The Andromeda Strain 1971 original film trailer

[ChasingMelly]

Loved the movie. Anyone recommend some other old classics? (have watched westworld, future world, colossus - the forbin project) ?

[dab45de]

Awesome book!

[tehepicduck1234]

my dad LOVES THIS...I DO TO ITS EPIC SCREW THE REMAKE

[EmpireLS56KW]

2 people had their homes 712 LOL

[EmpireLS56KW]

This is my most watched film over STAR WARS! It plays in mono screen in the bedroom on the pc for nearly 14 hours each day. My cat enjoys the film as well. I’m mostly in screen 1 the larger home cinema while The Andromeda Strain entertains my cat.

Order a 712.

Hard on the taxpayers,|the way we burn up uniforms

@pmcfee1968 because stuff like that takes years even decades to do but they have less than a month.

[MrAwesomesauce101]

@pmcfee1968 The andromeda strains pacing is more of an opinion. You see they have a sense of urgency even if they don't show it because they have to figure out and cure a completely different form of life that's not like anything here on earth in many ways and they have to do it as soon as possible before it spreads world wide.

[MrAwesomesauce101]

@pmcfee1968 I never said blade runner had to much action in fact I love action I'm just saying it took forever till some action started and the action sequences took forever. Slow ass pacing is my only major complaint about blade runner dude.

[MrAwesomesauce101]

@pmcfee1968 sorry dude have you actually seen the film? Can't go wrong with a Robert Wise film. One of the greatest producers of our time and Michael Crichton one of the greatest sci fi writers who wrote Jurassic Park and other really good sci fi books that got turned into movies.

[pmcfee1968]

@MrAwesomesauce101 For the second time, yes. I have actually seen the film. Though it has taken multiple attempts as I usually wind up sleeping before it ends. But yes, I have actually seen the film. And i am not one for name-dropping, so I don't give a film credence, just because of the name of the producer. Some of the best movies I have seen have been from no-name producers. Some of the worst films I have seen have been by so-called geniuses. dude.

[MrAwesomesauce101]

@pmcfee1968 blade runner was all right but to fucking long and was very anti climatic and action scenes were too fucking long to the point were they were boring. Good story fucking slow ass pacing.

[pmcfee1968]

@MrAwesomesauce101 Now that is funny. You think The Andromeda Strain is awesome, but Bladerunner is too slow and has too much action. Hmm?

[MrAwesomesauce101]

@pmcfee1968 dude I don't think you understand that the infection is actually realistic. The book has references to NASA and private sector documents and the author graduated from Harvard med. The effects of the disease are also scary. This is the best disease film ever made because they show the effects and how scientifically possible the infection is. This was made during the space race imagine how scary it was back then.

[pmcfee1968]

@MrAwesomesauce101 Sounds like you are paraphrasing (poorly) from what you are reading on the web to back your argument to look more avant garde. I am using my opinion and what I think. I think it is slow and monotonous. My opinion is it is boring. dude.

[MrAwesomesauce101]

2 most noticable diffrences between book and movie 1. in book it's Piedmont, Arizona 2. the person with Epilepsy is a dude. 3. book explains more.

[MrAwesomesauce101]

@pmcfee1968 wow you never seen any good sci fi movies.

[pmcfee1968]

@MrAwesomesauce101 Bladerunner is what I consider a good sci-fi movie. This is fromage of the highest order.

[pmcfee1968]

Like watching paint dry or grass grow. Made in the same painfully drab tradition as 2001: A Space Snoozefest.

[MrAwesomesauce101]

@pmcfee1968 you've obviously never seen this film it's intense if you have a brain that can make things out.

[pmcfee1968]

@MrAwesomesauce101 I have a brain, it is not intense, it is boring. And the split screen technology, obviously brand new at the time, is so over-used it is pathetic. To each their own.

[MrAwesomesauce101]

Back when epidemic films were actually scary.

[adrianconoza]

This one's rated G......While Terminal Man is rated PG...Seems so scary from the trailer...

[MrAwesomesauce101]

I'm reading the book for class and I have to say Micheal did a good job at making a good disease story. Usually it's random, tons of people die, race before humanitys wiped out. But this, This actually makes you think about the disease and shows the affects of it making it actually scary. The ending is intense also.

