The book was good for what it was. It goes into great depth of how hard it is to make a movie. I thought the book got boring at times. I would recommend this book to the true x-files fan or just anyone who wants to see how a movie is made.

An excellent story of the creation of the movie. Jody Duncan in the perfect author for this type of book. Ms Duncan is the editor of Cinefex, a brilliant journal on visual effects. As such she has extensive knowledge on the processes and trials of filmmaking. What this means is that this book is no "making of" publicity stunt, but rather a genuine and insightful story about the making of the X-Files feature film. It is made all the more enjoyable and accessible by Ms Duncan's excellent writing style. Highly recommended.

This book was well worth the $30.00 I spent on it, as there was an exclusive preview of the X-Files Game with it!!! The photos in the book are great, as is the information provided. I have never read an issue of Cinefex, but I can tell the Editor is an excellent writer.

The X-Files has not been more exciting! I LOVE this book so much! It is a must have for any X-Phile (like myself) and any film buff. It tells how they...well, you'll just have to figure that out by yourself. Go pick up this book and see the film. It is AWESOME! (repeat) AWESOME! (repeat again) AWESOME! (repeat one more time) AWESOME!!!!!!

I'm a big fan of Cinefex, and its editor does another solid job here. While the book designers made the text a bit hard to read in places (particularly the black-on-black paragraph on p. 94), it gives an excellent day-by-day breakdown of the movie and makes you feel like you were really there, without the tedium. I would have liked more photos from the model unit, but I suspect the book deadline made this impossible.

It contains great pictures and sometimes exhaustive details about the making of this feature film. From the concept of the movie to post production work, you get an inside look at all of the planning and hard work involved in getting this film into theaters. If you are interested in the steps involved in movie-making and the X-files in general then this book is for you. It gave me a better appreciation for the movie.

I didn't know if I would like it when I first bought it, but as soon as I started reading I fell in love with it. I was great, it tells you all the details about the movie, how each scene was shot and the special effects. It also concentrates on every character, not just on Mulder and Scully. I think it is great. If you are a true X Files fan, you have to have it.

The book was good for what it was. It goes into great depth of how hard it is to make a movie. I thought the book got boring at times. I would recommend this book to the true x-files fan or just anyone who wants to see how a movie is made.

This book was written for everyone....from newbies to real X-files addicts. It takes you to the whole process. A definitive must-read. You'll enjoy it!
