X-Files Revelations

I get why some people have low rated this DVD. It is not an introduction to the movie "I want to believe", but it is an excellent intro to the show per se.

If you have certain curiosity of what the X files are about and why this show is iconic, then this is what you need!8 episodes hand picked by show creator Chris Carter and producer Frank Spotnitz and nice extra features that will leave you wanting more X files.

I know, it is quite debatable if the episodes contained in here are "the best"...some are here, some were left out, but as a first approach it is quite ideal.

Good grouping of XFile episodes. Enjoying the introductions by Chris Carter to each episode.

Unlike the movie it promotes this collection of X-Files episodes truly satisfies and reminded me why I loved the show so much when it was on. Especially the early episodes serve as a time travel device back to the early 90s when anything seemed possible in art of all forms. Other than the excellent acting and writing what shines through the most here is how the X-Files heavily influence the most popular shows today, from Buffy to Lost to Heroes and the upcoming Fringe, the legacy of X-Files is here to stay, and that is a good thing indeed.

I literally jumped when I watched some of the episodes....and its only a TV show. I had more fun watching this set with my mom than going to see the new XF2 movie. The episodes are very well written and classic. There will be something that you will like on here. If you haven't seen any of them, then you will definitely love the set. It is typical of what x-files is supposed to be without the filler. I would describe this DVD set as spooky and fun and well worth the money, especially if you pick it up used.

This DVD definitely prepares you for the new movie I Want to Believe, however, I feel cheated because the DVD came with a movie pass that expires on August 31st! I Want to Believe didn't even stay in theaters for a month here in my hometown!! What the crap is that?
