Just watched The Thing (2011)
as a tie in and prequel to the 80's john carpenter 1982 film it was brilliant, as a film in its own right, you would be better watching the original first
lets put it this way, i have both on the computer right nor and watched the 1982 version a month or so ago. when i turned on the new one i was sure i had started the old one by mistake. It looks just right and feels just right all the way through
the big difference comes down to digital vs physical effects. and i have to say even the bad physical effects from the original look good next to the bad CGI in the new one, but there are a lot of similarities and it does feel like the same alien.
I liked it. I liked it because it goes to extreme lengths to tie in with the john carpenter version and i liked it because Mary Elisabeth Winstead is $%&#ing cool and beautiful in everything she does
