Movie Review: The Thing

When Paleontologist Kate Lloyd (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) accepts the invitation to join a Norwegian team to Antartica, she expects to unravel the secrets of an alien creature found on an extraterrestrial ship buried in the ice. What she discovers to her horror, instead, is that it has woken up, and is killing them off one by one by "fusing" with their human forms. Soon, it becomes impossible to identify the real "them" from the aliens!

The icy blueness gets boring after a few mins, and some better visuals would have been refreshing! Mary does add some interest to the proceedings, but doesn't have much to do anyway. The visual FX of the alien forms fusing with the humans are interesting, and is the only redeeming factor in an otherwise listless movie.

Avoidable.
