Film Review: The Thing 2011

Genre:  Horror Mystery Sci-Fi, contain extreme alien mutation & bloody violence

Cert: 18 cert

Story: Paleontologist Kate Lloyd has traveled to Antarctica 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. Kate must join the crew's pilot, Carter, to keep the shape-shifting alien 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.

Likes : This film was fantastic for a prequel,it answer a lot of questions on where the dog came from & what happen to the Norwegians in the first film with Kurt Russel. The special effect on the alien creature was just awesome,good thing about this film as well as it got a lot of twists & it make you think who is not human. One other thing i like is the story line of these two films is that an alien organism can mimic its self to perfect imitation into anything it consumes to survive.the cast was good as well, Mary Elizabeth Winstead seriously beautiful actress who plays Kate Lloyd a Paleontologist who get flown to the camp & discovers what the alien is doing, Other cast in the film where good aswell-Joel Edgerton who played Carter, Ulrich Thomsen-who plays Dr. Sander Halvorson,Eric Christian Olsen - who plays Adam Finch,Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje -who plays Jameson, Paul Braunstein- who plays Griggs, Trond Espen Seim- who plays Edvard Wolner, Kim Bubbs- who plays Juliette , Jørgen Langhelle -who plays Lars, Jan Gunnar Røise- who plays Olav,Stig Henrik Hoff-who plays Peder,Kristofer Hivju -who plays Jonas, Jo Adrian Haavind- who plays Henrik, Carsten Bjørnlund - Karl, Jonathan walker-Colin, this film was just awesome all the way through it kept you on the edge of your seat .

Dislikes : there's nothing i can say because this film was good

Overall: if you liked the first film from 1982 with Kurt Russel your love this prequel to that film,it an unmissable film full of suspense & terror.

Rating : 5 out of 5 stars for entertainment, 10 out of 10 for suspences & terror
