the andromeda strain be my all time favorite movie and the first time i saw it i be about fifteen and be awe . i actually think the movie be base on actual event . i have watch the original so many time and i can see it in my head from begin to end . i eventually buy the book and read it without put it down . there be a lot of difference between the movie and the book and but it wasn not deviate from too much to spoil either one . the original movie be suspenseful without be over do . dramatic enough without be sappy . i always believe the end could have be different and but it still leave you with the sense that it be far from over . i always imagine the andromeda strain be remade and but with actor i could recognize . from watch the trailer and i could see no familiar cast member that make me want to watch it . i do not watch the movie so i can not really vote on it fairly and and from read some of the comment and i probably would not be at a loss . so i will vote awful simply because i be afraid they have mess up a great book . thanks and but i think i will pass .
