  • i read the first 100 pages this kept you guessing i thought it was a zombie book

    IMAGINE a zombie book by michael cricthon AWESOME

  • this movie has ups and downs. the action was good for a movie that involved science. but the ending was strange... 4/5

  • Idiotic remakes of classic movies and tv shows are indicative of Hollywood's creative bankruptcy. It's just an easy way to make a quick buck off of someone else's previous imagination and daring. This overblown overlong remake has NONE of the tension and intelligence of the original. Just a bunch of PC cast (are we to believe these kids are years-long experts?) Throw in lots of conspiracy crap and phony human interest so the audience can "relate" and you got a typical made-for-cable movie.

  • Your remark about the cast being unbelievable is well taken. In the first movie, Stone was definitely middle aged, Hall was getting bald, Dutton was almost ready to retire. Dr. Leavitt was middle aged and rather dumpy looking. But you could BELIEVE these people were scientists and experts. In this movie we get a bunch of 20-30 something CSI eye-candy actors who are supposed to be Nobel prize winners? And the ridiculous "it came from the future" premise? Schenkkan has watched too much Star Trek!

  • RICKY SCHRODER is Amazing in the role.

  • The ending still leaves me thinking....

    I loved it.

    Great acting.

    Great story.

    Interesting subjects.

    LOTS of twists.

    And keeps you thinking a lot.

    I give it a 5/5.

    Just, such an intricate and complex story that it makes you wonder...

    ...WE NEED MORE MOVIES LIKE THIS!

  • I love andromeda strain its more interesting than scary and it gets you thinking al throughout the series. I think its great acting and iwould love to see more shows like this.

  • The soldiers in the move were wearing replica gear... I didn't believe it one bit. However, it was a good movie otherwise. :P

  • Trailer makes it look good, but I guess I have to see it to be sure.

  • id be scared if andromeda ever happended for real were i would live.

  • you'll never know...

  • horrible just horrible. bad writing and even worse acting. just like hollywood to fuck up a remake of a damn good original. how pc can you get? the doctors that save the world are male,female,white,black,hispan­ic,asian and gay. We have an evil military,"secret government agendas",objective journalism(like that exists. they mention the destruction of the rain forests,strip mining and man made(sure) global warming. a really crappy pc propaganda flick. if you enjoyed this you're an ignorant moron.

  • Congrats to the Scott team! This movie was better than the first one!

  • In my opinion, this was a great movie/mini-series.

  • What the fuck is wrong with you Lostfaith!

  • the old one is better and more realistc

    forgive my spelling

  • yes it did have a creater. us, in the future. we made and lost control of it but since we destroyed the only thing that could stop it we could not. so sending it back in time where we did have the thing to stop it. the only thing that could stop it they did not have. it may have looked alien but that is only because we dont no wat year in the future it was sent back. for all we no it wwas made 2-60 year in the future. we are creating new stuff every day whos is to say that we did not make this?!

  • at the end it showed a future space station in the end with the symbol of andromeda

  • in the move that is where he is from. but in reallity ur rite

  • wow really gives a shit what the hell you think. dont watch it if you dont like it. u just dont like it b/c you dont understand anything in the show.

  • Part 1 was great and part 2 was complete shit. They did everything they could to ruin this movie during part 2.

  • yeah it was! im so getting it for my birthday!

  • I watched this show last night...it was freakin awesome!

  • As an apocalyptic movie this one did ok. I stayed up late watching both parts.

    I watched 28 Weeks Later earlier in the day, I love the theme song and some parts of that movie, it has the gore effect few others of that genre have, even though it has its flaws.

  • High five! lol..

    i stayed up until 11pm just to hear them say

    "stay tuned tomorrow at 9/8 central for the exciting conclusion of the Andromeda Strain." so i was like BS!

  • Just saw two it sucked. The old movie much better. Everybody was trying to out act each other. Just updated with the new one with S_Affects.. Try the old movie much better...In that movie they all hated each other........

  • This was a retarded show in just about every way possible. The story was fairly unique until they gayed it up with the ending. Completely retarded.

  • Andromeda Strain(1971)>>>>>Andromeda Strain(2008

    I was looking forward to this updated version but it had none of the suspense and sense of impending doom that the original movie had. The music was generic, the story was all over the place(so many subplots it was difficult to follow), and with the exception of Andre Braugher the cast was extremely unimpressive.

