The Thing Review

Watched The Thing starring Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Joel Edgerton. I though it was a good prequel to the 1982 film. I also thought the film offers a similar overall experience to the 1982 film without replicating styles and situations. I did not think the film was scary, but it does offer a lot of chills and thrills. Mary Elizabeth Winstead stands out with her portrayal of a paleontologist. She keeps a cool, logical head whilst others around her start to panic. The special effects of this film was great and the scenery of Antarctica an extraordinary continent of awesome beauty. I thought it was very entertaining, with a superb leads and supporting acting performances. I like how the ending perfectly tie this film with Carpenter's movie. I still believe that the dialogue and script had a few plot holes ,but it was still a great film. I will give it a B+.
