The film itself is very interesting and intense. The alien thing looks impressive, especially when you realize that it's not graphics. Unfortunately, the logic of the heroes is lame in some places.

Further spoilers
! ! !

The ending is illogical. Macready said that we should burn everything here so that this creature doesn't freeze, and in the end, when he met with Charles, he said that the test wouldn't change anything. Charles may well be an imitation, freeze, and everything will start over sooner or later. Why not take a test or, in the end, just burn each other, since you're going to die anyway?

@shrftdnw: Well, look on YouTube, who eventually became something, I won't spoiler here, but one of them was Something, and the other understood why. The director himself pointed to the correct ending with his shots, it was necessary to understand this, that's all. The film is brilliantly cool.

The son looked at it and said: Is it 1982? I don't believe it!
It looks modern even now.
In one bottle: fiction, horror, detective. Keeps the whole movie in suspense. Music also contributes to this.
Sometimes you want the film industry to forget about computer graphics, and, as in this film, make the same plausible special effects.

I don't know... I don't share everyone's delight.
I was amused by the fact that they burned almost the entire film all around in the rooms and immediately magically extinguished everything so that nothing around flared up 😁

I love it, it's full of holes. My little son, at the age of 5, saw a piece where spider legs grow out of his head and it crawls away. The child was impressed and asked about this head for a long time.
And recently I asked - what kind of movie was it, mom, where the SPIDER-HEAD was crawling))) this despite the fact that he is already 9.

While I was watching, I kept waiting for the coolest and most interesting thing to begin, for which this film was praised and recognized as a cult. I did not wait.))) There were some revivals of the plot, but mostly everything dragged on sluggishly, tediously and chaotically. By the end, the director was completely lost in time, space and the logic of what was happening.

I can't say that I really liked the movie, but it was definitely worth watching. The Thing itself looked great, especially for 1982. You look at it and it gets a little uncomfortable, the thing is really creepy. Well, in general, the story that the monster can take any organic form at all is very cool, you can easily create tension like that. But the main thing is not to build greatly inflated expectations about this film, because there is something to get to the bottom of if there is a desire.

@7utra: Is this a scientist or a biker? Or maybe a janitor or a biker? Or maybe a marijuana biker?