  • Just finsihed watchin this an hour ago but the death of the chinese dude and the army guy was lame. And i dont know why general manchek was killed.

  • i dont know wat to think about this movie. it was a pretty good movie, but I felt the ***SPOILER*** deaths of the chinese guy and nurologist dude were kinda lame. the chinese guy didnt have to jump in, he could have just grabbed his hand. sure the origins of the virus kindakilled the coolness of the story but i found it awsome. i liked it alot, and i say it was worth staying in all day to watch.

  • but was really pissed about the ending.

  • for a movie made of tv it was really good.

  • I don't know about you guys, but I liked it... Ending was a bit corny, but I don't see it ending many other ways, I did like the final scene, where the Andromeda is inserted in containment, the predestination paradox is something that makes the movie own even more, I never saw the original move so I can't compare, but I did like this one. And yeah there were some complications with the spreading of Andromeda's logic, but they're easily ignored.

  • wtf @ the end.Did the Andromeda in that space station start this whole fuck movie?think about if that never happened. no lame movie

  • Fuckin lame ending lol and it got me pissed when they copied 29 weeks and day series when somthing went down and they put the music ... but over all its pretty good .. its an ok movie lol....im a big fan of movies like that .. but anyways the movie just finished so peace

  • The ending is laughable, dude falls into an open nuclear cooling chamber that happens to be in Wildfire core, probaly even a worse design then Chernobly and dies nessaciting thumb removal to shut off self destruct. Thumb takes a lovely slow motion throw up to Stone who looks like he needs to take a big shit. Wow, this was so tense I almost didn't fall asleep.

  • what about the slow motion decontamination shower scene? That was pretty cheesy too

  • Cheesy is the whole friggin movie..

  • Don't forget the thumb throw....I almost died laughing. I was half expecting the Chinese guy to yell,"Nice Catch!" as he slowly sank to his death.

  • LOL! I know, right. I found myself laughing at a lot of it. In fact, if it wasn't for Benjamin Bratt, i wouldn't have watched it all the way through

  • part 2 is kinda good so far...

  • luv this show and movie

  • I hope part 2 is better than 1 i made me fall asleep....

  • get ready for part 2 mates this shit is going down

  • The original movie was in 1971, from the looks of THAT ONE this one is much better.

  • the orignal movie is a lot better, in the current movie, a deadly virus is attacking earth and the people assigned to destory it, sit arround talking about one being gay, sexual attraction, relantionship, this is not a deep movie, reminds of cross between a stephen King movie and CSI Vegas. A disappointment especialy considering Ridley Scott.

  • I just saw the part 1 and its pretty good.

    and it leaves you with a gliff hanger. I cant wait for part 2

  • yah

  • Watched it last night part one was great cant wait to see part 2 tonight

  • some one tell me why the caled it a strain in the 1971 movie wen it is a cristol with no D.N.A wen (strain) refers to the D.N.A sequence some one tell me???

  • "Strain" in this context refers to a particular species of bacteria (e.g. strain of e coli bacteria). You are thinking of "strand".

  • ok thanks

  • Did anyone else notice in the beginning when he pointed out the constellation Cassiopeia (Andromeda's mother in Greek mythology)?

  • It is true it does not do michael crichtons book justice...but atleast they still made a pretty good movie out it, granted this is only after seeing part 1. I wouldnt mind seeing a truer version of the book made into the movie cause that was just more physcologically thrilling. It you want an example of a movie that was horrible and totally trashed, slashed and butchered the book it was based upon, look no further then "I AM LEGEND"...

  • You know I was going into this movie ready to be dissappointed but to my surprise I was shocked at how good it was....for a PG rated movie it was quite graphic, which it needed to be and they even threw in a few "shit" words..lol, the plot is rather plausible..but if you take it to heart there would be a revolution against our government this week. Acting was pretty good and am looking forward to the conclusion tonight.

  • i have it on tivo but i havnt watched it yet. was it worth watching or no? please comment back. thanks

  • sorry, all the "Evil" goverment stuff is a bit too much.

  • tooo mannny commercials ahhhhhhh!!

  • Not a bad remake really but why was the jet pilot's visor and jet disintergrating?

  • in the original version, the "bug" mutated to a form that ate plastics.

