    The Andromeda Strain

    I don't like the cliffhanger bullshit they pulled.

    To be expected with a mini-series adaptation, expect tomorrow to be filled to the brim with commercials every 5 minutes in the last hour.

    How many "episodes" are there? I just caught a glimpse of it and it seemed decent enough. Gonna watch the encore at 1AM.

    The first episode was good but the second one was terribly done imo. It was very confusing and seems they tried way to hard add drama

    They changed a lot of things from the book, and not for the better.

    I like the spin the put on it, all I need to do now is watch the original again. Pretty good for an A&E remake.

    I enjoyed the book a lot...haven't been able to get my hands on the original movie as of yet.

    And, now it seems I have to try to catch this A&E version, too...

    I think it was pretty good for a network production.

    It was a good production, the ending got kinda sloppy but overall id give the flick an 85/100.

    The coolest part was when the guy cut off his own head with a chainsaw...Why did he do that anyway? I tried to Wiki this for more information but it didn't say why it made some people crazy and others just keeled over.
