It's typical X-Files, vague, poorly lit and depressing *sigh*. I can't tell you how disappointing that movie was to me. I should have seen it as a major sign that that period of my life was confusing as hell lol
(I watched it for the first time on DVD with a male friend and mutual XF fan in my flat which ended up in us having a weird conversation about a potential "us" then he kinda kissed me but he said he didn't "do" dating so I was like "WTF?! Get lost then!" then he proceeded to follow me round like a kicked puppy trying to distract me over the next year from not one but *2* guys I dated and then dated a mutual, really attractive friend who dumped him after a few weeks for ignoring her - men!!
Even now all these years later I still neither get a) what that movie was *actually* about and b) what the heck he wanted from me!! He was like my version of Angel - *really* hot in a Jensen Ackles kinda way but socially awkward and distant but seemingly pining away for me! I'll live to be 100 and still have it confuse the heck outta me. I still don't really know what happened with the "not us")

Oh boy... yes, that would have been majorly confusing - and not to mention somewhat irritating. What is it with guy who don't know what they want???
As for The X-Files - yes, I was majorly disappointed as well. I was watching it with two friends, and we had waited for that movie for years, hoping that it would kinda pick up where "The Truth" ended - just maybe in 2012 so that we could have seen Mulder and Scully fight the alien invasion or something.
Instead it dealt with something not even remotely related to the conspiracy. And honestly, if this movie had been a tv episode, it wouldn't even have been a very good episode! X-Files had some really great episodes that weren't connected with the conspiracy directly. Think of "Dreamland", or "Monday", or "Bad Blood". But instead, in that movie, they decided to deliver a story and storytelling method which are less than average... I never got it.
The only thing that was funny was the "Bush election" reference... with the X-Files music in the background as they zoomed in on his picture.
I thought that the movie would become better when I re-watched it on DVD, but it really didn't. Such a waste of money...
I added the movie to my list of "Movies that killed their franchise".

"So, Sam, did you enjoy Maui?"
"It was... Relaxing"
"Did Jack manage to get you into that *tiny* bikini he kept threatening you with?"
"A lady never tells..."
