‘The Thing’ from 1982 if considered to be one of the greatest sci-fi films of all time. The 2011 prequel, not so much. However, probably the biggest reason why people don’t like it is, because of the terrible-looking CGI. It started with the work print. The executives HATED the practical effects and had them replaced almost completely. Amalgamated Dynamics practical work went to waste. The original work print is unavailable to the public and the executives probably never looked at it twice. If this work print is at least released onto a 10th Anniversary DVD in 2021, it’ll make quite a bit of money. TRUST ME. If it’s released on DVD, Blue-Ray, and Digital Download, then people will probably like The Thing (2011) a lot more. Well, at least this version.

Thank you, and have a good day.
