Yeah, they made a remake of the old "the thing" movie. or so i thought. i went to see it, and turns out it's actually a prequel, with the end leading up somewhat perfectly to the beginning of the older movie.
SPOILEEEERRRS
Basically a bunch of Norwegian men out in Antarctica find a block of ice with this thing in it and it breaks out and forgets up everyone's stuff. and it can imitate people.
and getting it's cells on your cells causes it to eat up the cells inside your body and mimic the old ones, leaving the person oblivious to the fact they are this thing, until of course they change.
REVIEWS
The critics say this movie was so/so, because it wasn't a straight up copy of john carpenters movie. (dammit forget critics) but most to all users loved it and gave it high ratings. it's definitely worth watching, and if you've seen the first movie you'll see how well it ties in with it. I personally loved it.
