A 1971 little diamond.
The narration is definitely too slow in the first hour (especially for a 2019 viewer) and the end sequences are represented too fast, but its content makes "Andromeda" is a very good movie.
It's the right way to show how science steps forward, its necessary failures and the to create the right conditions to succede.

Nice!

Warning: This is a slow burn. There's no real character development so if you want a soap opera with people fighting with each other about past misadventures or love triangles, this isn't for you. It's a film about something that kills most of the members of a small town and the pursuit of what that thing is. There's not a lot of action but the urgency is found in the struggle to find a "cure" that will fend off the potential devastation of life on Earth.

There's lots of early '70s tech and half a century-old hard science. If that's of no interest to you, don't watch this. It's certainly not without its flaws, but the fine performances and great early '70s special effects and attractive sets make this a well spent two hours. The strange electronic score by Gil Melle is incredibly original.


This is based on a book written by Michael Crichton (writer of Jurassic Park) and is directed by Robert Wise (The Haunting, Star Trek: The Motion Picture).

Slow and detailed look at the study of life. The movie itself is engaging, but far too much of it is extremely sluggish and just talkative around scenes.

A fascinating concept, that can be explored in an interesting story. But the movie ends up being to drawn out, talky and dull. Sure it's kind of interesting seeing the scientific process (of the day) trying to break down and analyse this problem, but at least make it engaging...

I enjoyed the book more, but the movie is still good nevertheless.

Was interesting but after 1 hour they let a rat and a monkey suffocate from CO2. A horrible scene that will haunt me for quite a while. I just ended the movie after that scene and rather read the book. Animal cruelty is a real dealbraker for me!

Fantastic movie, It was poorly (IMHO) remade years later. This one is obviously dated, but plays well even now.

Ran into this film on accident as it happened to be on TV while flipping channels, very pleasantly surprised. It's well worth a watch if you're into doomsday scenario movies.
