Movie Reviews of The Andromeda Strain
Movie Review: A Classic for its Time
Summary: 5 Stars
It's easy to overlook a sci-fi movie made in th 70s. Today, they can easily appear hokey with special effects that are too far-fetched to be believable. That isn't true with this 1971 Andromeda Strain. They simply tell the story of something coming to earth that seems to be affecting humans and uses credible technology to investigate. Simple, clean sets and acting that keeps the characters "human". A Classic.Movie Review: Sci Fi at its Best
Summary: 5 Stars
Made in the 70's, this movie still has the suspense and good acting as it did when it was first released. Moreover, the film does a masterful job of staying close to the book. Indeed, having read the book, I feel I can make this statement with a clear conscience. Whether the newer made for TV version of the Michael Crichton book is better, I will leave for the younger reader to decideMovie Review: The Andromeda Strain (1971)-Excellent Sci-Fi Story
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw The Andromeda Strain back in 1971 when it first opened and feel it was an outstanding sci-fi movie of the early 70's. It featured an excellent plot, very good special effects, fine costumes and beautiful and elaborate sets (rivaling those of the Bond films). Most important was the excellent screen play and the very original concept by Michael Crichton.
Movie Review: Andromeda Strain
Summary: 5 Stars
Andromeda Strain is a benchmark for End of Days, all too possible sciFi. The possibility of virulent pandemic from an unknown source is well done in this fine old movie. Great entertainment for an evening at home. My second date with my wife was going to see Andromeda Strain in the theater, back in 1971. 36 years later, it is still a great movie !Movie Review: One premise overlooked in reviews
Summary: 5 Stars
I agree with many folks here that this is a great film with a gripping screenplay. One premise that is overlooked by those who mention that it is "dated" is that the story itself is set in the 1970s and what is called the "wildfire" event is hushed up - making the movie even more chilling and therefore always "up to date" for its time.
