Can only be classified as sci-fi horror, no longer the first thriller.

This prequel is a bit embarrassing. It seems that the script is so clichéd and the actors' acting skills are so cliché. It seems that the ending is not what the audience guessed, or the director took the wrong script. The plot is based on the weird content of the previous work, and the actor's acting skills seem to be very blunt. There is no foreshadowing like Parma's assimilation by the dog's mother, and there is no cold horror atmosphere. Plagiarize strange shapes everywhere. This is a pure science fiction monster movie at all. Although the ending is very clear, one thing that may be the most discussed is whether the heroine was assimilated in the end. The lens clues given here are too stingy and ambiguous, leaving a room for imagination and giving some breakthroughs to the previous routine. The movie as a whole is still the same, still at that level. With the strange shape of the pioneer, I am afraid that it will be difficult to surpass whether it is good or not.

    It is better to say that it is a prequel, or a prequel + a remake. Everything else is fine, but in the Antarctic for a while during the day and then at night, I was entangled in the whole film

    Thirty years after the remake of the original classic, the film industry has developed to this day, and the level of special effects can be said to be superb, but horror movies seem to be a bit of a dead end. Sophisticated technical processing can temporarily increase the visual excitement, but it lacks too much of the fascinating plot tension of old-fashioned films.

The Thing quotes

  • Adam Finch: What are you, an asshole?

  • Kate Lloyd: That's exactly what it wants. Not to mention you'd be giving it a way out of here. A way to spread. lt's like a virus. So what do we do with any virus?

    Adam Finch: Quarantine. We isolate it and then we kill it.
