A&E's remake of "The Andromeda Strain"
With Tony and Ridley Scott as co-producers, I thought this TV film had promise. Unfortunately, compared to the Michael Chrichton novel, and the 1971 film version (directed by Robert Wise of West Side Story, and The Sound of Music fame), this turkey has absolutely none of the sheer terror of the original story, nor none of the nail-biting suspense. Four hours of tedium, wrapped in tons of additional characters, subplots and "Military/Government-Establishment" hokum.
