The overall message of The Thing emerges as distinctly hawkish. Reactionary or not, though, it's still a masterpiece.

Even though the thing doesn't begin to make its presence felt till near the halfway point... the simple act of watching men discuss strategy ends up being terrifically absorbing.

A solid, workmanlike film that holds up better than one would expect.

Lively science fiction film, with dubious politics.
