I Want to Believe this mini-series will be good, but, damn, that last movie was pretty awful. Still, all the trailers look great.
I also got the BD set, and it looks fantastic! To be honest, the occasional use of edge enhancement and the new fonts bother me more than the cropping. But, man oh man, X-Files looks so much better than it ever did. I couldn’t recommend it more, even if just to see the cinematography that pushed the boundaries for darkness on TV…
Would recommend picking up the seasons individually or, if you want the whole series box set, going for a foreign version: German or France, which, though cheap, contains identical discs.
Yeah I couldn’t get to the end of the last movie. Still what trailers we have make this look good and I think the X Files always worked better on TV then it did as movies. I mean it’s roots are in TV, with shows like The Twilight Zone and Dragnet, so it feels the most at home on TV.
I really hope there is some kind of recap so I am not completely lost.
I watched the final back when it aired but I can’t remember a thing about it. 😃
Oh yeah if the copping doesn’t bug you then this is the set to get and I intend to pick them up as I get money, they are much cheaper then the old sets and they look and sound amazing, also they finally have Play all button and that is a big deal for me with TV shows, I hate having to select each episode one at a time when I am trying to watch the show while working.
These sets are good and the price is just right for a double dip, $20 for each 24 episode season, that is less then a dollar an episode, that works for me.
