Just looked it up. It was a book that was made into a tv movie in the 70's. Figures, another damn remake. Are there really no original ideas any more? hmmm

"The Strain Andromeda (1992)
Experimental movie in which the director takes the 1971 movie The Andromeda Strain and runs it backwards, shot by shot.
User Comments: It should be seen!"

this thing sucks...horibly unnecessary extra sh*t added for no reason whats so over..why oh why isn't there anything else on?

i'd rather watch crappy big brother over this...

if you actually think this craptastic miniseries is good please rent the original film, watch it and then make a formal apology to the org and the world.

I watched it, and I like it for the most part. I've never read the book and really don't feel compelled to since the book is based on 70s technology and the miniseries is basing it on today's techno.

As a side note, Flav is now engaged to his last baby's mama, so no Flavor of Love 4 woot! sad for the breast implant surgeons, though.

Back to Andromeda, I'm watching Part 2 tonight since I'm curious on how they plan on killing this thing, seems hopeless since nuking it only makes it strong.

The best part last night was the guy that beheaded himself. It was flawless.

I have a huge crush on Rickey Schroder.....I'm only sayin.....

I love the diversity of the cast. I love the jabs at the government AND yes, I love that Ricky Schroeder's character is gay. Woo hoo!!!!

Part 2 dead


It fizzled for me. What was the point of the Andromeda virus-y thing, it kills everybody and then what. In "The Stand" there was a point to the whole rapid virus thing. Even in "28 Days" the virus didn't immediately kill its host. That was weird. It could mutate enough to take on a whole plane, building, whatever but at the same time it stayed contained in a glass vile? confuse
And that whole down to the last second scene, just ticked me off. Could that have been any more over dramatic?

Well, they did try to be diverse that's something. Made the whole military look like a bunch of bad guys and at this date and time that turns me off.
