Blu-Ray version is X-Files Eye Candy
As a devoted fan of the X-Files series, I always enjoy the opportunity to watch Mulder and Scully battle political or "demonic" forces. The first movie was a gem, the second.... well at least I reunited with my favorite heroes. The Blu Ray version is superb and the sound is amazing. Despite the uneven second film, I always marvel at the exploits of my favorite FBI agents. The high quality production of these DVDs only adds to the experience. I would recommend these films.... after all, it's still Mulder and Scully!

It is a must to add into your disc collection if you like these movies
The X-files are classic movies. Now in blue ray version. It is a must to add into your disc collection if you like these movies. The price of this double feature is reasonable. I did not hesitate to add it into my collection. Just a few bucks per movie. Do not hesitate but buy it before out of stock. You won't be disappointed.

Excellent Deal
I began watching the x-files series a few months ago on netflix, by the start of season 2 I was hooked. This was a great deal as I was ready to watch fight the future, and knew it wouldn't be long until I was ready to see I want to believe. Saves money on buying each separately and on shipping. A must have for any x-phile.

The X-Files: Wish it Were Perfect.
I've had the two X-Files films on DVD for sometime, so I know how they look in comparison with the Blu-ray releases. Fight the Future on Blu-ray certainly looks better than the anamorphic DVD, although you wouldn't know it throughout the beginning of the film until after the building explosion. The colors are way off sometimes. It gets better though and it winds up being worth the upgrade if you are a fan of the film. However, Fox did little work on the transfer to make it look it's best. All you have to do is take a look at the Gag Reel and see what the true potential of the film could have been. Some of the shots in the Gag Reel are so crystal clear, so phenomenal, that it makes Fox look really bad and really cheap for releasing this as is. The sound quality is encoded at a much higher bit rate than the DVD, so the sound is much more dynamic and immersive.I Want to Believe on Blu-ray isn't a huge leap over the DVD, but it still benefits. The film still has a processed look due to the strong blue-green color palette used. I was hoping that would be lessened on Blu-ray, since the higher encode allows for a greater number of colors to show through, but it's the same. The blacks are better, the shades of light are better rendered, and there is more detail in the image. The sound quality is more dynamic than the DVD, though not by much, but that has more to do with the design than the transfer.The special features on I Want to Believe are far more detailed than on Fight the Future, but I'm not big on special features anyway, except for well produced making of documentaries. What they included for the two films is good for me.

Rated "X" for my files
Being a fan of the television series, I had great expectations for the big screen versions. Although I'll admit I enjoyed the first feature a little better. The second one deviated too far from the truth (so to speak); it was like "Silence of the Lambs" meets one of the "Saw" movies. No aleination, what so ever. They should've kept Scully's and Mulder's "distant" attraction for each other in tact, and not put them in bed together!

Not as enjoyable as the show
I am an x-files fan. I finished re-watching the whole 9 seasons on Netflix and decided to purchase the movies. I saw the first movie years ago and couldn't remember much of it and never got to see the second movie.I think the first movie will be more enjoyable for non-fans as it has a much better plot than the second movie. Although it's part of the greater x files story, it's easy to follow for those that never saw x-files before. If you're not a fan, I'd say just buy the first movie and don't bother with the 2-pack.I was disappointed in the second movie because it wasn't a real x file. They did have some unexplained phenomena and science fiction parts, mainly in the end, but that's about it. Not much science fiction, hardly any action and a very weak and boring plot. The only thing I did like about this movie is the focus on the relationship between Mulder and Scully. There were many scenes with emphasis on the characters and the relationship development between the two. As a fan I enjoyed seeing more of the personal life of the characters but it was a shame the plot was so weak.

fantastic
I'm so glad we bought this, Ive always been a huge fan of the x files series, owning these movies was a bonus. They both seem to continue the series too, which is important... I also heard there will be one more movie, to finish all off, dont know when... But I'm already excited. High quality and great audio.
