I'll first start with a quick reply to this comment:

Considering the amount of money that was obviously invested in this project wouldn't you think that they could have bothered to come up with a decent script? Think again!
There are more plot holes in this outing than I care to number but here's a couple:
1. Why did the Arctic facility implode when Scully got injected with the serum? No reason that I can tell other than they had to draw this hokum to a close somehow.
And 2. How did the pair get out of the Arctic alive? Scully had wet socks on so they hardly walked it - and where did her trousers come from anyway?! Moreover, nobody knew they were there so what chance of being found before they froze to death?

With regards to point 1, the facility imploded because the UFO had started it's 'anti-gravity' drive. Hence the ship taking off a few minutes later. With regards to point 2, the FBI most likely have international cellular communications. Not sure how many mobile transmitters there are in the arctic, and although I see your point, it's not a big enough hole to worry about. Such a crater or land implosion would have notified a local meteorological site on their seismic detectors. I'm pretty sure someone would check it out pretty quickly on a satellite feed.
Now onto my views, I thought it was a very good film as far as X-Files is concerned. It takes a while to get into it, but hits the whole theme of 'V' with the secret infiltration and colonisation of the planet earth. I love this idea, even if it is removed as it could be happening right now and we would never know it! The special effects are pretty good for the time this was created, there are a few issues in plot such as, when Mulder escapes from the UFO out of a hatch, an alien almost catches him but gets hit by a blast of 'steam'. Another blast of what appears to be 'steam' follows soon after, however during the few minutes they were in the pipe they were lucky enough to avoid such an event.
Overall this is an enjoyable film for those who love to think that this world has more than meets the eye. This is television from a 'free' era of society which does not contain any particularly biased political influence or propaganda. 7 / 10 for it's decent acting, decent budget and effects. However this film could have done with being a bit more complex. The average x-files viewer would feel there is nothing new to learn from this, the series had put the same idea into peoples heads some time ago.
