Review of The Andromeda Strain (1971) by Pauline Kael for The New Yorker — 02 Aug 1982
Despite all the drama of the situation (United States threatened with biological destruction from outer space, etc.) nothing very exciting goes on in The Andromeda Strain. Since nobody greatly feels or acts, we are left with the drama of people tensely sitting around in chairs, twisting dials and watching TV monitors.
From time to time, somebody gets up and paces the room.
