Review of The Thing (2011) by Shajac19 — 16 Feb 2020
A travesty compared to the 1982 and 1951 classics. Clearly trying more to horrify with bad CGI than to live up to the originals. The performances from Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Joel Edgerton are pretty good but do not justify Universal greenlighting this cheap attempt to capitalize on one of the greatest horror franchises ever.
This movie is fairly enjoyable but makes me wonder why I can't just go watch the 1982 version and live with Kurt Russell in ignorance of the whereabouts of the Norwegian crew.
