If they released the pilot version and didn't cover up the practical effects it would've been a decent prequal.

it sucked. why make basically the same movie? they should have went with a different angle

completely unnecessary I never understood the “sequel prequel” to movies that were originally made in the 70s or 80s

I kind of liked it, everyone else hated it.

I enjoyed it. MEW was in it as well so that was a nice bonus.

>what if we redid the Thing but this time...
>we added women
>replaced practical effects with CGI
>made it a prequel so everyone knows how it ends and rob the finale of tension

cute MC
good as a prequel
bad as a movie
cgi is so atrocious it becomes ridiculous especially in the alien ship section

Next person to get dubs is The Thing

I happen to like it. It's one of the big "fuck you I liked it" films here. A minority opinion.

I watched it in the theater near halloween and I actually got a bit scared when things were going south. Real shame about the practical effects, no one seriously disputes that, but I generally liked what I saw. Story makes sense relative to 1982 (the frequently leveled complaint about how the thing seems to be hyper-charged initially in 2011 is invalid), no silly love interest nonsense.

There's a few good moments, but it's mostly just a worse version of the first movie. The Thing is just a lot dumber and just doesn't let the scenes breathe, it's all right in your face with cheap looking CGI (which was a last minute thing over the practical effects unfortunately), and no time for atmosphere. Just a cheap knockoff cashgrab that didn't pay off.

its okay, not terrible, decent enough

It's... fine? It's entertaining. Didn't need to be made, but was neat just the same. The worst part is how badly the SFX team got fucked over when the suits replaced all the godlike practical effects with okay-ish CG that looked nowhere near as good.

The pilot animatronic was cool and would have expanded the lore of the thing. The tetris thing was somehow more accepted than the pilot, inconceivable! It was a neat effect but you could have had both.

Skip the first hour where nothing happens.

The thing short story through his poverty is something every fan should check out. It captures the holy mission of survival that it has and how it's absorption is a communion not an attack.

The CGI part is even more insulting due to the fact they DID have impressive practical effects for the movie but were cut out.

Goddamned awful.

I liked it but I had never seen or heard of the original before and my dad took me to see it in theaters.

Was alright but nothing special. I find it absurd that people are enraged at it. Sure the CGI-over-practicals shit was gay but the movie is pretty inoffensive, albeit obviously nowhere near as important as the first.
