“In 1982, the Norwegian Dr. Sander Halvorson (Ulrich Thomsen) invites the paleontologist Kate Lloyd (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) to join his team in his research in the Artic. On the arrival, she learns that they have discovered a spacecraft deep below in the ice. They find a frozen alien life form nearby and they bring to their facility for research. Out of the blue, the alien revives and attack the scientists, contaminating them and assuming the shape of his victim. Kate finds means to identify the creature, but maybe it is too late to save the team members. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIn 1982, the master John Carpenter remade the 1951 u0026quot;The Thing from Another Worldu0026quot; ans his movie has become a masterpiece. The story of a shape-shifting alien that can assume any human form is tense, supported by a claustrophobic and depressing scenario, paranoid characters with Kurt Russell in the top of his successful career, haunting music score by Ennio Morricone and John Carpenteru0026#39;s top-notch direction. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis remake disguised in prequel is not totally bad, but follows the format of the present Hollywood movies, supported by special effects but without the atmosphere and the psychological horror of the 1982 movie. My vote is six.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eTitle (Brazil): u0026quot;O Enigma do Outro Mundou0026quot; (u0026quot;The Enigma of Another Worldu0026quot;)”
