Back when we posted aboutthe title: I Want To Believe I still didn’t feel the need to see this movie. Granted as much of a big geek as I am, I really didn’t follow X-Files to begin with so that might have something to do with it.
I know, people will say “Thats why you don’t want to see this movie” because I wasn’t already a fan. But isn’t this the point? Shouldn’t they want to make a feature film extension of the TV Series into something that makes non-fans eager to see this? Bring in new fans. Tell a good story.
Or will this be buried in tie-ins to their history? This (among other things) I think is the biggest downfall of Serenity, the movie to cap off the canceled Firefly TV Series. The movie on its own was good. But there is SO MUCH that you miss out on if you didn’t watch the series. So much makes more sense if you have already traveled with these characters.
As a non-fan (not a hater) I still don’t feel drawn into this. Is this movie leaning too much on the existing fanbase for its success?
If you do want to see this, was it this trailer that made you want to or just that it is an X-Files movie?
