THE THING 2011
I saw this yesterday, and it's not bad. It's actually pretty good, I thought. Not as good as the Carpenter classic, but it holds it's own I think.This is a prequel to the Carpenter film. In many ways...

Thank you for not revealing spoilers. I was thinking of catching an afternoon matinee sometime this week before going into work.

I assumed it was a straight remake and wrote it off. Thanks for the info, perhaps I'll check it out.

Doesn't sound like any of the things cut would've mattered all too much. There's just not a whole lot of investment in the story, here. 'm reminded of those prequel tie-in comics that come out right...

The picture quality looked sharp and fine at the theatre I went to. Maybe they had a bad print? Yeah, it's not some super great cinematic acheivement. But it's a decent alien monster flick. I can't...

I'll perhaps wait for the DVD release but what I seen in trailer/commercials it is a rip-off of the Carpenter film and trying to make this a prequel of a film that's a remake kind sounds bogus to me.

I have not seen this yet but from all the reviews I have read it doesn't sound too promising. I am sure that when it pops up on dvd I will check it out!

Pretty awesome video posted the other day of what the practical effects looked like pre-CGI for the THING remake:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2bsXC-uhXQAmazing stuff, and they had to muck it up...

Thanks for the awesome link:) There are times where the CGI had me laughing....it's comically bad at points. I have to feel that even if they had kept the practical work ( and I wish they had ) the...

I saw this in the theater back when it opened...eminently forgettable. They managed to capture absolutely none of the claustrophobic paranoia of Carpenter's film.

It's nowhere as great, or good as the Carpenter film. And I do not like CGI. But, I still found it entertaining.

I watched this last night on dvd. Like lobo I found it entertaining enough despite the friggin' cg effects. I actually fell asleep to it and had creepy crawlers in my dreams as well. What hurt the 82...
