Book Reviews of The X-Files: Fight the Future
Book Review: From the days when the show was great
Summary: 5 Stars
Just watched this one again since I am intending on viewing the newer X Files movie on DVD this evening. Well, for anyone who ever wanted to get caught up on and with the X Files, Fight the Future is really a great flick. I think they did a great job getting this to the big screen. The acting was typical X Files so for the fan, you would not be dissappointed and for the newby you would really understand the characters being in character.
Additionally, this flick takes you all around the world, you basically visit four continents, Africa, Europe, North America and the South Pole. Great FX support a great story line. Of course, you wonder what conspiracy theories and theorists Chris Carter, the creator of XFiles, reads or is aware of. But, really, thinking that ETs are coming to take over earth and there are men who are working with them to minimize any damage to the human race. Who is this cabal of men, secretive from all over the world?
The extras in this DVD are also excellent. You really get a sense of Mulder sliding down the insides of the alien ship and actually, the stunt itself was really amazing. I look forward to the next installment of XFiles.
Summary of The X-Files: Fight the Future
Beneath the tranquil surface of a North Texas town, the future of the human race awaits...
After forty years, members of the Global conspiracy known only as The Project are finally nearing the completion of their plans. Only FBI Special Agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully have a glimpse of the nightmare that lies ahead for the rest of the world: an alien invasion fueled by the most devastating virus in human history.
And only they know that the Truthisn't out there anymore--
It's already here.
Written in perfectly deadpan, Mulderish style, Chris Carter's X-Files: Fight the Future movie novelization (adapted by noted SF author Elizabeth Hand) is a faithful reproduction of the film, with the addition of a couple of cutting-room-floor sequences to make it worth an X-phile's while. X-Files neophytes will probably be confused by the appearance of unexplained characters and in-jokes, but the story is like a really good episode of the show, and if you can be hooked, you will be. A few purely visual things don't translate well in the novelization. For instance, dialogue between the Cigarette-Smoking Man and the Well-Manicured Man, both referred to by their complete "titles" throughout, becomes an exercise in ridiculousness. But that could hardly have been helped, and otherwise the book accurately adapts the action and fast pace of the movie. A nice color-photo spread completes the package.
