love the x files but this one's a but more over the top than usual
Libro sobre la película de Expedientes X (X Files), recomendado para amantes de la serie, y si se quiere pasar un buen rato con un libro muy liviano y entretenido.Si fuera una película, sería de esas que no dejan mucho cuando se terminan de ver pero que en el transcurso divierten, y se ve que es justamente lo que buscaron los escritores cuando pensaron el libro.
Pretty gripping story. I enjoyed it. I also never saw the movie though.
Very good book. Just like the movie.
I read this on the plane to New Zealand and had it done by the time we landed. It's very dry; word for word to the movie script, which is good, because I don't like it when there are discrepancies, and which makes it an easy read when you've seen the film a few times. But it was also disappointing because there was no attempt to explore anything further than what would have been visible onscreen. I mean, the hallway scene? Where were the feels? So much opportunity for feels. There were MORE feel...
Ok I admit it I really enjoyed this book - yes I was an x-files fan when the series was on (though I did lose it a bit when the changed the main characters) and I read (and still have) all the novels but I never got round to reading this one.I remember seeing the film at the cinema and thinking though it was good fun it didn't really push the boundaries or provide the big reveals it was being promoted as - yes I was naive but I guess so were we all.Anyway move on some years - and after countless...
Ta książka to opisanie filmu językiem sześciolatka. Straszne
Μυθιστόρημα που βασίζεται στην πασίγνωστη ομότιτλη ταινία του 1998 και το σενάριο του Κρις Κάρτερ. Ένα μακάβριο μυστικό που κρυβόταν για χιλιάδες χρόνια κάτω από τα εδάφη του Τέξας, ξαφνικά αφυπνίστηκε και μια μυστηριώδης ομάδα κάνει την εμφάνισή της για να αναλάβει την υπόθεση. Η ανθρωπότητα κινδυνεύει από έναν εξωγήινο ιό, άκρως επικίνδυνο... Το γνωστό δίδυμο του FBI, οι πράκτορες Μόλντερ και Σκάλι, εμπλέκονται απρόσμενα στην υπόθεση. Από κει και πέρα βλέπουμε συνωμοσίες και κυνηγητό με τον χρ...
The book is pretty much word for word the same as the film. It doesn’t really add any extra insights but it also doesn’t change things around. It’s a quick read. If you like the X-Files you’ll like this enough to read at least once (although if your like me you probably know all the weird already anyway!!)
Cumpre bem o papel de adaptação de um filme.
"Beneath the surface of North Texas, something has been sleeping for more than thirty-five thousand years, since the last ice age until the present, when a group of young boys stumble upon something unspeakable deep inside a cavern. Their discovery draws the attention of the mysterious group known only as the syndicate--but will the syndicate save humanity, or bring on a viral Armageddon? In nearby Dallas, FBI special agents Fox Mulder And Dana Scully save hundreds of lives from a terrorist atta...
The thing I normally enjoy about movie novelizations, is that you get to delve deeper into the inner dialogue of characters. Their thoughts and feelings reveal more of the story than you see on screen in the movie. Normally… Sadly, this book added nothing that wasn’t already in the movie’s dialog. It read like an abbreviated version of the movie even. Fun to read once, but the movie holds the more detailed version of the story.
Él mejor libro basado en una película, si eres fan de X files no puedes dejar de leerlo.
No quiero hacer esto sin ti. No sé si podré. Y si abandono ahora, ellos ganan.no puedo creer que me ponga emotiva por una historia de investigación alienígena. pero fox mulder ganó mi corazón por su amor por dana scully, y viceversa. aunque mulder sea el fanático obsesionado por lo extraterrestre, lo fuera de este mundo, nada de eso se compara con, y parafraseo: Lo que considera más preciado. La única cosa del mundo sin la que no puede vivir. en uno de los descubrimientos más significativos has...
I looked for where in the series cannon this book would be placed, huge thanks to a fellow GoodReads reader person for clarifying it is technically, a novelisation of the 1998 X-Files movie. Hence the Elizabeth Hand based on the Chris Carter label. It's all coming together!I am quite old so it did take me a while to work out what was going on, also the narrator was very chaotic and quite loud, and as he does the majority of the X-Files audiobooks, I am unsure whether this was reserved just for t...
— Bomba aceea din Dallas a fost lăsată să explodeze, ca să se ascundă nişte cadavre infestate cu un virus. Un virus pe care l-ai detectat tu însăţi, Scully.— În autocisterne se transportă benzină, se transportă petrol, dar nu viruşi.Mulder privi cu încăpăţânare în întuneric.— Ei bine, s-ar putea ca de data asta să fie altfel.— Ce vrei să spui?Pentru prima oară, Scully se uită direct la el, cu chipul întunecat de furie şi de o suspiciune crescândă.— Ce nu mi-ai spus?— Acest virus… spuse el, întor...
E foarte slab ca roman, dar nici nu cred autoarea și-a propus să fie unul, mai ales că a fost adaptat după scenariul filmului, ci doar o modalitate de a câștiga bani de pe urma fanilor serialului Dosarele X. Și a reușit. Pe mine sigur m-a făcut nostalgică. ,,Dacă nu reușim să anticipăm neprevăzutul sau să ne așteptăm la lucruri neașteptate, într-un univers al posibilităților neprevăzute, ne trezim la cheremul oricărei persoanei sau al oricărui lucru ce nu poate fi programata, categorisit sau dis...
"Listened to audiobook*I don't know why it's called Fight the Future. It's basically word for word the X Files movie from 1998. I still enjoyed it, I'm a huge X Files fan.. but.. 🤷.
it's a pretty good retelling of the movie, though i wish there was some more insight (a lot of other novelizations i've read have more introspective details about the main and even the side characters; the alien series novelizations are a good example of this) or will add things from the script that were ultimately deleted from the final movie.
So candidly, I read this book back in 1998 when I was an X-Files obsessed 12-year-old girl. I read it so many times I think the cover broke. I haven't re-read it since, but I will always and forever be an X-Files nerd. I think the book captured the film perfectly, and I made sure to read the book before seeing the movie. This book will always hold a special memory in my heart.
