Save the time and go grab the book, for a real SCIENCE thriller, instead of this mishmash of political cartoons and TV movie cliches. What a waste of opportunity, wasting the cast, sets and effects on such a poorly done rewrite script. There is the addition fo a smarmy alcoholic investigative reporter seeking redemtion, an evil businessman politician, a military conspiracy thats assasainating people, and all kinds of other CRAP that is not there in the book. And the lame attempts at being politically correct in language, gender, ethnicity and sexual orientation that crept into the script was a considerable distraction, further destroying this movie. ALL of that crap was simply NOT NEEDED! This was an utter disaster, and a complete let down compared to the book, and even the dated 1971 movie. I guess the script writer was such a talentless hackc that he could not build drama from the elements in the book , and had to at an unbelievable military conspiracy and assasains, pulling them unimaginatively straight out of the "evil military conspiracy", "evil capitalists" cliches of the far left in the 1960's. This was absolute GARBAGE. Andromeda deserved far better. WARNING: You will want those 4 hours of your life back.

I loved the book and the movie when I got around to watching it. Then I saw this. A&E failed with this remake. It made me cry to see such a perfect sci-fi book about a virus that didn't make everyone a zombie, massacred so terribly. The cast was great and make up for some of the atrocities that I felt were filler and terrible lines forced upon the actors/actresses. If this had seen theaters it would have been taken out after the opening weekend after it failed to deliver like the original film. I was excited.

Looks fantastic. Jack: yes, a movie was made in 1971, but this will be an updated remake w/ a stellar cast. I'm SO excited for this!!! Looks fantastic.
