Akte X - Série 3

The Blessing Way 4/5: The Blessing Way Fox's Indian story line is boring. This time the only driving force is the stubborn Scully performing in "Mulder's role". Paper Clip 5/5: A thrilling episode packed with twists and turns with manipulative chess moves at the end. The best episode of the "trilogy". D.P.O. 4/5: Amazing pre-credential sequence, Ribisi a Jack Black as bad guys and an imaginative run-up of final credential. Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose 5/5: When he meets a cynical fatalist clairvoyant murdering clairvoyant, they are both happy. And the same applies to the viewers and film reviewers who deservedly flooded this movie with awards. The List 3/5: At first a good atmosphere, but it disappears after the first twenty minutes and then everything is ruined. 2Shy 4/5: If he wasn't stupid, he'd set up a weight loss clinic in LA. Women would flock there and happily pay a lot of money. The Walk 3/5: Horror scenes are great (pool!), but there are only a few of them, so they don't change the impression of the mediocre episode. Oubliette 4/5: The successful combination of the dark thriller à la The Silence of the Lambs with the "paranormal". Nisei 4/5: The first part of an interesting mythological double-episode and one of the first episodes, when a significant inclination towards "cinematographic" is beginning to be seen. 731 3/5: Scully's story line excellent, but not Mulder's due to unintentional second-rate poetics. If the characters had stayed in both lines that are only indicated as shadows, it would have been leveled up. Revelations 3/5: Dana blindly believes everyone and Fox is surprisingly skeptical this time. It´s interesting even alone, so why fragment it with a non-exciting and central story about a boy with stigma? War of the Coprophages 5/5: What suits X Files is when it's making fun of itself, especially when it's as playful, funny and imaginative as in this case. Syzygy 5/5: It starts as a satanic slasher and ends as a stylish grotesque. Sure. Fine. Whatever. And as a bonus the future sexiest man in the world. Grotesque 5/5: Perhaps the darkest and most depressing episode of the entire series. It's obviously preparing us for the depressing thriller "spin-off"Millennium. Piper Maru 4/5: The opening scene with Big Daddy is phenomenal, the rest is worse, but not significantly. Apocrypha 4/5: A mythological episode that is not that much focused on conspiracies and that gives special attention to the characters. Pusher 5/5: Modell is not a match for Horst Fuchs, but he beats Deer Hunter successfully. Teso Dos Bichos 2/5: There is no idea, no tension, it's a harmlesspussycatinstead of fierce puma. Hell Money 3/5: Good topic, moreover, a criminal movie without any supernatural, but making it shorter would make it bett er. Jose Chung's "From Outer Space" 5/5: Reynard Muldrake and Diana Lesky in a refined icing on the cake in terms of narrative starring a Harryhausen alien speaking Shakespearean English (Lord Kinbote!), sheriff who watches his language and references to "someone/something" in literally every shot (I recommend to watch a subsequent screening with the creators' comments). Avatar 4/5: Superb scenes with a "red cloak" (typical Don't Look Now), manages to induce symptoms of insomnia and a nice focus on Skinner. Only the ending should have been more striking. Quagmire 3/5: Either it should have been more serious and without the last shot or more relaxed, but in that case already from the very beginning. Wetwired 4/5: Three in one. It starts as a classic case of strange murders, but it turns onto the purely personal level of the central duo, and culminates as an exemplary conspiracy affair. Talitha Cumi 4/5: A decent solid mythological episode, but not good enough as a final episode of the season. (21.10.2016) (weniger) (mehr)
