Have you ever been in a meeting that ran long, which caused you to miss the first reel of a film, only to have your beeper go off just as the last reel was about to start, causing you to miss the last part of the film? That's what The X-Files is like.

I understand the filmmaker needed to be true to the TV series he's milking to make this god-awful piece of crap, but since a few of us in this UFO-forsaken world don't follow the series every single week (or year), the film needed to make sense to the rest of us. It doesn't. You will be confused at the beginning, and at the end. In fact, the logic of the end makes zero sense.

I know this was a conspiracy -- a conspiracy to remove seven bucks from my wallet.
