The Thingie

Rating: 5/10 (14 April 2014)

Half-good (which means half-bad) sci-fi about a cosmic creature that causes havoc on the frozen tundra of Antarctica.
Amidst the most unscientific scientists on Earth, this thing from outer space tries to copy the DNA of every researcher on the base and it's up to Kurt Russell(?) to save the day.... I've gone to sleep with more comforting thoughts.
When the rest of these idiots are not smoking grass or pouring liquor into their electronic equipment (that was smart), they try to help figure out what to do next, however futile their various suggestions and actions may be.
John Carpenter's take on the 1951 'classic', though you might want to take a rain-check on this and watch the original instead.
