![]() Act III in the spaceship is nothing short of awe-inspiring in its design, both volume and depth. It's the large scale crazy lengths that both are visually afforded to go for each other here. It's not even the fact that they almost kiss that makes the reality of their connection so poignant in the movie. (I also just die over the whole scene, but you could guess that already!) It's so Mulder, I seriously just die over it every time I watch the scene. And there's something so earnest and purely sweet about Mulder's (Duchovny's ad-libbed) reaction to her, "Ouch" over the bee sting because he mumbles "I'm sorry" as if to say aw shucks, I'm sorry I just took this there, I always screw everything up. I owe you everything, Scully and you owe me nothing. Of course the hallway scene, which is so famous it's referred to in any circle of x-philes as just that, is nothing short of breathtaking. The scene when Mulder shows up at Scully's apartment at 3am conveys their relationship so smoothly with six words (spread evenly between the two of them), almost exclusively because she REALLY DOES GET DRESSED. Of all of the dialogue in the film (which honestly is just adequate much of the time), I've always felt that theirs consistently worked the best because it not only highlights their repartee and intimate shorthand, it has real weight and substance to it, too. But the kind of flirting you do with someone you already love. I'll never not cherish the moments Mulder and Scully have here that often can be distilled to downright flirting. When Carter and Bowman saw the dailies of thisĭay, you just KNOW they were high-fiving the shitĪt the heart of this movie, smartly, is the spun gold that is Anderson and Duchovny. ![]() And he did it very adeptly – there is loads of action porn in this movie. Rob Bowman proves the perfect directorial fit, with the staggering amount of mounting action in each act, the movie screamed for someone who could even make emergency vehicles slamming on the scene very compelling. Carter takes Mulder and Scully to the ends of the earth. Watching it, it really does feel as if no expense was spared. Lots and lots of money was spent on locations, sets, SFX and actors with gravitas. And the production is high in Fight the Future. There is no other show that has attempted this level of daring – to place a movie in between two seasons that would thrill its viewers and give everyone involved big screen cache. It was a novelty then, and it still is, in many ways. There's really a lot to love about this film. For Carter, this was what he always envisioned for the series. ![]() It’s Chris Carter’s perfect joy at making The X-Files into a feature film contained in one simple sentence. The second sentence in the action description in the Fight the Future script reads: "We're not in 19" television land anymore, Toto." It’s beautiful.
