Yay! Another The Thing secret. :) The original is one of my absolute favorite movies, too. (Was the secret from 2 days ago with Fuchs also yours?) While I didn't absolutely hate it, I was seriously disappointed in the prequel. They could've done it so much better. But I agree with you that at least it didn't ruin the original.

There were occasional aspects that I liked, especially the detail they put into recreating the Nordic outpost, and the nods to the original, but I wanted so much more from it.

I especially wish they'd stuck with doing the effects practically. iirc, they intended them to be practical and filmed them that way, but they got overlaid by digital in post-production.

And I completely agree about the dog (mentioned in a previous comment). Why couldn't they have at least gotten a dog that looked right?!

Yes, the Fuchs secret was me. :)

That is my understanding about the effects - while IMO there still would have been a lot of problems with the film story and character-wise, the practical effects I saw looked great, definitely better than the CGI effects they did went with.

Awesome! :D

Yes, exactly. I agree with this 100%. I might have even forgiven some of the plot and character issues (some... not a lot) if they'd gone with practical effects. It would've felt so much more 'true' to the franchise.