  • the virous mutates and started to eat plastic

  • in the first one it is a cristal os is it a virus in the second one

  • are you talking about the first one or the new one and in the new one is it a virus or a cristol in definichion

  • It's hard to belivie in the almost 40 years between the original movie and this remake that the original was far superior. i was highly disappointed with this "Dumbed down" version. Especially with Ridley Scott on board.

  • That movie was freakin sweet ! I cant wait to see the ending ! I hate it ! I will have anxiety all night ! Thank god for xanax!

  • i heard the disease what was a fatal rapid blood clotting?

  • Your opinion Beondapale.Its true, this incarnation of The Andromeda Strain deviated from the original plot but still an enjoyable movie.They also preserved that "Science gone too far" concept when Sai described the incident in China, probably a nod to Crighton's original. I think its nice that they changed it a bit from the 1971 film,it keeps things from getting stale.

    And aliens aren't invading.If the researchers were speculating anything,its that Andromeda is a bio weapon of alien origin lol.

  • good point

  • i dident plan on watching it but im glad i did,part 2 looked good on the preview

  • So far the movie is ok... I like sci-fi crap but the movie isn't anything special. Still I wanna see the ending.

  • I liked it, but was also disappointed

    An alien invasion through a worm hole??

    ...C'mon

    They altered the plot too much. Like most of Crichton's work The Andromeda Strain was a statement on MANKIND approaching science foolishly, not some tired alien invasion plot that we've all seen a dozen times before.

  • freaking awsome cant wait for part 2!

  • Great movie, i'm looking forward to the next part

  • I just watched it, it was fuckin badass!!

  • Sick i have to read this and write a report on this for school

    this makes it easier

  • This movie really didn't live up to the book or original movie (so far, not likely that it will, at least to me). It hardly follows the actual story of what really happens and seems to just have in common with the originals that its an alien virus with scientists researching it. Everything else seems so...warped o_O

  • I think it is great so far. I would like to read the original source material. If you think it doesn't live up to it, it must be good!

  • it's much more believable and realistic yet still interesting ^_^

  • wow..i can just tell from the trailer that they butchered the book. damn why must they do these things to micheal chrichtons books, sphere, jurrasic park, now andromeda strain. please no more

  • Looks like it might be pretty good, I think it starts in an hour. I'd like to see Al gore come out at the end and say, "I had nothing to do with this movie, so it could actually come true"

  • Crap, I was gonna watch it but I forgot. Hopefully I can catch a rerun.

  • great movie watching it now

  • well if we don't wake up. it'll be us. NWO...

  • No fair. They didn't credit the man behind the plot, Michael Crichton. They credited him in Sphere, Congo, Jurassic Park, and The Lost World. Why not in this? Are they so cheap that they can't put in the name of one of America's greatest authors?

  • it says under the info of the program about Michael Crichton. Crichton is my fav author and i hope its good

  • it didn't metion his name in the trailer, though

  • soo what is this a new tv show based on that new m night shyamalan's

  • it is based on a good move frum 1971

  • no no no, its on the book by Michael Crichton, the best author in few generations.

  • what channel?

  • whatever happened to the book by Michael Crichton?

  • it has no D.N.A so why is it considerd a strane some one explane this to me.

  • zmandt1993,

    You need to look up the biochemistry/genetics of viruses.

  • but in the first movie it is a cristol, but i havent sean the new one i was refering to the first move ware it is a cristol that has NO D.N.A so why is it caled a strane when the word (strane)refers to:the sequence of its D.N.A. so if it has no D.N.A why is it caled a strane  plus im practly a bioligest.

  • zmandt1993,

    Clearly you're not "practly a bioligest" [sic] because not only do you not underestand what 'strain' means, you do not know how to spell 'strain', 'crystal' or even 'biologist' (I'll omit discussion of your other spelling, grammatical, and syntax errors.).

    Look it all up!

  • ha ha  yep

  • do you know what strain refers to

  • Everything organic on earth has D.N.A. for plants to people we all have it its our building blocks of like it tells us how we are going to look and how we act, anything without D.N.A. is impossable for it has nothing , its a blank screen, with out D.N.A. the scients will not be able to understand what is it made out of.

  • But in the move it is a cristalin structur and has no D.N.A so why did they call it a strane?

  • i was talking about the 1971 movie when it is a cristal

  • Im watching this right now and some woman just set herself on fire.

  • Well I'm so recording it now.

  • Poor Michael Crichton. He's not even credited in the least in the commercial.

  • your so right i feal sorey for him

  • I've seen this movie before, it just had a different name.

