#TheAndromedaStrain #MovieReaction #MichaelCrichton

We have NEVER seen Robert Wise’s The Andromeda Strain (1971)… until now!

Join us as we watch The Andromeda Strain for the very first time, talk about what we expected going in, and share our Andromeda Strain (1971) FIRST TIME reactions and review after finally experiencing one of the most influential science-fiction thrillers ever made.

Based on Michael Crichton’s best-selling novel, The Andromeda Strain blends hard science, paranoia, and procedural tension into a chilling what-if scenario about a deadly extraterrestrial organism. We dig into the film’s clinical tone, groundbreaking use of technology, and why it still feels eerily relevant today.

We’ll break down Robert Wise’s precise direction, the film’s innovative visual style, its place in early 1970s sci-fi, and how it helped define the “scientists under pressure” subgenre that followed.
