An above average movie

Rating: Null/10 (27 January 2000)

Although not completely original, The Thing is definitely worth watching. Maybe the acting isn't fantastic but the movie has a great plot and is full of action. Perhaps the defining moments of the movie are those that almost made you want to vomit. The special effects work in this movie is very well-made. Halfway into the movie we get that paranoid, cabin feverish feel when the researchers realize the horrible truth. The Thing is not ground breaking, but it is imaginative and a very nice piece of work and deserves a viewing. I give it 3 stars(out of 5).
