An unidentified contagion that causes its victims to die almost instantly crash lands in the back woods of the USA creating a race against time to contain its deadly effects. A 3 hour mini series produced by brothers Ridley and Tony Scott, The Andromeda Strain is based on a book ... read more
I can't begin to say all that is bad about this extremely long terribly boring mini-series. First off the script is terrible. Besides the script even the effects and the acting is wooden. This wouldn't be as bad if it weren't for the fact that you have to endure this for 4 HOURS!... read more
I haven't read the book or seen the original movie but I thought this was pretty enjoyable. Sure, it is unrealistic with giant plot holes (watching it twice and noticing all flaws must be horrible) but the story is interesting and mysterious which kept the tension up. Forgettable... read more
Not terrible for a TV adaptation a little rough here and there and wildly divergent from the book and earlier movie. A bit of a political statement about how little you can trust people in power and their foresight because their lust for power and greed blind them, why else are t... read more

Fairly decent for a TV movie. Probably two hours longer than it needed to be and a lot of unfinished/unexplained subplots. Even the actors seemed disintrested half the time. But some decent scifi stuff going on.

Not bad but it seemed to end abruptly. Perhaps the book did too (haven't read it) but I wanted to see more. I liked the twist on the quickly-evolving alien organism.
The film was okay, some of the acting fell short but it definitely makes me want to read the book which I'm sure is much better.
OMFG I have never seen so many insanely stereotypical characters together in one movie before. Story was maybe neat but I just couldn't get past the bland characters. Also the really dramatic climax was awful. I didn't even think about it like omg their gonna die. It wasn't s... read more
