now that i have finished watching this movie.. am i the only one who noticed that so often the timing seemed annoying and slow? Moments like when she opens the door for the man to burn the thing.. moments like in this end when the final scenes are cut up with credits that are just a bit too long and segments that are a bit too short? The whole movie was like this.. drawn out moments and odd cuts.. Bad pacing of the plot.. it ruined the film for me.
@19713969 i think hes that 1 guy that ran away with sander when splitface revealed itself. hes probably desperate that no help is coming bcos the comms r all cut out n that hes gonna be killed by a thing eventually.
@amazo88 actually there was a deleted scene when he was in the room on the limbs from the split face thing was there, he takes a look at it and slowly take a razor out of his pocket, slits his wrists, sat on the chair and slit his throat so basically he didn't want to be assimulated
@19713969 The guy who slit his throat ran from the weird two faced thing earlier. When MacReady and the Doctor go to the destroyed base (this movies base) they see the guy who slit his throat, the two faced monster, the ice block, and the bloody ax stuck on the wall. Watch the original on netflix and you'll see.
I hate 'leave it to your imagination' endings. I payed to know what the hell happened to the girl, not a 'we didn't want to show th main character dying, so we didn't, you do the rest' ending.
That's your job as a filmmaker, to make the fucking film.
@sexuallobster134679 Actually, technically the John Carpenter film is the original, as it is the only one to actually follow the plot of the book it was based upon. The 1950's film only used a few concepts from the book.
@sexuallobster134679 The issue they have is making the prequel so it actually makes sense with the original. That's why they had to have one guy commit suicide and two of them alive to fly the helicopter after the dog at the end. The fact that a girl was present is awkward because they found no trace of a girl in the original.
@sexuallobster134679 Also, although the only follow up to the 1982 film was the game, Carpenter has considered doing a series to follow up from the film. If that series was to be made it could cover the fates of MacCready, Childs, and Lloyd. In fact MacCready and Childs were actually going to be in the series.
If they ever made The Thing 3, they should make a scene where the thing in human form and a woman are having sex, then she gets fused in a terrifying and horribLe way O_0... that would be interesting
I found a link to a writer's short prose related to The Thing. He won an award for it to. In his short prose aptly titled "The Things," it was written from the Thing's perspective. The Thing was a scientist of sorts that bonded with other creatures as a form of communication, study, and bonding. In fact it called its behavior "communion." The hilarious part was the Thing found humans to be simple minded xenophobes that define their existence through pain and "aloneness."
It's a pity this prequel was also a box office failure. A sequel to the 1982 story will never get financed now despite the open endedness of Carpenter's version allowing for a continuation.
out of the whole movie the ending here at least felt like a good segway to john carpenters the thing but its a shame the rest before wasnt like it at all.
At the very least they remembered to use the right type of helicopter from the original film even though I'm unsure why Norwegians would have an American made helicopter.
the prequel made the same mistake most people did and assumed that in the original the guy that throws the grenade is the same guy who runs away from it and eventually gets shot by garry. but the guy who gets out the passenger side and throws the grenade has fur on his coat and no stripes on his hat. the guy who runs has broad stripes on his hat and no fur on his coat. meaning that guy was the pilot, but i think this movie thought it was lars who ends up gettin shot.
@343xbv Yeah, I'm not criticizing, but that's such a little and unnoticeable detail, you have a good eye for spotting that, but seriously, does it matter? Like it's not that important.
@trollininyourlawn yea it was a petty detail in the original, i just think it led to a somewhat larger mistake in the prequel. but to be fair the real mistake was in the original, they just didn't expect people to notice all the little things. that being said, i wouldn't obsess over the details if i didn't think they were both great movies.
@LangdonOrr but if she reached the russian,did she alerted them of the spaceship and what happened or did she keep quiet so there's no chance of anymore assimilation?
@LangdonOrr In the original script, it was implied that Kate would freeze to death. In the final cut, it wasn't made so clear, but it's safe to say she did. The Russian outpost was no closer than Outpost 31, which already took a helicopter ride to travel to.
@rippedlampshade well the thing (1980 or what ever version ) they find a helicopter crash and a dog ( that dog ) witch carried the Thing on it so they take the dog in and then shit happens
