The Thing (2011)

Genre: Science-fiction / Horror
Directed by: Matthijs van Heijningen Jr.
Starring: Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Joel Edgerton, Ulrich Thomsen
Running time: 103 minutes



This movie is the prequel to the 1982 original directed by John Carpenter.

In this one, a Norwegian research team finds an alien spacecraft under the ice in Antarctica and decides to extract it and study it. Unfortunately for them, things don’t go as planned and trouble soon ensues.

The filmmakers involved into making this prequel and the cast hired to deliver the product on screen totally failed to gain my interest in any way. Quite frankly, I was bored and tuned out of this one quite rapidly. I will stick to the original John Carpenter film. Lots of flash and attempted sizzle in this 2011 film, but nothing really connected with me.
