... little grain or print belemishes. however I did find a few of the opening scenes a bit on the dull side. Sound wise the Dolby Digital 5.1 mix was also quite good. The bass really kicks in when a building explodes and at the end with a big spacecraft finale. It's the type of sequence to really show off a home theatre set-up. In quiter areas it's atmosphereic and dialougue is clear. The DTS track is much better, the bass blows your mind and overall it just sounds a lot more richer with even the slightest sounds...more

When I saw the X-Files movie at the cinema I have to say i wasn't impressed. I found it a tad boring but then again I'm not a die-hard fan but have the TV seasons on dvd. I expected the movie to deliver on all the alien glory when all you got is a few brief shots but in retrospect that's not what the series is about and the movie on a second viewing is good. I bought the first R1 edition that was non-anamorphic but had a few decent extras and a good soundtrack. in fact it was the first ever movie I watched at home in full Dolby Digital 5.1.

I bought the original X-Files DVD, only to discover a Special Edition DVD came out. How stupid I felt looking at the internet to find such a thing! However, looking at the special features involved in the DVD were less likely of me to buy it. The only additional extras that you get is the movie can now be displayed in DTS, which is supposed to be better sound, though I have noticed some DVD Players don't allow DTS and instead of good quality sound give you no sound at all. Secondly, the delete scenes. Wow, deleted scenes. And that's it, roughly. So if you wanna see delete scenes, then go for this, otherwise I suggest the original ... Read the complete review
