A very strong 3 - Or: Better than expected, although not outstanding

It is important to know that I'm films in terms of logical action and authenticity critical. Unfortunately, since fall most newer horror films mostly by mercilessly. The Thing is an exception in this regard. Nevertheless, the film all the time between 2-4 stars skidded on the "Star Meter" back and forth and stayed with ner 3 are what in a horror movie not a bad rating is on my scale.
The actors were surprisingly good and authentic.
The effects are, of course, has improved over the past almost 30 years. But as the existing since modern computer animation and 3D technology wisdom says: A good animation does not make a good movie. But it has a good smack, that the animations did not look cheap, apart VII of the scene at the ship.

But what was still bad is the lack of imagination. Clear in many places it was linked to the previous film. Nevertheless, one could have made the movie better. My credo was: tell more and thus build tension, as cheap shocker (in which no less than 12 more properly frightened) and Action.
The creators decided unfortunately majority of the latter. This need not be bad as long as they are largely without board washed up scenes (such as the car do not jump to, deduction jammed right now etc ..) manages that are to tide the fact that the author has occurred to no good Reconciliation / declaration continue to the movie permit or if it lacks the creators of time and quick decisions need her (in a film with almost 2hrs term but should not be the case). (More info to see below)

OK. This can be deleted. The film, please do not turn off uncredited after the appearance of the first name !!! (Also linked the film does not quite to the old. Where do remain those who persecute the Huskies by helicopter ??????)

All in all, the film is actually ok, but only on terms that it is a horror. Otherwise, the really not a must, unless you have seen the original movie from the 80s.

Further, more detailed criticisms (Attention! It could provide as spoilers) (Also depicts the my mind and my logic. I look forward to other impressions and objective criticism in the comments)
The creators have messed it almost completely to make the film so that it provides interesting information so that a better overall picture arises when one mingled both sequences. In the beginning it looked after, when you showed the starship. One would have the Norwegians so just leave the thing as found in the ice, but no! There had to be a spaceship. Unfortunately, it was not observed. I thought you climb in and gaining new insights. The ship remained until the last scene unnoticed, what then but the (sheet metal) crown touches the film. That thing tried to escape and start the ship. And everything works. But that makes the whole story untenable. Because it has been attempted to explain that the only travelers of the ship, the thing rescue examined or has left for another similar motive the ship and froze. Now the ship works. All this makes no sense at all.

More platitudes, unnatural and illogical behavior (not all, because sooo boring and bad the movie was not that I = incidentally make tinge notes)):
-Man Sends 2-3er troops without arms to catch the thing that broke free from a block of ice, while 3 meters jumped by a blanket that he destroyed.
- (When asked if you had equipment in order to lift a block of ice (about 2-3 tons) say that everything was spot I held alone the question of surprising because I thought that one omits this because. Are we really more devices need to be sure not found in an Arctic station. But then you have the scene where you digging the huge block, of course, left out gallantly. If indeed implausible looked like if a Liebherr crane in Antarctica is and ice blocks digging.)
-deduction The flamethrower jammed.
-How Ever flamethrower on a geological research station?
-The Thing is very strong and very fast and very accurate. Kill People often immediately surge through the body. Hmm ... Only with the main cast is veeeery slow, can be meeeeeeehr time and if it does occur in attack nearby (which must always be at the leading actors as opposed to the "normal people" under 1m), it pushes it just and not by their bodies. All this is made very easy and flat.
-Glory For America. No film without Americans. Not even then if it is a Norwegian research station in the middle of the Antarctic. They are of course the winners know everything etc. Where the Norwegians had more than just on parts, which is the film to write well.
-It'm Sorry but I have to mention it: The "Odds Black" was, as in almost every horror film also Registered. And as in almost every horror film he had not much to say here as well and has often followed the instructions of his white fellow pilots. And of course, he dies. Really? How many times must it be more? Can not leave out the? Or if you want to have a black man doing absolutely, then he can not at least play the times cool experienced giving the instructions? Platitudes index = 100%
-No Subtitles for Amazon Prime. Thus missed vll important information. (Floss in the film rating not one.)
