Have you ever lived in a cold and harsh climate with the aliens?
Of course not, but I certainly felt like I was part of a research team based in Antarctica looking into the existence of aliens while watching the film, “The Thing”. Here is the plot summary, provided by the Internet Movie Database (IMDb)
“Antarctica is an extraordinary continent of awesome beauty. It is also home to an isolated outpost where a discovery full of scientific possibility becomes a mission of survival when an alien is unearthed by team of international scientists. The shape-shifting creature, accidentally unleashed at this colony, has the ability to turn itself into a perfect replica of any living being. It can look just like you or me, but inside, it remains inhuman. In the thriller The Thing, paranoia spreads like an epidemic among a group of researchers as they’re infected, one by one, by a mystery from another planet.

Paleontologist Kate Lloyd has traveled to the desolate region for the expedition of her lifetime. Joining a Norwegian scientific team that has stumbled across an extraterrestrial ship buried in the ice, she discovers an organism that seems to have died in the crash eons ago. But it has suddenly woken up. When a simple experiment frees the alien from its frozen prison, Kate must join the crew’s pilot, Sam Carter, to keep it from killing them off one at a time.”
The Thing serves as a prelude to John Carpenter’s classic 1982 film of the same name. Directed by Matthijs van Heijningen with the main characters of Kate Lloyd played by Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Sam Carter by Joel Edgerton.
The Thing is far too impatient and does not develop the alien life forms] as characters instead, it just runs around creating explosions, destruction and fire. There is too much of this in my opinion. The transformation of humans into aliens is grotesque and at times difficult to watch. Frankly, it left me feeling quite sick.
If you don’t like scientific fiction horror movies, like me, I would probably say not to watch the film.
