The THING in Blu Ray. ==================
~Introduction~ =========== This is john carpenters remake of the 1950's classic, but is actually very close to the original, "the thing from outer space", which was also taken from or at least greatly shaped by the novella "who goes there?" By john w Campbell jnr.
~The Movie~ =========== A research team in a desolate and isolated Antarctic research station find an alien creature which has been buried in the ice for an estimated 100,000 years. Needless to say when it accidentally defrosts all hell is let loose on the poor researchers. They now have to fight for their lives against a foe the like of which they can barely comprehend. The creature can turn into anything or anyone. It can split itself into many parts and is devilishly hard to kill. Paranoia sets in as the remaining people fail to tell friend from foe.
~Opinions~ ========== The incredible special effects really make this film stand out from the rest of its ilk. The combination of special effects expert Roy Arbogast and John Carpenters directing makes for a fantastically memorable film. The film is has a wonderful creeping atmosphere and the ending is really superb. When the mans chest opens up bites off the doctors hands and then the head detaches falls to the floor, grows legs and tries to run off it is really something to see and never to be forgotten.
Kurt Russell gives a superb performance, but then he always does.
~Blu Ray~ ========
~Video~ ======= The 2.39:1 image is sharp and well-defined, taken from a crisper master copy helps the clarity of the movie. The blacks are very deep and pack a punch! The quality is VERY worthy of being called Blu Ray.
~Audio~ ======== The Dolby True HD audio is TRULY AWESOME. The sound fills your room to overflowing with crisp low frequency and deep beats as it compliments the on going action in the film
~DVD features~ ============== There is a huge abundance of extras packed onto the disc, A commentary by john carpenter. An 80 minute documentary. The obligatory outtakes, (my favourite). Theatrical trailer. Movie stills, Some storyboards designs. Cast & filmmaker's notes. The film is also split into 37 chapters.
