Wow! I've seen this movie now for the first time in 2016 and I didn't expect it to be that good. Love it!

In my quest to re-watch the whole TV-series, I watched this movie at it's intended place in the line. Between season 5 and 6. The X-Files is still highly watchable, and pretty fun. At least for the fans of the TV-show. Even though it fits neatly with the series, it's not just an oversized TV episode. Everything is on a grander scale, and it works as a movie. That's more than most movies made from tv-series can say. As a fan of the series, I can't say how this one come off for the people that HASN'T watched the series, but I have a suspicion it might get a bit confusing. Though...I think most fans of sci-fi would like it none-the-less.

So the black oil is alien blood, and either when an alien dies it's consciousness partially or fully goes into the oil? Or not at all? And it's also a form of reproduction.

This movie shows the latter at least, but previous instances of the black oil in the show was of the former.

"Fight The Future" is a mixed blessing. On the positive side, the chemistry between Mulder and Scully is as prevalent as ever. They are two very likable characters and both actors (but to a larger extent Gillian Anderson) are at the top of their games during the long series' run.
