Chris Carter had the daunting task of pleasing fans of the show, while at the same time not alienating those new to it. It's a balancing act that he mostly achieved, but in the end it's probably best enjoyed by those who are already fans.

One big, vaguely ominous blur, in which nothing really seems to be at stake except Chris Carter's future as a movie creator.

The X-Files movie is really just a two-hour teaser for the series's sixth season. And little else.
