The Thing Returns

A group of explorers from Mcmurdo station go to outpost 31, only to discover the two dead bodies on ice of last survivors from the original movie, then the nightmare begins, the thing still lives and starts to take over their base, killing and assimilating all the crew, and it´s up to two guys to stop it.

The "scientific" aspect is better than previous films, for me this sequel is great and equal to the first ''The thing'' it has more blood and gore, the story is fast paced, The CGI is not that great, but they used practical effects too. The alien scenes are scary, so I wouldn't complain about that.

It exists as a worthy extension, not an insult to the memory of a cult classic. It offers a similar overall experience without replicating styles and situations.

I was not expecting to like this film at all. And actually I quite enjoyed it. As I say, it's not really my type of thing, as I'm not a horror fan, but i remember watching the original on tv, and liked it, so I was looking forward to see this one.

The story you could say that it's a bit typical with few twists or complicated plots and it was easy to see what would happen, you know who isn't going to die and so on.

The visual effects are amazing and quite frightening, actually.

I´d rate it a 7.

Sequels are usually a disappointment as they try to raise the bar and fail. This movie doesn't attempt that. It didn't fall into the trap of adding boring clichés or breaking the suspense with cheap laughs. It didn't try to change the formula too much and that's a good thing. Why re-invent the wheel. Just make another interesting one.

I definitely enjoyed it and I would suggest my friends to go watch it. That's just my sincerest opinion about this movie.

The first 35 minutes were simply boring...then the gore begins...just globs of crawling goo, a humanoid-like figure here and there, lots of blood and guts. There is little to no similarity to the original "The Thing", No sense of anything with a plot., the acting is 3 on a scale of 1-10. I would recommend not wasting your time. Don't make me tell you, "I told you so".... PASS.....

Rarely do you find a sequel that skillfully pays homage through storytelling.

You can watch first 2011 and then 1982 and finally 2021, you will be satisfied, like me. Awesome, scary concept, great sci-fi! Bravo!! This "franchise" deserves even more! The Thing still lives... We're waiting for more!

It ties up all the loose ends and leaves room for one more... bring it.
