Dear Hollywood, PLEASE shut yourself down, after numerous remakes over the years there is literally nothing worth watching and mentioning (I dont count "**** of the dead" family of films), you've tried with game scripts, again nothing worth watching (Tomb Raider,Resident Evil,Mortal Kombat,Prince of Persia,Hitman,Max Pain...)only Silent Hill is half decent, you have tried with numerous books (a lot of those film - worthless, remember HP Lovecraft,Stephen King&others),now this?Please GIVE UP!
@rigenzea They call it the Thing because that implies it's so devilish it's not even worthy of being called a creature. Also, in the first movie they didn't think of anything to call it.
@rigenzea "The Thing From Another World" from 1951. Never saw it. The one I'm talking about though is the 1982 remake by John Carpenter, simply called "The Thing". This (2011) is a prequel to that movie.
Just saw it. Pleasantly surprised. The female lead is great - and I was sceptic - and they focused a lot on paranoia like the 82 version, and the characters are believable and avoid the worst clichés. Oh and it's extremely gory. Like something straight out of a nightmare. They definitely didn't water it down to reach a broader audience.
really enjoyed this movie,love how it ties in with the original,one big movie,pity they are remaking the original as well (john carpenters one) big mistake if you ask me :
@thelizardkinguk *SPOILER* I don't get the end,can anyone explain?Why did he shoot on the dog,how did he survived and why was the woman shooting on the guy at the end,although you couldn't clearly see in the fire (?) that he was an Alien?Just because he had his ring on the other side?
@LiangHuBBB the ending in this movie is the begging of john carpenters movie,how did he survive?hes just a beast,she burned him because he was an alien,prove the alien couldnt copy his ring so it just copied him then wear it but on the other ear
Mr. carpenters version is very good but left a lot of unanswered questions...where was the alien going when it crashed here...was the alien the actual pilot or a passenger...or a fugative .. after all it was found outside the space ship...why did it leave its planet to begin with...and since it can morph into a human it knows how to think and speak the language...why not try to comunicate with the humans and ask for assistance...but I doubt that these questions will be answered on the prequal
Just to clarify john carpenter's "THE THING" is not the original, that was a remake of the 1950's sci-fi horror classic "the thing from another world"
-sigh- so many ppl bitching about the films cgi. blah blah blah stop crying if u got a problem about it then make a i hate the thing prequal and bitch there. and ppl say this is the remake. ethier ur damn stupid or aint a fan of the thing. its a prequal. the noriegan crew are all played by noriegan actors. i dont give a shit about the cgi i want to know wat thing looked and did before macready fount it. yall bitch like the ppl who bitched about the film when e.t came out and raped this film
THANK GOD! IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOREVER, THIS MOVIE BETTER NOT BE SHIT, AND NO MATTER WHAT MACREADY SHOULDVE BEEN IN HERE -_- IVE BEEN WAITING A WHILE LIKE OTHERS, BUT I SAW THIS WHEN I WAS 4! (IM 15 NOW)
hey, i've got a brilliant idea! let's take a classic that's been immortalized as having the best non-cgi special effects in film history... AND TURN IT INTO A GENERIC CGI FUCKFEST! What could possibly go wrong?!
This looks like a good remake of the original, but the original is always the best! and wtf happened to a kurt russel look alike man, or is this women just a heshe? really she has a grufty voice and a beard SHE'S THE THING!!!!!!!! :O
@aardvark763 It's a REMAKING of John Carpenter's brilliant re-imagining of the original. Exchanging this chick for the Kurt Russell character is flat out ridiculous.
@aardvark763 dude this movie was wicked i didn't like the over use of C.G.I but it's like one big complete story from the original story the john carpenters remake, i just story the story amazing it leave still talk about it after you left the theater.
Aren't they supose to be Norwegians? I don't see "The Thing" in while, but i am pretty sure the base where the alien was found not to be american.
What is it with people from the USA and their media? Everything must be about them?
It is really pathetic, i understand the idea of self-promotion and the economics behind it, but still, they transform art into some garbage to pass time.
@Duansf1988 the movie was made by John Carpenter. in the movie, the norwigians found the thing first and did not survive, then the main characters(americans) were left to deal with it. .
@BurningAppleTree Yes, but this is not a sequel nor it is a remake of the Carpenter movie, it is a PREquel, that is, the events in the movie happened before "The Thing".
It's no a remake guys, its supposed to be the part where the scientists found the alien before the first movie. the beginning scene of the thing (1982) has them survivors trying to shoot it which would be probably the end of this one.
@allisterw9 did you read what i said ??? maybe your the one that is retarded... i didnt notice the number 2 in the title of the vid in my first comment ..and all i said in the second is there is no way in hell will it come close to be scaryer then the first ...and if youve actually watches 80s horror you might actually understand what im saying... and yes its a prequel dosent that mean it should be better then the first??? no disrespect just dont know what ur getting angry at??
@bnmeg11 Im sure this movie will just be full of jump scares and new CGI. The great thing about the "original remake" is that it was terrifying and the effects were so ahead of its time. But this movie just wont compare at all.