@rippedlampshade well i made a little mistake on some of the info heres a link thats legit to Part 1 of the 1982 /watch?v=25_MNd-RDa8 its on youtube so yea
@LangdonOrr shes most likely dead as she wouldn't have risked exposing herself to others knowing she could be infected. its like the orginals ending, they died instead of escaping knowing they could be infected
@LangdonOrr Or she was already the thing as when she fell into the spaceship she was knocked out and we only seen her regain consiousness....i dont think thats the right spelling but you get what i mean.
@fooksake69 if she was a thing,she wouldnt kill sander or carter. n the movie wouldve been finished bcos all the last 3 survivors (except lars) have bcome a thing.
@Johnlindsey289 - Yeah me too. Well I saw it twice in cinema then bought DVD of 1982 film. It was made so well this prequel, it all fits like a glove. Great actors and a babe in the cast. Like both of 'em.
@Johnlindsey289 I agree, great movie! Two things I wonder about though. The very first scene where the tracked vehicle falls deep into the ice crevice, I thought those 3 men were done for. The very end, if no radio signals could get out, how did the helicopter just happen to show up? What happened to Kate?
@replyandyousuckballs I do know what I'm saying.everything I know about the thing is in the comments. Every time I look it up on google, I find some crap website that has been shut down by some agentcy. With all of the arguments that you've had on this video, I have not been able to find anything out. So, just stop beig a jerk to everyone and I can find out what I want to know. Have we reached an agreement?
damn this sucks so much for these 1 character! he had a story as well to share. and the survival skills to continue BUT Kurt Russel said HELL NO an blew him up in the old version! nooo! if only they redid the 1st one an just DONT do a BAD remake!
@replyandyousuckballs LISTEN!! I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO FIND OUT WHAT THE THING IS AND WHERE IT'S FROM!! THE ONLY WAY THAT I CAN FIND THAT OUT IS IN THE COMMENTS!!! YOUR CONSTANTLY SPAMMING AND TROLLING EVERYONE!!! THAT'S TAKING UP ALL THE THIME I CAN FIND OUT ABOUT THE THING!!! MY ADVISE IS THAT YOU JUST SHUT UP!!
@DrJonathanMM Wait, wait - let me get this right because I cannot even believe my fucking eyes: you; are telling me; that you think the only way to find out "what the thing is and where it's from" is in the youtube comments? Are you actually serious? Do you have any idea at all what it is you're saying?
Let me give YOU some advice: what the Thing is and where it's from are the last issues on Earth you should be losing sleep over about now.
where was the dog-thing the whole time during the movie? The Bug Iceblock-Thing escaped in the beginning and killed/assimilated the dog, but you don't see the dog until the last scene so was it hidden in a room? Another theory is that the Splitface take off a part of his body to be turn into a perfectly imitated dog to be safe after being killed just like he did to sander
Why did the American camp in the 82 version just gladly welcome the dog into their camp? If I saw people shooting at a dog I probably wouldn't just go and pet it. I'd be like wtf. Good film though. Like the burnt two-face and frozen slit throat.
.54 what happened here? 1.08 - 1.42 hello?! (specific names included) 1.52 Lars? dont shoot its me! 1.56 show me your teeth!! 1.58 its ok its me!!! Lars what the hell is going on 2.14 that is no ordinary dog 2.16 get the chopper in the air!!! 2.26 cmon go go go!!. These are rough translations, hoep the help
What pissed me off was the whole alien ship it arrived in. The Norgs unearthed it through charges in the '82 version. In this version, it's unearthed by the damn ship starting up! This ending isn't bad but the throw in of the Russian camp (nowhere mentioned by a US group who'd been stationed there just as long as the Norgs) where the girl goes to was kinda...weird. The loose ends in this movie that link it to the original, like the suicide, were thrown in too quick. However I did enjoy this one.
@mguy091 there was a russian camp that was actually mentioned in the original novel "who goes there?" along with a couple others, including an Australian one (correct me if I'm wrong). it's a direct reference to the book.
@RednessAlpha I did not know that! I never read the book. So do you think if they decide to make a sequel they could use the premise the video game was based off of or even have the Russian camp going to rescue the US Outpost camp?
really glad they ended it like this, would have been awesome if they showed the dog running with outpost 31 in the far distance, i prob would have yelled in the theaters oh shit!!! the Americans are in for someTHING
To think, when they found the americans, the one thing that got in their way of killing the thing once and for all was the language barrier.
Had the Americans known how to speak Norwegian, they would have found out about the dog... but then again the Norwegian guy in the chopper was frantic and gunning when he landed...so that didn't help either. So close...
