Director: Chris Carter
Writer: Chris Carter, and Frank Spotnitz
Producer(s): Chris Carter, and Frank Spotnitz
Starring: David Duchovny as Fox Mulder, Gillian Anderson as Dana Scully, Amanda Peet as ASAC Dakota Whitney, Billy Connolly as Father Joseph Crissman, Xzibit as Mosley Drummy, and Callum Keith Rennie as Second Abductor(IMDb). PG-13, 105 min.
A series of gruesome murders have occurred, and the FBI has enlisted the help of a psychic priest to help recover the bodies of the victims, and to also possibly catch the killer(S). To increase the efficacy of the investigation, the FBI also sought help from an agent who has had experience with cases containing a paranormal dimension. And that agent is the retired and disgruntled Fox Mulder, who reluctantly agreed to help.
This sequel was fashioned it seems in the manner the television episodes were fashioned. The polemic of Mulder's inclination to the paranormal, and Skully's predilection for a practical and rational explanation seasoned with cynicism is showcased accordingly, and it does not derail from that traditional aspect of X Files. The story was good, and the plot was nicely developed, but this film lacked excitement for a summer film, and as a movie, it may have resembled an episode of the series too closely. In contrast, the first X Files movie was, in my opinion, more intriguing and far more exciting, and reminded me nothing of the series. However, the sequel while infused with an interesting subject matter, could of been more exciting. I will grade it a C. Stay tuned, Movieporium.blogspot.com.
