The X Files Cert. 15
In typically paranoid language this film is subtitled 'fight the future', the futuristic picture involving Earth being colonised by extra-terrestrials of a decidedly unfriendly kind.
A few points about the film: first, it is pacey, racy and you will be glued to your seat throughout. The plot is clear, although it may be less so for those unfortunate enough to have missed the TV series. So it wins for sheer viewability.
Second, the plot is rather too straightforward. Season upon season of murky government schemes to overthrow civilisation as we know it begin to boil down to a familiar line in alien exploitation of the planet, which may disappoint some. But it is done with a certain panache and a bit of a twist, which makes it worthwhile.