Because it's not faithful to the 82 film, that is why. I just noticed now that neither guys had the fur hooded parka. So again it doesn't match up. In the 82 film, the shooter in the beginning has a fur hooded parka, yet in this one, neither do.
The kerosene cans are missing from splitface.
Collins neck wound doesn't even look close to the one seen in the 82 film and the blood trail is missing. So many problems, it gets a 0 .
@snake2006 They also made the Thing some kind of crazy idiot who just jumps up and screams at random, assimilating everyone in full view, bold as hell and right in the middle of everything - that makes NO SENSE! It's supposed to be intelligent? It was a silent assassin, now it's some screaming moron, running down a hallway, waving tentacles? Fuck off. Yeah, it has modern eye-candy effects, but the actual movie is some of the purest superficial garbage ever. Meaningless and a wasted opportunity.
Exactly, along with the very serious continuity errors made this movie bad. I don't even consider it a prequel. As far as I am concerned the story of the Nowregian camp has never been told nor was ever meant to be told.
@snake2006 Fuck me, I could not agree with you more. Bill Lancaster's script was Godly and a deliberate series of strategic moves on both sides, with Thing winning through it's higher intelligence and, literally inhuman, lack of compassion, even for parts of itself, in favor of the long game - and humanity countering only from sheer desperation. From that POV, the Norwegian camp is an irrelevance but, if telling the story, it should have been told with similar sophistication and maturity - crap!
Oh and plus it's space ship worked the whole time, which begs the question WHY THE FUCK DID IT GET OUT???.
In the 82 film, you see the ship was having trouble in the beginning, yet in this movie it works just fine. What fucking shit is that? Seriously.
That plus they never show Collins death, there is no physical way he could cut his wrists then cut his throat, and it can't work the other way because you would be gasping for air and bleeding.
@snake2006 Well exactly and this is the problem - in Thing '82, those issues are not material to the immediate storyline, but you go back and they become very difficult questions to answer. I don't have a problem necessarily in the attempt to answer, but if you do take that on, then answer those questions sensibly or just leave it alone -otherwise, your obviously just taking an easy option to rake over backstory, only because the checkmate of Thing '82 was just too damn good for you. WEAK!
@replyandyousuckballs dude its been a 100 thousand years till this alien was unearthed its probably rusty and some body parts cant make a working brain system so thats why it assimilates people right in front of people also in the 82 film it learns it has be sneaky from what it did to the norwegian camp.
@nicothemarine Pff. Come on - nice try, but that doesn't scan either. If it can survive 100,000 years, why the Hell would it be "rusty" with body parts that "can't make a working brain system"? Why would everything else be in Tip-Top Tentacle condition, except the "body parts" to make a working brain? These are individual cells working as a collective - the brain is fake - so the same deep frozen cells could make working tooth but not a brain and not re-organise to cover any defect? Garbage!!
@replyandyousuckballs i mean like the norris head 82 blew its cover because it didnt think right and it probably never replicated humans before and probably thought the humans were going to be easy to kill like the other alien species it probably killed
@nicothemarine No: Norris-Thing broke cover because it got a terrific electric shock - and the reason it got that shock was because it replicated Norris *perfectly* - and that included replicating Norris' heart problem, which was hinted at a couple of scenes before Norris eventually passed out and which Thing could not have anticipated - with little experience of humans, it wouldn't know Norris' heart was not the best kind to copy. Sorry, what you said is garbage - just like Thing '11. GARBAGE!
@nicothemarine Norris-Head-Thing probably broke cover as it was in as much panic and reacting as instinctively as YOU would be if you were half burnt alive - it just wanted to get out of that room and the opportunity outweighed the risk. I don't think there was ANY MORE reason to it than that.
"It probably thought that humans were blah, blah, blah " - Oh, BALONEY! That kind of double-reasoning is not present in Thing '82. It's direct, almost basic in that directness. Thing '11 is pure GARBAGE!!
@replyandyousuckballs Of course the thing was an idiot in this prequel. It had no experience with humans before. It was still learning how to efficiently devour the humans to survive. Its biggest obstacle was the fact that the humans could defend themselves. Each of its forms eventually got its ass kicked. The lone surviving thing.. was the dog thing that was hiding all along. Its own spare was its saving grace!
The erratic behaviour you're seeing is called inexperience.
