"The X-Files: I Want to Believe" **1/2 (out of four): Fans of the TV show may enjoy seeing Mulder and Scully back in action, but there's little in this run-of-the-mill mystery to attract the uninitiated.

Six years after "The X-Files" went off the air, and a full ten years since it was first brought to the big screen (in 1998's stubbornly impenetrable "The X-Files"), series creator Chris Carter brings paranormal investigators Fox Mulder and Dana Scully back to the multiplexes with "The X-Files: I Want to Believe". Of course, six years is a long time. Whether audiences (fans of the show or otherwise) will remember Mulder and Scully, let alone where the series left off, remains to be seen. I, for one, was ready to (as the posters say) believe again. My faith was, as is often the case, only mildly rewarded.

Just to clarify, there is no such thing as "rural Vancouver." Vancouver is a city, and although it has a large park in it, there is no rural zone. It would be more correct to say the film was shot in the "lower mainland" of British Columbia.
