- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Each part has edge-of-the-seat moments, thanks to some admirable performances as well as several intriguing new plot twists that inject surprise at key moments."
-
"For about three hours and 40 minutes, the mini-series rockets along, an exciting pile of preposterousness with conspiratorial overtones. Then it fizzles, with stuff you've seen 1,000 times before, and irritating loose ends."
-
"This slick and often scary update presents a gripping medical mystery of scientific trial and error against a topical backdrop of bioterrorism, environmental activism and 24-style government conspiracy."
-
"A hacky remake of a mediocre 1971 film of a pulp-science 1969 novel"
-
"This mini-series actually improves on the original 1969 Michael Crichton sci-fi non-thriller, which spent too much time in a fab lab in the desert and not enough inside the icky green virus—or outside"
-
"This updated version follows the same basic premise, with a lot of changes, pretty much all of them for the worse, in my opinion."
-
"This version of 'The Andromeda Strain' is paced well; it gives Crichton’s story a hint of blandness but it also marches through the plot with no-nonsense efficiency."