@TheRocketVoltage GARBAGE! The reason the Thing is an idiot in this movies is because the film-makers are idiots. You have just swallowed their post-rationalized excuses and are pewking it up on their behalf. Face it: it does not make any rational sense, AT ALL, for a creature that depends on fooling another species to inappropriately reveal itself - because its primary purpose is not "devouring" it's propagation by ASSIMILATION. It's more efficient to do that when *no-one knows you're there*!
@replyandyousuckballs Um, I didn't even know they made that reasoning. I deducted that by myself because you, know, I remembered that this is a PREQUEL.
The thing does also have an appetite, as displayed by the Juliette Thing. Of course, it's main goal is to survive by assimilation, but the creature also doesn't function on perpetual energy. I still go by the inexperience theory for the simple fact that it never dealt with humans before. We all start bad at first. :)
@TheRocketVoltage Bah! That only demonstrates the excellence of their marketing to their preferred audience of people degenerated to the point they are happy to accept poor storytelling and not ask too many questions if it comes with flashy graphics! They would be gratified.
No-one suggested it does not also have to feed on bio-mass? Look, the point stands: the "inexperienced with humans" argument is pathetic - as it must have experienced the process with something else? Face it: it's GARBAGE!
@luckyrabbitfoot29 Well, this is perfect! I was just this minute trying to figure out a way to describe a typical, hollow-eyed fool to someone and here you have made yourself a perfect example!....Can I quote you?
@replyandyousuckballs Preferred audience? Did it not occur to you that The Thing is a cult classic? The only audience they have any business caring about are we the fans who enjoyed Carpenter's! You talk as if the '82 Thing was a HUGE box office hit!
The creature feeing on biomass makes no sense. Yes, it eats and assimilates at a cellular level, but with the way it functions, biomass seems useless. I'd actually find it quite shitty if that idea was added. THAT'S garbage.
@TheRocketVoltage What? You've selected two words from a sentence (that was self-evidently in reference to Thing '82) and yammer nonsensically - that is why your whole first paragraph idiotic.
You state, by way of contradiction, that, "feeing [sic] on biomass makes no sense", and yet you immediately agree that the Thing "eats and assimilates on a cellular level" while also stating that "biomass seems useless"? On the whole, you seem drunk - which explains your hopeless defense of GARBAGE.
@replyandyousuckballs Of course the thing was an idiot in this prequel. It had no experience with humans before. It was still learning how to efficiently devour the humans to survive. Its biggest obstacle was the fact that the humans could defend themselves. Each of its forms eventually got its ass kicked. The lone surviving thing.. was the dog thing that was hiding all along. Its own spare was its saving grace!
The erratic behaviour you're seeing is called inexperience.
@TheRocketVoltage I hate that stupid excuse for having a dumbass monster. Why would the Thing be inexperienced with killing humans, or any other life form? It is it's nature to absorb and replicate a life form's body and mind. It crashed on earth in a 100,000 year old alien craft. They had to be smarter than humans. Shit, we can barely get to the moon. Those aliens couldn't stop it, but humans are too much for the Thing...bullshit. Bad excuse for a bad premake.
@LaccaTony They made it look like the Thing was on a mission and its fucked up ship landed on earth. When the Thing absorbs a life form, sounds like its a mean for survival. I'm sure the Thing's intentions were not to stay on earth.
@cfh87cfp I'm sure once humans figure out modern warfare(guns) dont work, another way to kill something, simply burn it. So it had to stay hidden, to survive. It wasnt bad, just bad plot, not enough animatronics makeup, and shitty score. I liked it, just not as much as John's movie.
@cfh87cfp What the hell are you babbling about? Thing was on a mission...What? Nothing in your reply explains why stupid people think that the Thing should not know how to deal with humans. In fact you said that it thought that it should have stayed hidden. Thus reinforcing my point that the Thing should not have been running around attacking people like any other B movie monster. Bad premake is bad.
@LaccaTony I was actually agreeing with you... But in MY opinion, this "premake" was sure as shit far better than most American horror movies these days. For being as bad as it was, WITHOUT ANALYZING John Carpenters movie SOOOO HARD, it really is not that bad. I mention what I thought was bad, yes to reinforce your opinion... I agree, elements were bad, but could have been way worse, and you know it... Like I said I did not like it near as much as John Carpenters movie...
@cfh87cfp And I sure as shit loved this movie more so than any Paranormal Activity movie... So whats the deal? The mission thing was just an idea, not an actual fact of the movie plot or Thing in general...
@replyandyousuckballs Of course the thing was an idiot in this prequel. It had no experience with humans before. It was still learning how to efficiently devour the humans to survive.

