/17/2009

I so looked forward to seeing this movie because I had been watching "X-Files" from the first episode and am such a fan. Unfortunately, I suppose the writers had done all they could do and explored all they could in the series because the plot of this movie is so dull, so overdone. I was expecting the big issues to be covered and all this movie has is a dime-a-dozen run-of-the-mill psychic. RIP, X-Files: you're done.

X-FOLLIES
Added 11/17/2009

Bland, dreary and a waste of a DVD rental. Buyer beware. I almost purchased this sight unseen because I liked the first X-Files film so much, but my "psychic powers" prevailed and I kept it down to a simple rental. Phew! This movie has all the "politically correct" eggs in one basket: anti-George Bush, anti-God, anti-Catholic, pro-stem cell research, etc. As for the big "mystery", why bother seeing this when you can see the same ho-hum tedium in any of the endless "CSI -" incarnations on TV. Nothing's more boring than medical dramas and for some reason a big chunk of this film is taken up with Scully's physician angst. They should have taken all the copies of this film and buried it in the deep ice, where no psychic, no not even the sad example of one in this movie, could ever find them.

Interesting places for Christian ideology. *minor spoilers

The film itself was pretty good. Though I sincerely hope they finish the story of the series with a third movie.

But, on a spiritual note, this was an interesting idea.

Scully, who is now working in a hospital, is contacted by the FBI in hopes that she can help them find Agent Mulder, as they need his help on a case involving a missing agent.

Enter Father Joseph Crissman, played here by the wonderful Billy Connolly (Boondock Saints, The Last Samurai), is a disgraced former Catholic priest who left the church because he was caught performing pedophilac acts with choirboys. It seems that Father Joseph has been receiving visions from God about the whereabouts of the missing agent.

Mulder, of course, looks at this with the usual cynicism he has for so-called psychics. Scully, who was raised Catholic, refuses to believe that God would send visions to someone who had done something so horrible and had disgraced the Church in the process.

But eventually both are convinced as to the legitimacy of Father Joseph's visions.

This was wonderfully done, especially when it is revealed that the former priest has more of a connection with this case then he realizes.
