The Andromeda Strain

I hadn’t seen this film in years and years, and yet I think it stands the test of time. For me one of the most significant things about it is it’s soundtrack which is quite unique and in some ways reminds me of the themes in ‘Planet of the Apes’.

Andromeda Strain is a great story although in some ways a very simple story, but executed in this film in a very slow and explanatory fashion which wouldn’t work in a film today, but I think is exactly what it needed to get the message out.

It makes sense although it is very technical at times and has almost no action at all.

It is still a great sci-fi film, of that there’s no doubt.
