sue m I decided I'd do my bit to raise this just a little. I appreciated this as a prequel. It's definitely watchable. Yes they're all a little stiff and maybe it relies on jump scares but it does flesh out the story in a moderately enjoyable way. Don't compare to carpenters. Just watch it for a good story. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/29/25 Full Review Jeffrey P I was always dismissive of this, and never bothered to give it a good viewing, let alone a review. Then I learned something that changed how I view it and that is that it is a prequel and not a reboot or remake. That little tidbit changes everything and really would have helped if people knew this going in. No one is going to say this is better than the 1982 offering; the soundtrack is not as good, the characters and styles are a bit out of place for the time, the c.g.i. was worse than the practical effects, and it did seem to try and trace over the lines of it’s predecessor a bit too much, really too similar to the predecessor for a prequel... but people may have been a bit too hard on it. Should have called it The Thing: First Contact or something along those lines, so audiences knew it was a prequel from the start. Though I suppose it wouldn’t have mattered anyways without the soundtrack and the bad c.g.i., fans of the original would have hated it no matter what.

Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/12/25 Full Review Jolin S Okay all these negative critics need to back off. This movie is giving us a good amount of information leading us up to Carpenters classic Thing movie. I enjoyed it especially the special effects/CGI. I mean really how can you not love the creatures the Thing turns into, and how about the way the ending rolls right into Carpenters movie. If you, like me, love watching sci-fi/horror movies then plug this one in, sit back and enjoy them. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/19/25 Full Review Marcus V É um filme que tenta, mas infelizmente falha. Acertos: Os personagens têm mais tempo de desenvolvimento, oq faz a gente simpatizar e se preocupar com eles; Mais pessoas aumentam a quantidade de suspeitos; A Coisa é menos sútil, oq demonstra q ela aprende com os erros; e a nave foi uma mudança interessante de cenário. Erros: O desenvolvimento dos personagens não se aplica a todos, têm alguns com quem a gente não se importa tanto; o filme é mto mais voltado pra ação, oq tira grande parte da tensão, um pecado pra um filme de terror; o CGI É HORROROSO! muitas vezes não dá pra entender oq a coisa tá virando e em muitos momentos q gente sente q é tudo falso; E a fotógrafa é bem genérica. Agora oq mais me desapontou nesse filme, foi q ia ter o piloto da nave. Nos vídeos dos bastidores têm toda a dedicação nos efeitos práticos e o visual de um alien IRADO! Q foi reduzido a uma parede de Tetris. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/16/25 Full Review Sebastian L Not exactly terrible but doesn't seem to know where to go or what the purpose of the story is. Winstead manages to portray a protagonist with surprising depth considering the material. A very unnecessary film indeed.
