BUMP!!!
Just finished watching this. At first I was like "hmm...this doesn't seem too bad." Then I was like "this is pretty good, guess the critics were wrong. I mean, it may not be the original but it's pretty decent." Then it turned into a CGi shitfest and I was like "ok, yeah, it's bad." Once it turns into a bad two-headed CGI dog thing chasing people around it gets really dumb.
Also the lead-in to the Carpenter version was nonsense.

While watching the movie towards the end I was thinking "what the hell is this blue and yellow 3D Dot Heroes thing? And can The Thing actually fly this ship?"
Then I did a little digging. Turns out that blue-yellow dot thing was added to cover up the pilot of the ship hanging there, apparently there was some stuff cut that established that The Thing was a captive on the ship, not a crew member.

That pretty much describes the whole film. None of it made much sense and pretty much ignored the rules set up in the first film. I don't normally have too much issue with that unless it's hamfisted and lazy and serves no purpose.
Which is pretty much this film in a nutshell.

That was awesome, apart from the god-awful music.  |

That was awesome, apart from the god-awful music. But they said the same about the main theme song in the original. |

This movie was fucking terrible. It wasn't bad enough to be worth watching for "so bad it's good," it was just bad. The effects were terrible (especially the bits in the ship at the end) and the ending was even worse. I also don't remember the critter being able to talk quite so much in the original movie. It didn't look like 1982. I don't understand why they didn't just start over instead of trying and failing miserably to shoehorn this to the beginning of the first movie.
Or just, you know, not remake a classic.

That was awesome, apart from the god-awful music. I hope that was sarcasm. That song is fucking awesome! |
