One absolutely critical flaw this movie made was NEVER removing the POV from Winstead's character, giving the audience someone they could always trust. The '82 version had a 10 minute(or so) segment of Macready going outside and you not seeing him, so when he gets back even the audience is suspicious of him.

The thing about cgi that baffles me is that even when it's bad cg if you take a frame of it, it still looks good, often reallly good. It's something about the motion that seems to get people, I've seen people say it's becasue the cgi is animated at a different frame rate than the movie was filmed at.

@thathorrorguy1974 Жыл бұрын

you clearly haven't seen Anaconda 3. The cgi in that movie, still or not, haunts my nightmares with its terribleness

@chrisytfc879 Жыл бұрын

It's to do with the motion. One frame on its own can look fine, but how the element moves between frames can look less realistic, especially if rushed.

@spyegle 8 ай бұрын

I think it's two things (lol), the lighting and movement. Lighting because the thing is way too visible all the time, and they use those really weird shading on the monster that highlights it too well. Then the movement, it seems like they aniamted it a bit too much, like EVERY part of the thing has to move all the time, which is very unnatural (that sounds like a good idea but it's not), also i dont know if they animated the monster at 24ips but it seems way too smooth, like they tried to hide it with motion blur, but TERRIBLE motion blur that doesnt match the camera

@entguarde 3 күн бұрын

All I remember was that the end fight consists of you getting in a chopper with some unknown pilot. And then you got to destroy The Thing once and for all which has grown to a huge thing, then when flying away you ask the pilot who he is and he says he's the same pilot from the 80's movie Mac. And they leave it open to determine if he is the thing or Mac. And because everytime a movie has pulled this clichée, they are never human so I'm guessing that The thing was mimicing Mac and got away in the end.

The Thing 2011 has its flaws but it will always hold a special place in my heart because it birthed my love of horror. When I was a kid way back in 2012, there was a shelf of DVDs in my local supermarket. Right at my eye level was a DVD release of The Thing 2011. It had an image of a man in a hooded winter coat kneeling in the snow. One hand was human, the other was a tendril-like claw. Underneath the title was the tagline “It’s Not Human…Yet”. It all sent my 8 year old mind whirring, and I couldn’t help but be captivated by it. What is “The Thing”? Why is it becoming human? What’s wrong with this guy’s hand? It all disturbed me, but it stirred an odd fascination in me. And that has remained prevalent into my adulthood. So I will always hold The Thing 2011 close for being the catalyst of my love for horror.

The story was actually well executed and seemed to line up perfectly. The problem was I didn't care about the characters. They didn't have any emotional impact at all like they did in the 82 version. The second big problem was they kept ripping the same ideas from the original as you stated. And the third problem was overreliance on CGI instead of practical effects.

How many scenarios can you really use in a research station out in the boonies? Doesn't help that they have to stick to the continuity the original already established since it's a prequel. So obviously they'd end up using the same ideas. Imagine how pissed you'd be if the prequel suddenly threw out everything the original went through and suddenly just did everything in an urban jungle setting filled with gang wars, which completely has nothing to do with research stations in antarctica, just because you didn't want it to be the same setting/ideas.