[TheVerandaguy]

Wow, this film was really ahead of its time. 1971, but with 1980's music, and 1990's special effects!

[Punk93Metal]

I read the book. It was really good. I haven't seen the movie though.

[moonsault2506123]

been watching this for years,timeless.

[ThePhilosopherKing00]

damn they'll say ANYTHING to get you to go to the movie

[floaterjr]

o crap,!!! 100 minutes of picture!!!!

[kcolpaer]

Still suspenseful. Saw it just after the completion of my junior year in high school. Made me wonder about the wisdom of having touched the moon rock that came through my town on tour a year earlier.

[frtw4428]

This version is much more faithful to Crichton's book, hence better designed and far more suspenseful than the 2008 remake. That lab complex is still an awesome looking set!

[IMPYEMU]

Cool.

[hisoj]

remember when every movie was rated G?

[TheBookWorm1718]

@hisoj Jaws, PG, The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane, PG, The Towering Inferno, PG, Earthquake!, PG, yeah, it was good, of course that's before we had the PG-13 option but that was definitely when PG didn't mean talking down to the audience and treating them like idiots like they do today where PG means Daddy Daycare or Evan Almighty.

[andrewapplejacks]

great BOOK!!!

[wykikii]

seeing it in HD was amazing!! 

[VincentandCoBxl]

Saw it again a few days ago. Some technological aspects aged a little bit, but for a hard science sci-fi movie that was filmed 40 years ago, it was still damn good. So yes, probably one of the best of all.

[robcoke]

Good movie but damn, that trailer was Old School

[LifesHardLessons]

I love this movie. Michael Crichton was a great writer. I wish TCM would broadcast it so I could DVR it:-(

[sgtMaxCollin]

totally mind traumatizyng!!!

[12Zwolf]

; Thank you for posting. Plagiarized from H. P. Lovecraft's 'Colour Out of Space'.

Cheers!

[spankywalnuts]

Filmed north of Del rio Texas and the real thing happend in Coyame about 60 miles away

[rytmen]

if i only tryed gamboy this movie might have been thrilling, but i dont... so im sorry to say but this just looks gay!

[rbn190]

This was a great old movie. I remember it as a kid being scared to death to go to sleep after watching it...ohhhh ahhhh BOO!

[TVindustries5000]

great movie, the imagery and sets are awesome!

[CodeNameD1]

there is a 4-part mini series of Andromeda Strain. i watched 2 episodes alr

[pbanta62]

How was this movie rated "G" in 1971 when it would still probably grab a PG rating today for language and some pretty gross corpse scenes?

[shuhelali]

@pbanta62 PG didn't exist back then

[WoodstockHippie1969]

jimmyredproductions Rocks !!!

[pauleeslinky]

i saw the a&e remake. it was okay... but this looks good for an old movie

[5nerds20]

alguien me puede decir quien hizo la musica de esta pelicula gracias

[panzerkiller13]

I just started the book Monday... I remember seeing part of this movie when I was little, but the book feels like a REAL documentary! Now I'm gonna HAVE to watch the whole movie :)

[GhostCosmonaut]

the aircraft at 0:49 is an F-4 phantom, but the rear view of the cockpit, filmed in a studio, is not. however, one of the best and topical sci-fi movies: I was about 10 y.o. when I saw it for the first time, I was glued to the tv screen. david wayne was a very fine actor, his character is quiet perfect.

[ir6011]

THIS IS IT IVE FOUND IT

[thrashzone20]

es de la prehistoria xD

[valhala56]

When I saw it at the age of 8 I thought it was a documentry the way it was presented. Those days were like the Orson Welles Radio Show war of worlds where infantile minds were not accustomed to this sort of thing.

Cool movie, the remake was horrible.

[HiIeric117]

@valhala56 I remember hearing about the whole War of the Worlds thing. There must have been some pretty gullible people out there.

[valhala56]

@HiIeric117 1971, was very very different then now. It was like a whole different planet. Gullible yes, it was easier to mesermize people with primitive special effects. Look at movies from the era and you would probaly laugh.

[HiIeric117]

@valhala56 True.

[coshstudio]

Great film! I got this soundtrack on vinyl. It is one coolest item in my record collection. the record itself is Hexagon shaped.

[ronallen10000]

One of the best Sci-Fi movies ever. No doubt about it.
