Review of The Thing (2011) by Keith P — 13 May 2012
Considering the 1982 version is one of my favorite horror/sci-fi movies, so much so that I wrote a sequel in 85, you would think I would have really liked this movie. Unfortunately that is definitely not the case.
The movie is billed as a prequel and while it does cover what happened to the Norwegian research team, a good 85% of this movie was taken from the 82 version. I will not go into detail as I would not want to spoil the 1982 version for anyone who has not seen it.
Pass on this film and go for the 1982 version. Even the 30 year old special effects are nearly identical to what was done in this prequel.
