I saw this movie in the theatre when it came out. I wasn’t a big X-Files fan to the point where I stuck with it but really enjoyed the movie. I like the fact that your review revealed some major flaws in the storyline but I liked it for the serious tone it established with Dallas (where I live) and some of the obscure details of the area they pointed out. At the same time, it gave me the kind of escapism I look for when I go to the movies. I will admit though that I was checking under my car for explosives before going home.
