TV Reviews: Robert Wise's 1971 adaptation of "The Andromeda Strain" remains a small science-fiction gem, so this two-night formulation -- slightly bloated, mildly entertaining and painfully shot full of adrenalin -- is better suited to those who never saw the first. Tapping into 21st-century...

'Andromeda' takes a great plot too far

When will TV learn that addition isn't always a plus? And the network certainly turned to a worthy source: Michael Crichton's first blockbuster, The Andromeda Strain, the book that helped launch the sci-fi/techno-thriller genre.
