Things, The

Loved this edit! It's hard for me to give a perfect score across the board, but it was even harder for me to find anything to criticize.

I was blown away by how much more I enjoyed T11 watching through this version. There are a couple of scenes that come to mind when I think of the bad CGI in T11 (the helicopter face split and the end spaceship escape), and they were both removed in a way that made sense and flowed as if they had never existed. This made the rest of the T11 CGI feel way more fitting than it ever has. Not sure if there was more done to them than simply cutting the excess, but it turned out great!

The pacing of the two movies blended together felt natural and interesting. Great job, Wraith! If there was one thing I would criticize, it would be the cover art. But that's personal taste, and I couldn't dock points for that! Honestly, very impressed with this edit. Outstanding.

I watched Version 3.

(I watched the newer HD version) Words can't give justice to my enjoyment of this edit! The pacing, rescores, and the trimmed CGI helped blend these two movies. The feeling of dread didn't let up even though the stories bounced back and forth. It also got rid of my least favorite shots/scenes from T11: the face splitting open and the spaceship finale with the terrible CGI face on the Thing. Only problem were some audio pops during transitions. It wasn't bad enough to take me out of it though. Thank you Wraith for making this and for the speedy responses!

Overall this edit was well executed. (I watched the Version 2 which fixed a couple technical errors.) It’s obvious that Wraith put a lot of thought and effort into it, but for me it was hard to get through. Putting the stories side by side slowed down the pace so much that it wasn’t too entertaining after a while.

Fanediting rating (based on the technical aspects). 9/10
Movie rating (based on entertainment and story). 6/10
Overall rating of 7ish/10.
