The X-Files: I Want To Believe


Just jarred!!

The X-Files. Serial yang cukup fenomenal di era tahun 90an. Temanya juga masih lumayan jarang diangkat di zamannya. Penyelidikan kasus-kasus ‘X’ yang hampir impossible untuk dipecahkan. Mostly tentang konspirasi pemerintah which also mostly related to aliens. Misterius, banyak gak ketebak dan agak spooky. Itu yang paling saya ingat dari cerita-cerita serial ini. Serial ini juga yang bikin saya jadi penganut teori konspirasi. Tapi satu hal yang paling menarik bagi saya, dan saya yakin bagi fans X-Files juga, it’s no other than those two agents, Fox Mulder and Dana Scully.

X-Files: The Movie pun dirilis di tahun 1998. Saat itu memang masih hangat di ingatan, secara masih dekat dengan periode berakhirnya si serial.

Now, in 2008, muncullah The X-Files: I Want To Believe. Wow! First I thought, Oh.. dear God! Masa’ sampe’ segitunya sih..Ketika yang lain bikin sequel-sequel yang berlebihan, film ini ikut-ikutan?? I was like, mau nyeritain apalagi? Di era film konspirasi udah puluhan, orang udah mulai bosen sama cerita misteri, aliens udah basi’ (I’m even almost sick with Spielberg’s and Shyamalan’s), then what???

After I watched it…(about two hours ago)

The X-Files: I Want To Believe menceritakan tentang kasus penculikan dua wanita yang mengarah ke mutilasi. Penyelidikan pun dibantu oleh seorang pendeta cenayang. Ceritanya, FBI udah buntu, and desperately asked for help from the legend of X-Files agents, Mulder and Scully.

Benar-benar di luar dugaan saya, film ini asli biasa banget! Ceritanya terasa sangat simple. Kurang rumit, gak misterius dan gak sophisticated. Pokoknya gak se ’X-Files’ jaman dulu deh. Atau mungkin karena udah terbiasa dengan film-film yang lebih rumit zaman sekarang ya..? Kok saya malah ngerasa.... ceritanya sangat kurang penting. Apalagi casting pemeran tambahan seperti Amanda Peet dan Xzibit (??). Duh, gak banget!!

Yup! It’s definitely not the story. It’s not the phenomenal thing anymore. It’s about reminiscing!! Tujuan film ini benar-benar dirasakan hanya untuk para penggemar serialnya yang, mungkin, masih ada rasa kangen. Atau sekedar menjadi reminder, bahwa, once, kita pernah cinta berat sama serial ini.

Fokus memang di Mulder and Scully. Bagaimana hubungan mereka selanjutnya. Scully yang religious namun sangat scientific, dan Mulder yang ter-obsessed oleh the lost of his sister, which he believes was abducted by aliens, hingga akhirnya dia menjadi lebih cenderung percaya ke arah supranatural. Two people with a very different point of views. Fans’ curiosity of their future relationship akan dengan mudah terbayar di film ini.

Well, layaknya teman saya bilang, sepertinya The X-Files: I Want To Believe hanya sekedar cara Chris Carter for saying goodbye to the fans, that this will be the last X-Files movie. Hahahaha…! Itu juga yang saya rasakan. Apalagi ketika sedikit adegan yang muncul after credit title.

But, I’m a fan.. so I’m glad for this movie.
