This is quite a task to review an original and the two latter films, then compare the three against one another. I have never read the short story “Who Goes there?” by John W. Campbell Jr. from which these movies are based so I can really only take what others have said, being that the 1982 and 2011 versions are closer to the story than the 1951 version. It’s also interesting to note that the 1951 and 2011 movie are more like a prequel to the 1982 cause in both the earlier and latter film the alien spaceship is discovered while in the 1982 version it was found prior to the movie timeline. We also have the story told from different perspectives with the 1951 film showing the U.S. discovering the spacecraft, the 1982 version having the U.S. finding out that the Norwegians discovered the craft and finally in the 2011 movie shows the Norwegians discovering the spaceship. It should also be stated, that the 2011 is not a direct remake. So what is it then? We will find out in time.
Stay tuned-in at The Film Ferret for the reviews…
