DVD Savant Review: The Andromeda Strain The only really big tech-oriented Sci-fi movie to succeed in the immediate wake of Kubrick's 2001, Robert Wise's The Andromeda Strain thrilled audiences by flattering their intelligence. When people call The Andromeda Strain Crichton's best work, they must be referring to his ingenious use of real medical knowledge to lend the story an air of authenticity. The Andromeda organism is cleverly described as a life form based on an alien crystalline structure. www.dvdtalk.com /dvdsavant/s780strain.html   (2893 words)

Review of THE ANDROMEDA STRAIN, 1971 sci-fi classic. In-depth, thoughtful review, part of Caroline's Movie Revews: All-Time-Best Science Fiction Films. Original reviews of top-notch science fiction movies available on video. Her career highlights really began with ANDROMEDA STRAIN, after which she starred in EQUUS, with Richard Burton (1977), Louis Malle's ATLANTIC CITY (1980), and the televised film of DEATH OF A SALESMAN, as Linda Loman to Dustin Hoffman's Willy Loman and John Malkovich's Biff (1985). ANDROMEDA STRAIN's concept is simple: "A top-secret government team investigating rare diseases, some so bizarre they seem to come from outer space." It combines a classic science-fiction theme (disaster virus) with a contemporary distrust of political affairs. And like 2001, THE ANDROMEDA STRAIN is story-driven, featuring an ensemble cast, as opposed to star turns. www.sqn.com /andromst.html   (3712 words)

The Andromeda Strain The Andromeda Strain from the film of the same name (1972) is a germ that had all the makings of a major contender in the scourge of mankind sweepstakes. Yes, Andromeda looked all set for a sterling career of mayhem, but along came a team of government scientists who scooted it off to a super high-tech version of the lunar lab to study it. That's already impressive, but Andromeda upped the ante by mutating into a form that ate plastic and human flesh, and demonstrated a neat little trick of transforming matter to energy and vice versa like a teeny nuclear reactor. davidszondy.com /future/Dystopias/andromeda_strain.htm   (333 words)

The Andromeda Strain Not traditionally considered a horror film by most of its fans, I found The Andromeda Strain to be a creepy, near future look at something that very well could wipe out mankind. Based upon: novel- The Andromeda Strain - Michael Crichton Stephen King's The Stand, which would come a few year's later, drew upon the same basic problems to set up the world in which the novel takes place. www.xmission.com /~tyranist/horror/reviews/a/AndromedaStrain.html   (209 words)

Andromeda Strain, The Review (1971) Nelson Gidding stuck pretty closely to Michael Crichton's novel for this clinical science fiction thriller, with the emphasis on science, which turns into a race against time to stop the tiny space alien, named the Andromeda Strain, from spreading. With its cold, businesslike look and a nice line in irony, The Andromeda Strain will satisfy you if you're after an original twist on a familiar story. As Andromeda mutates, the scientists manage to endanger the lives of everyone in the complex, and an exciting sequence follows where Hall battles against a laser security system to prevent a huge explosion. thespinningimage.co.uk /cultfilms/displaycultfilm.asp?reviewid=572&...   (499 words)

The film (and Michael Crichton, in his later works) goes on to explore this theme more fully: science's claim to objectivity, belied by its actual manipulations, often with grave, or fatal, human consequences. Recent films such as "Outbreak," and "Twelve Monkeys," have tackled the subject; Richard Preston's book "The Hot Zone" chronicling the Ebola outbreak was a New York Times bestseller in 1995. sqn.com /andromst.html   (3712 words)

Disclosure (1994) Michael Crichton was at a peak in the 1970s with films such as The Andromeda Strain (1971), Westworld (1973), The Terminal Man (1974) and Coma (1978). Sexual aggression is about the only motivation she is ever given in the film and her actual motivations in regard to the thriller aspect are kept very murky, rather the film just sees her as all-embracingly evil and sees no need to write her any greater depth than that. But on the whole the film tightens the book extremely well, dropping many elements that aren't needed, such as the sensation-seeking tv journalist. www.moria.co.nz /sf/disclosure.htm   (1238 words)

deseretnews.com - Movie review: Outbreak Deseret Morning News Web edition It's a science-fiction genre that began in the silent era and whose most famous antecedents are probably 1971's "The Andromeda Strain" and "The Stand," last year's television miniseries based on Stephen King's novel. Yet, in some ways, the film that "Outbreak" most resembles is "Dr. Strangelove," especially with the character of McClintock, who bears a striking resemblance to that film's Gen. Jack D. Ripper (Sterling Hayden), the hawk who sends bombers to Russia. The film's success hinges largely on this race against time, though the plot does get a bit more complicated as the film progresses. deseretnews.com /movies/view/1,1257,1379,00.html   (694 words)

Sphere (1998) In the 1970s Crichton had a big hit with the film adaption of his novel The Andromeda Strain (1971) and further successes as a director with the likes of Westworld (1973), Coma (1978) and But after that point Crichton’s star began to wane - the film adaptation of his best-selling novel The Terminal Man (1974) was barely seen, and his other directorial efforts - Looker (1981), Runaway (1984) and After one of the team recklessly enters the sphere, they find themselves in contact with an alien entity and their habitat under attack by jellyfish and giant squids which appear to have been manifested from out of their worst fears. www.moria.co.nz /sf/sphere.htm   (1365 words)

Salon.com Arts & Entertainment "24": Split screen's big comeback Mysteriously, while video and film artists continued to use multiple projectors and monitors from that point on, in Hollywood, split screen went from cutting edge -- in movies like "Charley" and "The Andromeda Strain" -- to passé in about two minutes. The single-channel film is the visual art form of the gaze; multichannel is the art form of the glimpse. Figgis has already made a second multiscreen film, the as-yet-unreleased "Hotel." "24" has taken prime-time TV far beyond the convention of splitting the screen for a telephone conversation (a tradition that actually goes back to a 1913 silent film by pioneer Lois Weber). archive.salon.com /ent/tv/feature/2002/05/14/24_split/print.html   (2853 words)

village voice > film > Where Have All the Aliens Gone? by Justine Elias As creepy as The Andromeda Strain was, a deadly space germ is no more frightening than any of the devastating plagues—AIDS, Ebola, the Spanish flu—that originated here on Earth. The "Rare Earth" hypothesis, put forward by a paleontologist and an astronomer in a new book of the same name, holds that certain unusual factors on Earth—such as its distance from the Sun, the right mix of carbon and oxygen, and our relatively large moon—have made biodiversity possible. Even if the Rare Earth theory is true, it's not as though we are completely insulated from the rest of the universe. www.villagevoice.com /film/0007,elias,12549,20.html   (2853 words)

Editors Guild Magazine - Cover Story In the 1970s, he both produced and directed several large as well as small films—The Andromeda Strain (1971), The Hindenburg (1975) and Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979) representing the former, and Two People (1973) and Audrey Rose (1977) the latter. The arrangement of shots within scenes and the strict correspondence between sequences are of such symmetry and purpose that his films are veritable textbooks on the possibilities of film editing. By making the transition from editing to directing, Bob learned that working with live actors on the set was completely different from handling their filmed performances on the Moviola. www.editorsguild.com /v2/magazine/archives/1105/cover_story.htm   (2448 words)
