Thing [Blu-ray]

4K UHD 輸入盤のレビューです。やっと購入出来ました。中々Amazonで見つからずに困っていましたが、何とか発見し、即注文。入荷待ちでしたが、割と早く送られてきました。購入価格は￥2,924 ('21.09.27) でした。 日本語字幕はありませんが、LDからBlu-rayと観続けていますので、左程問題ではありません。さて、画質ですが、流石 4K UHD 大変クリアです！　ノルウェー基地から持ち帰った「物体」と犬が変異した「物体」の解剖シーンではこの「物体」が非常にクリアに観れます。クリアになっても造り物っぽくなく、逆に生々しく感じます。ロブ・ボーティンの SFX 見事です‼ 購入する事が出来て幸せです。

1982年の映画でこれで3回目。このエイリアンは生物に同化・擬態化できる。人間に疑似化していくプロセスの描写が弱くちょっとご都合主義的ではあるが、まあ許せる範囲。どいつがエイリアンなのか人間たちで疑心暗鬼になりパニックになるさまは見ごたえあり。もう40年以上前の作品だが当時の特撮にしては見れないことなし。南極や夜のリアリティー、そして爆破シーンなど迫力あり。当時としてはSF映画の金字塔でしょう。

Cuando lo puse por primera vez comenzó a brincar y a pausarse, pero no es problema del disco, hice ajustes en el reproductor y quedó perfercto. Gran filme, de lo mejor de Carpenter

This review is for the BluRay/4K UHD released 2021. Positives...A truly excellent picture, accompanied by amazing sound, and a minmalist score from Moricone. Good subtitles. Extras not seen by me. The film will remain a classic in the horror genre (especially when seen for the first time), and maybe that was my personal problem on a 4th or 5th viewing. I couldn't help but think Carpenter and his team were only thinking of the next incarnation of "The Thing" and how to make it even more "icky". Yet Bottin's effects are wonderful, and the actors all good (if only young Russell hadn't been given that silly hat). Full of tension and of course - shocks., this bears up well compared to recent similar type films. No negatives...A must see for lovers of cinema and I presume this is the best looking and sounding version??

I mainly bought this to show a friend how much more terrifying you could get when using practical special effects, compared to modern CGi. It was what our teachers in art classes used as an argument, and it proved its worth once again.Maybe this movie has not a great and complex plot, maybe its music is more subtle than it could, and maybe it has inspired an X-File episode... But Damn, at least it doesn't take you by the hand to call you names, and it certainly delivers on showing something that is barely physically making sense while keeping it real!And by keeping everything from the characther's point of view, it manages to create suspense and explanations that will draw you in until you're hooked on the edge of your seat.In fact, while it's been my third watch, I still am amazed that this movie manages to get forgotten and stay this surprising each time. Maybe it's the perfectly balanced play of the actors, maybe it is the absence of any faults... Or is it the attention to details and the so obvious love of Carpenter for his Thing?Or maybe, just maybe, this is what a true Lovecraft-y movie should feel like.(Not that it's related to the mythos per say, but it certainly does relate graphically.)

Bom filme! Ótima imagem em 4k.

Oubliez le prequel/reboot et jetez vous sur ce monstre du film fantastique/horreur qu'est The thing, paranoïa et effets gores mais surtout et toujours John Carpenter épaulé par kurt russell
