woohoo, sure the movie itself was a disappointment even as a hardcore x-phile but i'm still glad to see it released. and color me impressed with the extras for that "x-phile edition", not bad for a movie that did so poorly.

but whats even cooler is that they also announced the first movie's blu-ray debut for the same date, it isnt as loaded but it has a good amount of extras, especially considering the original release was pretty much bare bones.

I love The X-Files, but this movie disappointed me greatly. It did nothing for me, other than "this was the best Chris Carter could come up with?". Now, I'm wondering what here actually warrants a big special edition. I'd rather have a SE of the far superior first movie.  

I enjoyed the flick.  I'm an xfile fan, but not hard core.  I went in knowing it wouldn't have any mythology which was a bummer (I mean come on, the alien mythology is what, in it's prime, the xfiles did best, and it's been so long since we had a good alien flick in theaters; betcha 20th would have loved the ease of marketing this if it was an alien film instead of what it was).

However, the budget wasn't too big, I think it'll make it, plus some, back when all is said and done.  And Fox knew it wasn't going to make a lot of cash off this; it truly was nice to see them just greenlight it for the fans and let Carter do his thing.

I'll pick this and the first one up when they come out; here's hoping Fox has the same attitude come time for the next film.

This film was released around the wrong time. In July with all the summer blockbusters. If it was released around a good time I may have seen this in theaters. I will give it a rent no doubt. It sounds interesting. But seriously 3-discs? It's actually good for paying $35 but are we really being too much here?

3rd disc is simply a digital copy.

I enjoyed it. In comparison to the AWESOME standalone episodes, this was lightweight in comparison to those and the superior first film. Although I think they should've gone with a supernatural creature rather the Russian Frankenstein angle they were aiming at.

And will this be a single-sided disc with a branching feature for the unrated version, or will it be like "Turistas" (a dual-sided disc with the theatrical cut on Side A and the unrated on Side B )?

My only problem with I Want to Believe was that it didnt take full advantage of the big screen, like Fight the Future did. But i enjoyed the movie nonetheless and it was a nice throwback to small character driven sci-fi mysteries from the 70s.

ill pick up the regular dvd. i wont have time to watch 3 discs worth of special feature lol

Never understood why this came out the week after dark knight (hugely unwise move) - this is a fall movie (October would have been the perfect time to release this in theatres), it didn't have a chance against the batman behemoth. Really refreshing to revisit these characters and the lack of CGI was nice as well... a rarity these days. And Gillian Anderson rules.

not a big fan of the single disc cover art.  looks more like an x-men movie cover.

Oh and might I add this movie also had one of the BEST theratrical Traliers ALL year!!!

I'm a huge X file fan and outside of seeing Mulder and Scully on screen again and it feeling right this movie was pap!

It was barely even an X file and the elements that were there just fell  to the wayside.

What a missed oppotunity this was and released in cinema's at totally the wrong time of the year - but for those features I'm still gonna get it, along with Fight the Future.

Saying that, Deception was recently confirmed REGION FREE and that's a new release FOX title. All very strange.

This movie was a massive disappointment (and I'm a huge X-files fan). Just hope they make a 3rd film resolving the 2012 mystery.

The whole film  felt like a TV movie of the week and it has one of the most dull endings in movie history (ten times worst than the Mod Squad movie).  

Why cant we get the isolated score on the DVD?

they never claimed it would be mythology. going as far back as a few years ago when they started saying they were writing, they said the plan was to make a stand alone this time. so there was no surprises in that dept.

but least to me, the problem isnt that the movie was stand alone, there have been MANY great stand alone episodes, the problem was the story they chose. being a theatrical movie, this begged for some cool horror/monster story. what we got was too subtle for theaters, especially for summer. but even if it had been released this fall it still woulda done poorly. it barely got promoted to the point some people didnt even know the movie existed. so fan support or not, fox just didnt even try.
