The movie still would have been shit regardless if they had included the practical effects.

This movie should have never existed.

Why is that? Like is there a narrative behind it? I don't know much about the production context of this movie, besides the effects being replaced

Rob Ager (aka the Kubrick Autist) did a pretty good analysis of why the CGI effects just didn't work, in particular he points out that the lighting is always really fucked up

Around 12 minutes in he shows that the CGI looks a lot better even if you just darken the picture slightly

I think the idea was that MEW was going to discover a dead alien pilot that crashed the ship in hopes of killing the Thing. Later she finds the Thing, taking on the appearance of the alien pilot.

Arya has never looked sexier.

How is he a "Kubrick Autist"?

>>87075385
eh it could have easily been a fun shlocky monster movie with a pretty good cast

And regardless of practical or CGI, the very existence of this movie is nothing but pure retardation.

>>87075414
Why did they switch to CGI when the animatronics were already so far along in production?

I unironically liked it.

So it wouldn't have lived up to the OG.

Just go watch John Carpenter's vision.

>>87077841
It wasn't supposed to live up to the OG, it was supposed to be a tribute to the 82 version.

>>87077638
Legend has it test audiences made up of mostly teenagers saw unfinished footage with the practical effects and thought it wasn't scary enough or something.
