The X-Files: I Want To Believe unveiled its theatrical trailer at New York Comic Con and, no surprise, it gives away absolutely nothing about the film. Total secrecy has been enforced from the word "go" on this project and when series creator and director Chris Carter and writer/producer Frank Spotnitz showed up at the Con to talk about the film, they acted at times like lawyers instead of science-fiction writers, parsing questions delicately, often answering in single sentences and sometimes answering...
Question: Is it true you cut out a love scene in this film?
FS:
That's a rumor... the love scene that David and Gillian wanted cut from the movie, the steamy sex scene. Did we cut it? Did we film it?
CC:
It's in there.
IT"S IN THERE, That's what she said, lol!!! I can not wait for this movie, seriously!!!
I did. Loved the interaction between Mulder and Scully, and I enjoyed it as a long episode. As a movie it didn't work as well, but whatever. It was enjoyable and it was nice to see something new from the X-Files.
Stay after the credits, there's a cute thing at the end.

I also really like that it played like a straight episode, as I think one of the strengths of the series was that it could do more with less. There weren't any summer-movie-event moments (explosions, insane stunts, etc.) in it and for that reason it was more grounded in reality (sort of) than movies typically released around this time of the year...a refreshing change.
My ultimate hope is that they saved enough money by not including those big-budget scenes that they'll make enough to produce more (hopefully not another six years from now). But if not, the wonderful part of this movie is that it finally provides some sense of closure for characters that, for all we would have known otherwise, could have been cuddled up together in a hotel room for six years.
I thought the movie was really good. Played more like a longer episode then a movie, but for $10 I had a good time. It was cool to see the characters again if if they weren't doing anything major.
