In an attempt to help in solving the mysterious claim of a priest, who claims that he has a psychic visions around the place of a missing detective, a young married couple, Fox Mulder and Dana Scully, who work together as FBI agents, but they change their career, return and reunite again, in order to help that man, the thing that brings terrible for them.
Lazy plotting, so-so performances and squandered ideas lead to only one diagnosis: there is no compelling reason to keep this moribund formula on a life-support machine.
The film's best scene is when Scully announces she'll perform a stem cell transplant that afternoon and immediately rushes to Google it.

Is it a stirring final hurrah for the show, wrapping up all its dangling plot threads? No. Is it an excellent evocation of what the show was, with a depth of soul and character most thrillers still don't bother with? Yes.
Astute readers will note that I have abstained from making cheap cracks about the I Want to Believe title, an almost superhuman feat given this movie's abundance of sheer nonsense.
