Review of: The Andromeda Strain miniseries, 2008

4/5 (minimum 1)

by hockeyshooter on 28 May 2008

The Scott brothers (Tony and Ridley) were joint producers on this re-take of the classic science fiction movie The Andromeda Strain which itself is based on a book by Michael Crighton. This two-parter, originally shown on A&E in the USA is well produced, and quite gripping, but I'm afraid the reasons, explanations and conspiracy get rather carried away in the second part.

If you don't like this 2008 remake, don't let it put you off seeking out the fabulous 1971 Robert Wise original, which was years ahead of its time.
