I don't know if anyone cares, but I thought I'd at least give a smallish review of this thing...

It's a prequel of the 1980s movie, which I guess is an okish thing, its very PC in this new world we live in so the lead is a woman. The men naturally are largely retarded as they fumble around and get killed. And oh by do they ever!

An interesting feature of "the thing" is that while its in a host it is very talkative, seemingly unaware of itself.. And it blurts out in the most inopertune ways. Go figure.

One spoiler is that the thing does infact know how to operate the space ship.. I never got how such a killing machine 'thing' is so... competent with tech. Then again in the 1980s it was building a ship..

Honestly the best part for me was the ending as it tied this movie to the 80s movie. At first I had thought this was a remake of it, although I missed all the norway stuff to realize that this is the '1st contact' if you will.

I'd give it 3 ***/***** ... it's ok but it's ... just so silly being so PC!
