    Much better than most sci fi movies.

    A group of explorers from Mcmurdo station go to outpost 31, only to discover the two dead bodies on ice of last survivors from the original movie, then the nightmare begins, the thing still lives and starts to take over their base, killing and assimilating all the crew, and it´s up to two guys to stop it.

    The "scientific" aspect is better than previous films, for me this sequel is great and equal to the first ''The thing'' it has more blood and gore, the story is fast paced, The CGI is not that great, but they used practical effects too. The alien scenes are scary, so I wouldn't complain about that.

    It exists as a worthy extension, not an insult to the memory of a cult classic. It offers a similar overall experience without replicating styles and situations.

    A must watch.

    I´ve watched it two times already, and it´s really good.

    Packed with suspicion, survival instincts, betrayal, fear, doubt and more.

    It consistently switched between action, mystery, horror, and discovery.

    Great scares, fulfilling characters, solid story, a developed plot, this movie is great.

    On a final note, this film has some great cinematography.

    The Thing Returns is a good film, you should watch it.

    Good sequel, to an incredible movie...

    This movie is scary, well directed, well acted and a very worthy sequel to the 1982 sci-fi horror classic.

    This movie is such a relief to see as anything with The Thing tag on it.

    It keeps the same tone and fear of the first film and makes up for the loss of what the first film left out, the mystery of the alien ship.

    The CGI, on the other hand, could have been better, but i don´t know if they had the money to do it.

    SEEMS LEGIT

    Just watch the trailer on this page if you want to see the level of quality you can expect with this movie.

    Every single one of these 9-10 reviews are shill accounts that made them all in the same week of May, 2021. And EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM has done nothing (or almost nothing) but reviews for the exact same handful of movies for this same trashy knockoff bootleg movie company.

    Don't be a sucker, people.

    The sequel we never had.

    This is sequel very well done, with lots of pratical effects trough, most people don´t realize that this is a fan film, because of all the people and budget putted into this, i saw an interview with the director on a you tube channel, were he explains, the love he has for the franchise.

    For me it was a pleasant surprise what i´ve got here, the rating of this movie, should be around 7, not 6.0.
