[The following is from Mtime:]
Evolving from the TV series of the same name, the story structure is not as compact as a 50-minute episode of TV series. The film tries to adopt as many clues and content as possible, from prehistoric ice and snow to news events based on the Oklahoma Federal Building explosion and Ebola virus. It has a large span and complicated threads, but the loose structure makes many clues have no end. Knowing that the extraterrestrial virus will turn humans into slaves, why are they so unscrupulous to cover up the truth, persecute investigators, and negotiate with opponents? From another perspective, the stretched front, multi-headed attack, and blooming plots laid a lot of foreshadowing for the continued writing of sequels and TV series, and laid a lot of topics for enthusiasts to exchange, cite, and analyze. "X-Files" is famous for its rich imagination, which makes people think about some grand propositions about the universe and the origin of life. Just asking questions, not drawing conclusions, is basically a combination of conspiracy theories plus science fiction plus thrillers.
