As a prequel, it's still good (with some spoilers)

This "The Thing Prequel" is a prequel to the classic movie "The Thing" in 1982 (seems like nonsense...), the front part of "The Thing" in 1982 said that when the Americans entered the Norwegian research station, they saw a A series of ruins, corpses, traces of fighting (axes), monster corpses, alien spaceships, this part of the clip actually contains a lot of information, indicating that there was a fierce battle, and "The Thing Prequel" is to reproduce this. battle. As a prequel, "The Thing Prequel" clearly explains how the ruins, corpses, and monsters in "The Thing" came from. The connection is quite good at this point, which is worthy of praise.

However, there are many shortcomings, the first is its computer stunt. "The Monster" in 1982 did not have any computer stunts, and the stunt scenes were all done by stop-motion animation. The shortcoming of stop-motion animation is that the movements of the monsters look unsmooth and weird, but one of the advantages of stop-motion animation is that those monsters are all Really, the texture is pretty good, it looks real, you look at the stills from The Thing, those monsters are real things, not fake like computer animation.
"The Thing" is not a big production like "Avatar", so the computer stunts still don't look realistic enough, at least in my opinion, far less realistic than "The Thing" in 1982. The result is that "The Thing" "It's far less scary (or disgusting) than "The Thing" in 1982.

The second disadvantage is that this movie is the kind of routine where beautiful women defeat BOSS and live to the end. Everyone's opinions and preferences may be quite different on this point, so it's a matter of opinion.

But what I want to complain about is that when I was inside the UFO, the exhaust fan was turned on when the UFO started, and the heroine did not run out and got rid of it. I thought it was not unconventional for the heroine to die like this. Who knows, who knows, it turns out It was the director who arranged for the heroine to go directly to destroy the boss! This is not just a cliché, it's a super cliché! With such a big spaceship, the heroine was asked to climb to the location of the boss. What is fate? The director arranged it to be fate!

Later, the beauty was knocked to the ground by the boss, but the boss didn't kill her right away, but made a appearance and changed her shape. When the heroine climbed into the hole, the boss rushed to catch her, (except in this section) It was the director who deliberately let go of the heroine, there is absolutely no other possibility, no doubt. -_- ). The result is naturally not caught (the director insisted on letting go of the heroine. Seeing this, you know that the heroine has 100% of the survival ticket.), under this series of luck, the heroine finally eliminated the BOSS, unscathed (almost Unscathed!) survived to become a new generation of Lieutenant Ripley (see "ALIEN"). All right.

I think how efficient it was to destroy several people with one big tentacle of the monster, and the movements were quick and clean, but in front of the heroine's halo, these are all scum, really, they are all scum.

I originally wanted to praise "The Thing Prequel", because it really clearly explained the stories that were not explained in "The Thing" in 1982, and the connection is quite good, but... the parts that I accidentally complained about were all Catch up with the compliment part... I still don't continue to complain...

    So ugly ah ah ah! ! ! Well, in fact, what I want to say is that aliens with suspense elements are still better than simple humans fighting monsters. But! It was so ugly when I transformed, I couldn't bear it at all! ! ! besides! Isn't Antarctica supposed to be polar day and polar night? ! Why is it normally dark and bright? ! !

    I haven't seen the original, so I feel ok. Although Carter's earrings are gone in the end, there are always girls who kill the wrong person... and whether the girls are also infected... Do you have to watch the real story to know?
