VHS Movie Reviews of The X-Files - Wave 1, Triple Pack [VHS]

Movie Review: Box-Set 1: Six Great Episodes from Season 1
Summary: 5 Stars

In the fall of 1993, a TV show called "The X-Files" hit the airwaves. It didn't exactly debut with a splash. It's creator, Chris Carter, was new to the business; it's female lead, Gillian Anderson, was an unknown at the time; the only person half-recognizable in the show was the male lead, David Duchovny.

A show about aliens and government conspiracies? Yeah, that'll be a big hit . . . And it was!

The first wave of videos in this box set are some of the best of Season 1. The first video contains "Pilot/Deep Throat", the first two episodes of the series. The second video contains "Conduit/Ice". And the third video in the set contains "Fallen Angel/Eve".

Any new fan of the show who is looking for a little background into the show should give this set a viewing. While buying the DVD sets would be the better deal (you get all the episodes from every season in the sets), for those that don't have DVD players videos are the only option.

It is interesting to note how far the series has come. It is striking in the way it has changed over the years in look, feel and sound. Anyone who doesn't know what Mulder and Scully looked like in those first few episodes will receive a pleasant surprise. Back in the first season, it was not known whether the series would survive past its rookie year, so Chris Carter and his writers penned nothing but stand-alones for the first part. While some of the Season 1 episodes are considered mythology, as they do have mythology-like elements in them, for the most part Season 1 is a collage of "Monster of the Week" episodes. The chilling episode "Ice" is an example of this.

For those who don't have DVD players and would like to see how the series began, this first wave of videos is highly recommended. The Truth is Out There - you just need to go out and buy it.

Movie Review: i rarely give five stars.
Summary: 5 Stars

i rarly give 5 stars to anything but this one gets it. ICE,deep throat, and pilot are enough to get the boxed set alone. all the other episodes are great to. fallen angel is the only one thats not excellent but even that one is still good. So if you have never seen the show this selection will get you hooked. it did with me.

If you a just beginning to watch the show this season then you cant really grasp the greatness of the show because david duchouvny(sorry bout the spelling) is taking time off or he quit or something. Hopefully he will be back and it will just be mulder and scully, no disrespect toward robert patrick(agent dogget)

Movie Review: Please put under the "Quotes" section
Summary: 5 Stars

(Mulder kisses Scully at the stroke of midnight, January 1, 2000)

Mulder: The world didn't come to an end. Scully: No, no, it didn't. Mulder: Happy new year, Scully. Scully: Happy new year, Mulder.

Movie Review: A must have for the hard core X-Philer to the casual viewer.
Summary: 5 Stars

This set of videos is wonderful for anyone. Someone who has never seen The X-Files would enjoy it. If you are an X-Files fan, then I recommend this to you. These six episodes are the introduction to Mulder and Scully. It introduces their quest. It shows their immediate chemistry together. Please buy this.

Movie Review: ICE and PILOT are easily the best eps
Summary: 5 Stars

I really enjoy all my X-Files box sets, but especially volume one. First off, PILOT is historic, and cuts through the everyday, run of the mill info on UFOs to get to new aspects of this age-old mystery. ICE is one of my favorites (and I'm a die-hard X-phile) because it has the perfect situation, the agents and scientists are trapped in the Arctic with no way home, and one of them is under the control of an alien worm that creates psychotic tendencies. Also the stand-off between M&S was climatic.

Summary of The X-Files - Wave 1, Triple Pack [VHS]

Volume 1: "Pilot/Deep Throat," "Fallen Angel/Eve," and "Conduit/Ice."
This boxed set boasts six of the best episodes from the first season of the "uncanny" X-Files, which makes it an essential part of any X-Files fan collection or a good introduction to the series. The first tape contains the show that started it all: the pilot episode and "Deep Throat," where Agent Mulder uncovers an Area 51-esque military outpost and is contacted by the first of many informants. The second tape contains "Conduit" and "Ice." In "Conduit," a young girl mysteriously disappears from a camping trip. Agent Mulder suspects alien abduction, while Agent Scully believes she ran away with the local biker gang. Evidence of otherworldly goings-on pile up while the girl's younger brother stares into the static of the television set, writing down what seems to be random numeric code. In "Ice" (an episode on actors Gillian Anderson, David Duchovney, and show creator Chris Carter's best episodes lists), production design and special effects reign. A team of scientists in the Arctic Circle are found dead. Mulder and Scully investigate, discovering a wormlike parasite that buries into its victims causing psychotic behavior. The third tape includes the episodes "Fallen Angel" and "Eve." "Fallen Angel" is the series first introduction to Max Fenig, a conspiracy-theory follower, Agent Mulder fan, and perhaps alien abductee. Something crashes in the Wisconsin woods. The military claims it to be a downed fighter jet, but Mulder suspects more. What he discovers is a cover up on a massive scale. In "Eve," two men are murdered in the same grisly way on different coasts at the same time. The one thing in common? Their daughters look exactly alike. When the girls are kidnapped, Mulder and Scully discover something more sinister at the hands of government scientific experimentation. All tapes are preceded with interviews with Chris Carter, who gives some production insight into the episodes that follow. --Shannon Gee
