CGiii Comment

A wholly unnecessary and undeserving re-make.

The writing is cringingly bad - written strictly for the severely unintelligent.

The writing sits comfortably with the acting...wooden and totally unconvincing. It's difficult to take McCormack seriously...Schroder should seek an acting tutor immediately.

Salomon - a director of no notable talent - delivers yet an other shabby televisual, updated re-hash with the added modern component...a gay character...!

In "The Andromeda Strain," a U.S. military satellite crashes in a small town and unleashes a deadly plague killing all but two survivors.
