Titan A.E. has been reevaluated to an extent, with some seeing it as an overlooked masterpiece. While there is a lot to admire about it, the film’s tumultuous production shows itself on screen, and the story and characters leave something to be desired.
To view The Thing is to invite yourself into its cold, bleak, and nihilistic world. This is by design, and is what makes The Thing truly special.
For a long time, the film was mostly forgotten, and called a disaster when it wasn’t. For many who view the movie today, the question remains: is it really that bad? Did it deserve to be forgotten?
You can’t make something a cinematic universe right out of the gate. You have to give audiences a reason to care. There is little reason here.
