Through the celluloid #2: I want to believe

The second edition of the X-Files. Chris Carter's come back.
I finished watching it 5 minutes back.
A sci fi movie, without a 'end of the world' scenario is a serious waste of time. A plot about a missing FBI agent is far too weak to keep the audience captivated for more than the first 10 minutes of the movie. Especially when the person goes missing within the first 3 minutes of the movie and does not give a chance for the audience to form any sort of bonds with the abductee. Well, as one would expect, after quitting the FBI, Dana Scully is a practising doctor, and Mulder is crazy man, who lives far away from civilization, in a deserted house, with a room plastered with news paper clippings.
The movie certainly tries to have a sense of humour. I particularly liked the scene out side Amnda Peet's office, which has a line of framed US presidents' photos. The camera zooms into Dubya and the back ground music starts playing the spooky X files theme.
Apart from the psychic gay paedophilic priest, the film definitely lacks a supernatural theme. The love story between Dana and Fox has been given no time to develop what so ever.

The absolutely horrendous posters did not deter me. I waited for almost a year. I wanted to believe. Now, I only believe that there is only room for improvement.

My rating 2/5.
The first point is because I love the X-Files. And the second is because Gillian Anderson looks even more gorgeous than before.
