The Thing R (2011)
Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Joel Edgerton, Ulrich Thomsen
Film Filter: On- When a group of researchers is called together to investigate a discovery in Antarctica, they are all excited and curious. Once there, they see that they have unearthed a foreign creature that had been frozen in an underground glacier. After testing a sample of the alien's flesh, it is revealed that its cells can imitate human cells, meaning it can replicate its prey. Unfortunately for the researchers this information is divulged after the fact, as the creature has already escaped. They must now work together to figure out a way to detect real humans from the alien imitator, before one of its hosts is able to escape into modern civilization to wreak havoc on the masses.
Things to note: Good cast, very interesting and well-used story, visually interesting special effects that are used to the appropriate degree, consistent information as the original film, great ending, no loose ends in story line.
