Dramatic and/or depressing can make for a good story, but I, too, like that here Mulder, Scully, and M&S together are still basically the same, navigating through this different world, still doing what they can to fight. It might be harder to sustain this dynamic without veering into dramatic or depressing (or both) for a longer story, although I'm sure it's possible (and I would definitely read a longer version of this if it existed).
I like seeing them working together too. That's one of the things I liked so much about "Machines of Freedom," too. Their task is difficult, perhaps even impossible, but they remain undaunted. Our heroes, fighting the forces of evil together. This is what was missing for me in the 2008 film.
