Yes mulder and Scully are back…
They’ve left aliens and UFO’s back in the basement!
This is a fresh spin on what we loved about the series with some new dark undertones, that make’s us question what we believe is faith, God and the notion of redemption.
The film itself is less action driven/CGI heavy than the first one, which i liked only because it allowed us to understand and follow our favorite duo, investigating and expanding their relationship, to greater horizons.
The performance of both David and also Gillian are compelling and dramatic, making us feel for them as they carry baggage from the choices they have made.
The supernatural thriller is a stand-alone story in the tradition of some of the show’s most acclaimed and beloved episodes, and takes the always-complicated relationship between Fox Mulder (Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Anderson) in unexpected directions.
Mulder continues his unshakable quest for the truth, and Scully, the passionate, ferociously intelligent physician, remains inextricably tied to Mulder’s pursuits.
