The Thing (2011)



To start this review i am going to say this "GO SEE THIS MOVIE!!!!!!!" this movie was epic, freakin epic no amount of words can describe this film..... but i can try can't i? First and for most this is a prequel to the 1989 the thing starring Kurt Russel and this movie explains what happened prior to the 1989 film, If you notice in the '89 film the block of ice that the alien emerged from.  This film also explains why the dog (SPOILER ALERT!!!!: even though if you saw the first film you would know the dog is an alien right? well yes but also the guy shooting at the dog in the beginning is the actual dogs owner (because this dog is a mimic). The end of the new movie is the beginning of the '89 film, you confused yet, well it'll all make sense soon. Now when this film starts up you see some beautiful scenery and the camera pans toward a vehicle made for snow travel (I in all honesty don't know what they are called) and inside this vehicle are three people. Now this doesn't really further the story till they fall down a crevice that appears from under them and what they find you don't really see or at least not yet you don't. Now we cut to the main character Kate Lloyd played by Mary Elizabeth Winstead who gives a great performance and to my surprise is quit believable and she doesn't seem like an actor but an actual person. Now as we progress through the movie after the alien escapes from it's icy prison, the characters find out that the alien could be anyone or anything because it can replicate it's victims DNA and eventually becomes them. The CGI for the movie was awesome it looked real and it excited the hell out of me when the climax started. Go check this movie out and support our alien overlords.
