THE THING (2011) MOVIE REACTION - HOW DID WE NOT CATCH ON SOONER!?- FIRST TIME WATCHING - REVIEW

Welcome to our first-time watching as we react to The Thing (2011). Delving into the mysterious Antarctic outpost and what lies within was truly a fun experience! Directed by Matthijs van Heijningen Jr., "The Thing" (2011) serves as a prequel to John Carpenter's iconic film, following a group of researchers who uncover an extraterrestrial organism that can perfectly imitate any living being. Mary Elizabeth Winstead plays Kate Lloyd, a palaeontologist, joins a team of scientists in Antarctica where they discover an alien buried in ice. However, things take a turn when the alien escapes and goes on a killing spree. Missed some of the practical elements in this but it was so much fun exploring some more of the lore. We hope you enjoy our reactions and commentary as we discuss the film, it's connections with the original (1982) and how this coudl've been a much better film had they released the original cut with the practical effects! A few months ago when we did our first time watching "The Thing" doing things practically is something we praised it for. It is a shame the studio replaced the practical for CGI.
