Alright so long before Lost or Battlestar Galactica, The X-Files was the sci-fi show that you could admit to watching and still be able to make friends. Now if you’re anything like me, as rad as the ongoing conspiracy was, later seasons got way too bogged down with the confusing details and the infrequency with which that plot developed. No, the real strength of this show were the affectionately named Monster of the Week episodes. So after the series wrapped up and an initial theatrical release closed the book on the overarching plot, it seems only fitting to give those weekly monsters their shot at the big screen.

The X-Files - I Want To Believe is a self contained story that gives fans one last chance to say goodbye to Mulder and Scully as they solve a…get this…mysterious happening. So mysterious in fact, that even the trailer for the movie isn’t coughing up a whole lot of information. Honestly though, it doesn’t matter, so long as David Duchovny offers up some dry humor and Gillian Anderson is still walking around, being all hot and Scully-like.

Seriously, look at her! It’s like she hasn’t aged a day! My middle school and modern day self are having a very awkward reunion right now. Judging by the still shots on the official site, this last X File looks to deal with some sort of alien internet predator working in an office. Let’s hope the movie gets a little more lively.

Sorry, I just couldn’t help myself.
