Review of The Thing (2011) by Lumdog — 17 Aug 2021
Its entertaining enough but is just completely unoriginal. It's almost a shot for shot remake of the 1982 film and depends too heavily on its nostalgia; despite it being a prequel. The characters are pretty forgettable, and the decision to use CGI over practical effects I think backfired.
The CGI is really average in a lot of scenes and they don't instil fear and terror in you that the practical effects in the 1982 version did.
