The Thing (2011)
Antarctica: an extraordinary continent of awesome beauty. It is also home to an isolated outpost where a discovery full of scientific possibility becomes a mission of survival when an alien is unearthed by a crew of international scientists. The shape-shifting creature, accidentally unleashed at this marooned colony, has the ability to turn itself into a perfect replica of any living being. It can look just like you or me, but inside, it remains inhuman. In the thriller The Thing, paranoia spreads like an epidemic among a group of researchers as they’re infected, one by one, by a mystery from another planet.

Everyone knows that remaking classic or genre defining films is going to be a let down for many people. The original was amazing because of the use of suspense and claustrophobia as much as FX. I'm a big fan of the original and bearing in mind it's 30 years old the FX are superb and the lack of CGI gives an almost more honest believable feel. That said, if you took this film on its own merits its by no means a turkey. It's a shame many of the scenes from the original are repeated because it didn't really have to be a remake and would have fared much better as a genuine prequel.

Just perfect right now (freezing time in europe) ;)

It's a 1:1 copy/remake of the original (1982), but without Kurt Russell and the CGI were better back then.

Quite horrifying, enjoyed it very much.

Decent attempt, better than expected but it still doesn't hold up the original unfortunately.

There are 2 main issues with this Movie; One it´s a prequel to one of the best horror movie of all times, Two excessive CGI that made the monster in "The Thing" from 1982 more real... Has a Movie it´s good, not even close to the "original" but still good. Obviously, people will always want more from movies related to masterpieces...

I thought it was really good, a deserving prequel to the 1982 john carpenter movie.

This movie doesnt deserve to be named the thing. Just a bunch of FX without a real story and no sense. It just plain sucks.
