Summary: The X-Files - Fight the Future Great Yet Again on Blu-ray
Comment: The X-Files: Fight the Future makes a wonderful return to home theaters with this Blu-ray release. For me, receiving this as a holiday present from my brother for our new PS3 was quite wonderful and powerfully nostalgic, as I came of age around the time of the film's 1998 release and was a huge fan of the franchise. I can remember vividly driving around town listening to my tape of the FTF sound-track in my first car, memories brought back to me by hearing the sound-track on the disc. Seeing and hearing the movie again in pristine, high definition form has been a very enjoyable experience.
The movie looks and sounds great, as one would expect from a featured Blu-ray title. You can choose between the Extended Cut and the Theatrical Version. There are a few extra scenes in the Extended Cut as well as the option to watch the new commentary in PiP mode. The disc has a range of special features, many of which I have yet to explore. Among them are a new commentary from the film's creators, the original commentary from 1999, the "Making Of" special commentary on the effects and sound, an alternate take of the bee-sting scene, a gag reel, concept art and the complete story-board. All of these features are well done and worth watching, at least for fans of the franchise; I feel like I now know so much more of the inside story of the film's development. Through watching the film again in this format and viewing the special features, one gains extra appreciation for the film and its director, Rob Bowman. I have only started watching the first part of the new commentary session with PiP mode, so there's a lot more waiting for me on the disc.
The Amazon.com Editorial shown on this page really doesn't do FTF justice. It was a great, and in my opinion, underrated feature film adaptation of a wonderful television series. I personally think FTF was just about the best possible film that could have been made from Chris Carter's television creation. It successfully brought the show to proper feature film scale, and it moved the show's mythology along quite a bit without immersing the larger film audience in the show's lore to too great an extent. And while the franchise as a whole was degraded by the low-quality, Mulder-less last seasons as well as a low-budget follow-up 2008 film, IWTB, FTF itself is not tarnished in my mind by those subsequent franchise developments. FTF on Blu-ray will be a welcome purchase or gift for any mildly serious X-Files fan. It has definitely rekindled a lot of the passion I had for the film and the series. Now all I need is Seasons 1-5 (and perhaps 6) on Blu-ray, which I imagine will come out eventually.

Summary: Well maybe you won't notice it...
Comment: Let's just hope they got the transfer done nice and clean this time (Blu-Ray) as the THX anamorphic release done a few years ago(This one) had picture problems with Fight the future. No matter where I purchased it.(8 different copies) They all had the same problem. Maybe you won't see it. A line going across the screen just above the middle of the picture for the first half of the movie.(Seemed to be a layer problem as when the layer changed at the dead end road before the train scene it went away) FOX says we have never heard about or seen this problem but they would not watch the disc when I ask them to as well. THX won't even respond as well. The first release that was letterbox (4x3) format was clean no problem there but the anamorphic picture is much better when made correctly plus they added DTS to that as well. I have high hope's it will look great on Blu-Ray. We will see. If you don't need the DTS and just want a clean picture you might look to purchasing the 4x3 letterbox one.
