I didn't see it. Instead, I saw The Dark Knight again and I have a strong feeling that I'm not the only one who did that. The X-Files fan base and its target demographic are probably more interested in The Dark Knight...especially considering those abysmal trailers! Come on! I'm sure the entire movie does NOT take place on that large stretch of ice...but the movie is advertised like it's about some guy who knows where to set up a place to go ice fishing. I think they really shot themselves in the foot. Oh well...it looked low budget, so i'm sure it's not that big of a deal in the long run if it fails at the box office.</blockquote> What??? You went to see a movie you already saw based on a feeling? What kind of bs is that... That's like my granddad, he also prefers movies he's already seen. "It looked low budget".. How can you even know? Not to say - how can you even comment on this article based on assumptions?
