Review of The Andromeda Strain (1971) by Whit W — 30 Dec 2010
Terrific hard science fiction picture written by Michael Crichton and directed by Robert Wise. The story is very intriguing and totally engaging as a group of scientists try to identify an outer space virus which annihilated a small desert town.
There is almost no action to be found but the urgency is relayed by the potential devastation close at hand. Some fine performances, great early '70s special effects and attractive sets make this a well spent two hours.
The amazing and strange electronic score is by Gil Melle. This is one of my favorite movies.
