The Andromeda Strain....

[sirhrmechanic]

Such a great movie!

Now that is a pandemic worth worrying about.

Read the book about 8th grade.

Movie...High school maybe? Michael Crichton never disappoints.

The TV miniseries is worth the watch (IMHO) there are couple scene / plot holes, that you have to ignore. Basically watch it and dont over critique.

Didn’t know they remade it…

The ‘71 movie was so full of cool technology! Today, well, old hat. When I saw it in about 82 or so.. way out!!

TBH I didnt know there was a remake, I found it by accident a couple months ago. When I watched Out Break, and sight suggested similar movies .

FWIW I remember seeing the original in high school biology class , LOL

EDIT: I would say I would like to see a remake of Crichton's Westworld, and Coma, but HollyWood would fubar it.

Love some Michael Crichton.
I really need to gather his full collection at some point. Of the books I do own, Prey is my favorite. Nanotechnology/biotechnology gone awry.
Somewhat related sidenote; my wife walked down the aisle to the Jurassic Park movie theme song at our wedding.

Our friends still call her Dino-Bride, but it was a great choice and made me laugh when I finally connected the two.

I thought of that movie every time over the past 20+ years whenever I ever heard a patient who had a missed blood draw or IV (esp. my own mother) say: "See, I have no blood in my veins".

Prey was Ghey

Sphere was awesome, Timeline, Congo, all outstanding books made into absolutely shit movies. Airframe also excellent.

the first time i read timeline was in march of 98 when i had my first acl surgery. i think it took me a little over a day. i literally didn't put it down, only to sleep and eat. jurassic park and lost world were, as we all know were excellent as well. but timeline was very captivating to me. i used to be a huge history geek and the medieval time frame was my favorite to study.

Loved A/S, particularly the opening scene.....

Yup. Though I did like Prey. The book.

Movies were like Stephen King stuff. Some rocked (salems Lot, stand By Me, Christine) some totally sucked like Maximum Overdrive.

Jurassic park was a cool movie, but Totally missed the point of the book about how we aren’t going to control nature. State of Fear was also a book everyone should read about the hijacking of the environmental movement to promote communism.

Crichton got it dead nuts right!!

Go back a few more years and check out The last Man on Earth’64. Good flick. Same year as the Andromeda Strain try out the Omega Man. Good classic sci.

I always confuse "the Andromeda Strain" with "Lifeforce"
