Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
John Carpenter is a genius. I've been a fan of his work for a couple of years now, but i've never watched The Thing. (Well I kinda did a couple years ago, but I got bored and I just played games on my phone, because I was a stupid kid. Was, more like am). Well at the beginning of this year I got really interested in movies and I watched a lot of Carpenter's movies. I liked them all (Yes, even Ghosts Of Mars). I finally watched The Thing and wow. It's so good. Great acting, Amazing effects, Breathtaking Music, Perfect Tension and a really really awesome ending. 10/10. Everyone should watch it.
The Thing is an all time classic sci-fi/horror movie. Great writing, performances, and a fantastic ending. Great soundtrack. This movie is just plain awesome! It holds up today too.
Discover how isolation, suspense, mystery and terror combine to deliver one of the all time best cinematic experiences of the genre. Carpenter creates something so intense, I doubt anyone can ever repeat. So sit back, try to relax during this one.Or, you can watch crappy CGI some more. Your choice.Tony.
Really tense horror movie with some great body horror and really good performances. Reminds me a lot of Alien.
