Backseat Mafia
the story is a fiction, but a fiction told with one eye on a realistic style of filmmaking (let's call it 'pathogen procedural'), and the other eye on the contemporary realities of both space travel and the Cold War...

Rating: C+ --
Robert Wise's version of Chrihton's popular novel is a decent (but no more) film, with some good art design.

Nelson Gidding's adaptation of the Michael Crichton novel is too literal and talky.

Rating: 2.5/5 --
Though it's essentially the godfather of the outbreak disaster genre, The Andromeda Strain is a slow sci-fi procedural that hasn't aged well.

Rating: 4/10 --
Gidding's script prioritises the scientific process over any kind of drama or character, and the bulk of the movie which details this process can seriously plod.

Description by OLDIES.com:
Directed with clinical precision by Robert Wise, this record of the earth's first biological crisis is perhaps the most painstakingly authentic science-fiction thriller ever made.
When a satellite falls to earth near a remote New Mexico village, the recovery team finds everyone in the area dead, except for an infant and an old derelict. The survivors are brought to a five story underground lab - one of the most elaborate and intricate sets ever assembled in Hollywood - where scientists attempt to determine the nature of the deadly microbe before it starts a world-wide epidemic.
A trailblazer in the realm of science-fact, The Andromeda Strain is based on Michael Crichton's best-selling novel that created national paranoia for its topical relevance to the first moon landing.
