The Thing

Movie: The Thing
Genre: sci-fi / horror
Synopsis: This is a remake of the 1982 movie of the same name starring Kurt Russell which was a remake of the 1951 movie “The Think from Outer Space” which starred a young James Arness as the “Thing”.  An Antarctic science mission discovers a space ship that crashed 100,000 years ago.  When they investigate, they discover that not everyone on the ship died.  The survivor is able to replicate any organic being.  It becomes a race to identify whose identity the Thing has assumed before everyone is killed off.

My two cents: A pretty decent horror flick.  It was a bit much to think that something that survived in a spaceship crash opted to stay buried for 100,000 years rather than fly out . . . and the whole replication thing is a bit much.  But if you get past that, this movie should keep your adrenaline flowing.
