Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

A dark and interesting horror. Comparisons to the original will lead to disappointment but it was a good horror as a stand alone film. Some scary bits and freaky monster scenes.

This movie spits in the face of The Thing(1982), and is an absolute disgrace to the series. It has almost none of the clever set ups of the previous movie, and doesn't establish suspense anywhere close to what the first film did.It wasn't clear what was happening or who the thing might be in the previous movie, because you were only fed as much information as the characters had. In this movie, you have unnecessary pauses as characters react to situations, completely illogical responses to situations, and excessive showing of The Thing itself, killing it's value as a monster from another world. The more you see the thing, the less frightening it is, and even more so with CGI effects. The previous movie had some ridiculous animations at times, but it's the real deal what you see unfold. It's gruesome, and handmade. The CGI animations in this just look ridiculous, and it establishes similarly ridiculous death scenes. The characters seemingly stand there as they then get executed by the Thing. The characters in the previous film seemed considerably more helpless, and surprised by The Thing when it attacked. It was quick, and lethal. The death scenes in this one go on forever, as people stand around in shock with their mouths hanging open. I cannot believe no matter how horrible the sight, that people would just stand there with flamethrowers in hand, and just watch as people get devoured.I'll also add there's some gag worthy small talk flirting at the beginning of the movie(I'm most certainly not referring to the Norwegian joke at the very beginning), that I'm pretty certain no one asked for, EVER, in a Thing movie. Just what my suspenseful movies need, some pointless flirting. Not dogging on the female actors, they're fine, but the previously all male cast definitely kept those people more focused on the plot, and not a drugged Joel Edgerton mumbling some charm.This movie is laughably bad, but no where near the level of being enjoyable. It reveals some prequel information for The Thing universe, but somehow a movie released 29 years after the previous movie, couldn't hold a candle to that movie. Whoever created these scenes was clearly drunk, or had their child think these up. So stupid it's painful.

The cheap cop out in horror strikes again. Make it nighttime, then save money on special effects. Filmmakers, listen up again, making it dark/at night DOES NOT MAKE IT SCARY! All it means is you cannot see what's going on.
