The Thing

• Paleontologist Kate Lloyd (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) has traveled to the desolate region for the expedition of her lifetime. Joining a Norwegian scientific team that has stumbled across an extraterrestrial ship buried in the ice, she discovers an organism that seems to have died in the crash eons ago. But it is about to wake up.When a simple experiment frees the alien from its frozen prison, Kate must join the crew's pilot, Carter (Joel Edgerton), to keep it from killing them off one at a time. And in this vast, intense land, a parasite that can mimic anything it touches will pit human against human as it tries to survive and flourish.


• I still am not sure if I liked this or didn't. It was just kind of there. Crazy gore and creepy sci-fi alien effects throughout but I didn't care at all about the characters or where the story was going. It was basically like a serial killer movie but it was an alien.


• I guess I wouldn't really recommend this movie to anyone outside of fanboys of Fangoria magazine. That's really all it ended up being - gore effects.