Um, yeah they do. That is the whole POINT OF A PREQUEL.
If your going to set things up that will be found by the next guys then you better have everything right. There is no fucking excuse, The Thing has been out since June 1982, there is no excuse for sloppiness.
Yes fantastic job on the special effects but still like the original version somehow

@trollininyourlawn yea it was a petty detail in the original, i just think it led to a somewhat larger mistake in the prequel. but to be fair the real mistake was in the original, they just didn't expect people to notice all the little things. that being said, i wouldn't obsess over the details if i didn't think they were both great movies.

@LangdonOrr In the original script, it was implied that Kate would freeze to death. In the final cut, it wasn't made so clear, but it's safe to say she did. The Russian outpost was no closer than Outpost 31, which already took a helicopter ride to travel to.

Another theory is that the Splitface take off a part of his body to be turn into a perfectly imitated dog to be safe after being killed just like he did to sander

Why did the American camp in the 82 version just gladly welcome the dog into their camp? If I saw people shooting at a dog I probably wouldn't just go and pet it. I'd be like wtf. Good film though. Like the burnt two-face and frozen slit throat.

What pissed me off was the whole alien ship it arrived in. The Norgs unearthed it through charges in the '82 version. In this version, it's unearthed by the damn ship starting up! This ending isn't bad but the throw in of the Russian camp (nowhere mentioned by a US group who'd been stationed there just as long as the Norgs) where the girl goes to was kinda...weird. The loose ends in this movie that link it to the original, like the suicide, were thrown in too quick. However I did enjoy this one.

To think, when they found the americans, the one thing that got in their way of killing the thing once and for all was the language barrier.
Had the Americans known how to speak Norwegian, they would have found out about the dog... but then again the Norwegian guy in the chopper was frantic and gunning when he landed...so that didn't help either. So close...

Because it's not faithful to the 82 film, that is why. I just noticed now that neither guys had the fur hooded parka. So again it doesn't match up. In the 82 film, the shooter in the beginning has a fur hooded parka, yet in this one, neither do.
The kerosene cans are missing from splitface.
Collins neck wound doesn't even look close to the one seen in the 82 film and the blood trail is missing. So many problems, it gets a 0 .
They change the way the ship is unearthed.

@snake2006 They also made the Thing some kind of crazy idiot who just jumps up and screams at random, assimilating everyone in full view, bold as hell and right in the middle of everything - that makes NO SENSE! It's supposed to be intelligent? It was a silent assassin, now it's some screaming moron, running down a hallway, waving tentacles? Fuck off. Yeah, it has modern eye-candy effects, but the actual movie is some of the purest superficial garbage ever. Meaningless and a wasted opportunity.

Exactly, along with the very serious continuity errors made this movie bad. I don't even consider it a prequel. As far as I am concerned the story of the Nowregian camp has never been told nor was ever meant to be told.
snake2006 2 months ago
@snake2006 Fuck me, I could not agree with you more. Bill Lancaster's script was Godly and a deliberate series of strategic moves on both sides, with Thing winning through it's higher intelligence and, literally inhuman, lack of compassion, even for parts of itself, in favor of the long game - and humanity countering only from sheer desperation. From that POV, the Norwegian camp is an irrelevance but, if telling the story, it should have been told with similar sophistication and maturity - crap!

