The Andromeda Strain


Based on the Michael Crichton novel, the 2008 two-part TV series The Andromeda Strain tells the story of a virus unlike anything ever seen unwittingly unleashed in Utah, and a team of scientists, military, and political personnel who race to stop it.  Can they?

I haven't read the book- which I suspect is excellent- but the TV adaptation is pretty good.  Production quality is good, and the story is suspenseful.  A weak, rushed ending with too many open ends and unexplained events detracts from an otherwise noteworthy effort. 

Rating: B
