A prequel to the 1982 films of the same name: A research team in the Antarctic comes across an alien spacecraft leading to a confrontation between the lead scientist and his graduate students on what to do about the discovery. what the hell did I just watch, just a lame prequel to a scary 80's movie like the thing.

I was afraid to watch this after being a huge fan of the original and I didn't want them to screw the original up. Shockingly they didn't screw it up and made a awesome, graphic, and bloody add on to the original. I really recommended watching this for sci-fi /horror fans, don't worry you'll be safe being a die hard fan of the original,,

Poor character development, screenplay and direction. The actors usually mumble and plot seems to be pointless. It only becomes interesting when the aliens attack the people. Effects were believable but you can never really enjoy the conversations and film's motive. The Thing is poorly executed gore-fest in which the figures were deserving to get killed because of the lack of believability.

Though, this is technically a 'prequel', it comes off as a bland rehash of the first film, but with different characters and happenings. There are a few good ideas that don't amount to anything and one scene in the middle of the film actually contains some tension. The CG monster is a drag. I felt detached the entire time. In the end, it's a pointless expedition.
