You can tell right away that John Carpenter was a fan of the title card but didn't care for the "From Another World!" part of the title.

This seems much more lighthearted than the 80s version; the dialogue is very snappy, the people at the second base are all alive, and there are two more women than in the Carpenter version.

Naturally the Americans blew up the flying saucer.

"We already pulled one boner out there on the ice..." haha classic.

I feel like a lot of the problems in this movie could be resolved if the humans' first instinct was to shoot and/or blow everything up.

"An intellectual carrot. The mind boggles."

The Thing in this movie is very different, but still a scary concept in its own right. It reproduces asexually through seeds, using blood as a food source.

The fire stunt is impressive but it seems like it would be terrifying to film.

Given the sheer amount of military people on the base, I figured there would be more deaths, even if they were off-screen. (There were only two deaths; three if you count the Thing)
