Notes

Story Synopsis:
A real treat for fans of the award-winning television series, The X Files movie finds Special Agents Mulder (Duchovny) and Scully (Anderson) closer than they have ever been to unlocking the secrets behind government conspiracies. Continuing series’ plot elements and characters were incorporated into the film.

DVD Picture:
With a film that is often dark, the non-anamorphic DVD exhibits superb shadow delineation. Color balance is natural, with accurate fleshtones, rich and warm colors and deep, true blacks. Imagery is sharp, with fine detail and definition. There is no distracting compression pixelization or other video artifacts for a picture that is superb throughout, though one that should have been anamorphic. The DVD is framed at 2.35:1.

Soundtrack:
The Dolby® Digital discrete 5.1 soundtrack is outstanding. Surround presence is often very aggressive with effective split surround effects. The Mark Snow music score is well recorded with an expanded soundstage. Dialogue is often ADR-produced and muffled, but otherwise spatially suggestive. Bass extension is sometimes deep and powerful with effective .1 LFE, for an engaging soundtrack overall.

DVD/Previously Reviewed LD Comparative Review:

When compared to the excellent LaserDisc reviewed in Issue 30, the non-anamorphic DVD exhibits better resolved shadow delineation. Color balance is subtly more natural, with accurate fleshtones, rich and warm colors and deep, true blacks. Imagery is slightly sharper on the DVD, with more fine detail and definition. There is no distracting compression pixelization or other video artifacts for a picture that is superb throughout, though one that should have been anamorphic. The DVD is framed at 2.35:1.

The Dolby® Digital discrete 5.1 soundtrack is the same outstanding soundtrack as reviewed on LaserDisc. Surround presence is often very aggressive with effective split surround effects. The Mark Snow music score is well recorded with an expanded soundstage. Dialogue is often ADR-produced and muffled, but otherwise spatially suggestive. Bass extension is sometimes deep and powerful with effective .1 LFE, for an engaging soundtrack overall.
