   I do not recall the original The Thing to be so action-oriented and I believe the age of suspense in movie-making had ended after the 80's, partially because modern-day technology creates images that are far too sharp and leave too little to the imagination but then again, I can't hold really hold that against a movie. As far as modern day science-fiction goes, The Thing is an excellent movie. It has suspense, an interesting cast, good looking CGI monsters and a plot that flows along neatly. It doesn't try to answer any questions, it just wants the viewer to enjoy the ride without putting too much thought in it. I think it could have easily used half an hour more to explain the motivation of The Thing.… Expand

   Dissapointing. Definately not as good as the original classic. Just watch the original instead. This movie doesnt't have much plot and the Characters and story are forgettable.… Expand

   So much potential, so sadly wasted. There was nothing original in this film whatsoever (I know it's a remake of a remake, but is it too much to expect some new ideas anyway?), it was completely predictable and obvious. From "shock" moments to monster sounds, nothing came as a surprise. If you've seen the trailer, you can skip the movie. Plot and logic holes throughout and there isn't even any comic relief. It's a good thing they kept it relatively short, so at least it isn't boring. My recommendation: Watch something else.… Expand