  • what we are dealing with is asshole directors and screen writers who have no ability to come up with anything new and original What Bullshit...How about Originality this movie was better in the sixties...How about giant Hammer indestrutable that samashes everything all over th world BAM BAM ..

  • you know what i got to say to this? viva la viagra! viva la viagra! viagra proud sponsor of the movie andromeda strain.

  • If it enduces death in within minutes heck , why am I wearing proctective gear?

  • This is a Mini-series based on a book. There is already a movie based on the same book but it is 2 hours and old(badly acted and no effects). Read the book it is better

  • Wtf..why'd the guy cutt his head off?

  • It was my ex wifes cooking that did this.... ;)

  • LMFAO! oh... oh geez... holy crap. XD oh dude that's a good one. I clap to you. Woo that made my day.

  • This is a remake of a movie based on a book that came out in like the 70's dude i can't believe they made this.

  • in the first one they say that it has no D.N.A then how come it is considerd a strane when the werd (strane): refers to the D.N.A sequence

  • It's strain, not strane.

  • im speling impared!?

  • Yes, you are.

  • Actually, it is a GREAT day to be human.

  • if it is a constantly mutating pathigen that atacks every thing then how come it it dosent feed of of eny organic compound it comes in contact with (i would like it if you comment on my comment) ...!

  • good movie ive seen this weeks ago

  • What?

    "The four-hour original A&E television event will premiere in High Definition on Monday, May 26 from 9-11 PM ET/PT and Tuesday, May 27 from 9-11 PM ET/PT."

  • iono on my iotv its on 46.

  • On Direct TV it's channel 265. It's on A&E Network. Look it up online instead of looking here

  • This was a great book!

  • andromida is straining give her some exlax anddestin for d butt hole

  • That is got to be one of the most annoying trailer, my eyes hurts now.

  • i think that the original is still better. and christa miller is not very attractive in this film. she looks way older than on scrubs.

  • My mom is so psyched about seeing this movie. Since today is Memorial Day, my mom is getting everything ready for this movie. Popcorn, pop, etc.

  • It looks intriguing and I'll tune in, but here's my concern.

    If anyone out there has watched the Antichrist Dajjal segments here on utube then you know that all these movies are conditioning us for a future event. In that way it's scary.

  • it's not a bit crazy...email me or add me or whatever...there's a lot of crazy stuff i've found out in the last couple months..some of which is probably true

  • One of the best medical thriller novels EVER -- Gotta watch it!

  • I am so seeing this tonight. I would not miss this for the world. It looks so sick. I mean, I know it's a remake, but it looks too awesome to pass up. I can't wait to see it.

  • looks good

  • that shit look live ma nigga!!!!!!!

  • PISSS PISSS out my ASSS!!!

  • does anyone else find the constant blacking in out of images reallllllly annoying?

  • Yes.  It was intentional to program subliminal messages into viewers mind.

  • This is another sick Hollywood strategy to print negative impression into the public minds that Andromeda (or anything) coming from space are Evil, even when they are benevolent beings trying to help us.  More mind control crap.

  • what about the borg..??...

  • Wow, Eric actually got some work after Will and Grace...

  • To the DVR machine!!!

  • this remake was almost good

  • Hmm.....they really should have made it one continuous movie, it's really very annoying to try to watch it two days at the same time.

  • This doesn't seem like it should be on A&E at all.

  • will watch

  • *I know a way to make

    *your channel views go

    *up by 10x as much as

    *it is now so just go

  • Hmm, Think im gonna watch this!

  • (•.¸♥¸.•´)¸.•´ ♥«´¨•°•´¨»♥ .¸.• (¸.•´♥•.¸)!!!•.¸ (•.¸♥¸.•´)¸.•´ ♥«´¨•°•´¨»♥ .¸.• (¸.•´♥•.¸)AWESOME Job on the video.I loved it..

  • Obviously not as good as the novel but it looks worth watching

  • looks cheesy

  • and I say cheese makes everything look and taste better. This is going to be a tasty treat to watch.

  • looks more exciting than the book, more action

  • Hopefully it's nothing like the book. It was about as anticlimactic as it gets.

  • Surprisingly, this looks entertaining.

  • wasn't this a book written by michael crichton?

  • yeah, hes a good author

  • This is a nice family-friendly movie!!!

  • Arg the editing... hurts my eyes