Oh and plus it's space ship worked the whole time, which begs the question WHY THE FUCK DID IT GET OUT???.
In the 82 film, you see the ship was having trouble in the beginning, yet in this movie it works just fine. What fucking shit is that? Seriously.
That plus they never show Collins death, there is no physical way he could cut his wrists then cut his throat, and it can't work the other way because you would be gasping for air and bleeding.
snake2006 2 months ago
@snake2006 Well exactly and this is the problem - in Thing '82, those issues are not material to the immediate storyline, but you go back and they become very difficult questions to answer. I don't have a problem necessarily in the attempt to answer, but if you do take that on, then answer those questions sensibly or just leave it alone -otherwise, your obviously just taking an easy option to rake over backstory, only because the checkmate of Thing '82 was just too damn good for you. WEAK!

@replyandyousuckballs dude its been a 100 thousand years till this alien was unearthed its probably rusty and some body parts cant make a working brain system so thats why it assimilates people right in front of people also in the 82 film it learns it has be sneaky from what it did to the norwegian camp.

@nicothemarine Pff. Come on - nice try, but that doesn't scan either. If it can survive 100,000 years, why the Hell would it be "rusty" with body parts that "can't make a working brain system"? Why would everything else be in Tip-Top Tentacle condition, except the "body parts" to make a working brain? These are individual cells working as a collective - the brain is fake - so the same deep frozen cells could make working tooth but not a brain and not re-organise to cover any defect? Garbage!!

@nicothemarine No: Norris-Thing broke cover because it got a terrific electric shock - and the reason it got that shock was because it replicated Norris *perfectly* - and that included replicating Norris' heart problem, which was hinted at a couple of scenes before Norris eventually passed out and which Thing could not have anticipated - with little experience of humans, it wouldn't know Norris' heart was not the best kind to copy. Sorry, what you said is garbage - just like Thing '11. GARBAGE!

@nicothemarine Norris-Head-Thing probably broke cover as it was in as much panic and reacting as instinctively as YOU would be if you were half burnt alive - it just wanted to get out of that room and the opportunity outweighed the risk. I don't think there was ANY MORE reason to it than that.
"It probably thought that humans were blah, blah, blah " - Oh, BALONEY! That kind of double-reasoning is not present in Thing '82. It's direct, almost basic in that directness. Thing '11 is pure GARBAGE!!

@TheRocketVoltage GARBAGE! The reason the Thing is an idiot in this movies is because the film-makers are idiots. You have just swallowed their post-rationalized excuses and are pewking it up on their behalf. Face it: it does not make any rational sense, AT ALL, for a creature that depends on fooling another species to inappropriately reveal itself - because its primary purpose is not "devouring" it's propagation by ASSIMILATION. It's more efficient to do that when *no-one knows you're there*!
replyandyousuckballs 2 months ago
@replyandyousuckballs Um, I didn't even know they made that reasoning. I deducted that by myself because you, know, I remembered that this is a PREQUEL.
The thing does also have an appetite, as displayed by the Juliette Thing. Of course, it's main goal is to survive by assimilation, but the creature also doesn't function on perpetual energy. I still go by the inexperience theory for the simple fact that it never dealt with humans before. We all start bad at first. :)

@TheRocketVoltage I hate that stupid excuse for having a dumbass monster. Why would the Thing be inexperienced with killing humans, or any other life form? It is it's nature to absorb and replicate a life form's body and mind. It crashed on earth in a 100,000 year old alien craft. They had to be smarter than humans. Shit, we can barely get to the moon. Those aliens couldn't stop it, but humans are too much for the Thing...bullshit. Bad excuse for a bad premake.

@cfh87cfp I'm sure once humans figure out modern warfare(guns) dont work, another way to kill something, simply burn it. So it had to stay hidden, to survive. It wasnt bad, just bad plot, not enough animatronics makeup, and shitty score. I liked it, just not as much as John's movie.
