Trying to be modern and realistic they committed overkill dragging everything out
The Andromeda Strain wanted to be a really modern and realistic sci-fi movie about a virus coming from out space. The problem was they overdid it. There are scenes where they go through the layout of the secret base the scientists are in. Then it goes through all the medical exams the scientists face, etc. It’s overkill and drags out the story tremendously on tangents which are not related to the main topic. This trend continues throughout the entire movie making it a real drag.

Here is a brief synopsis of the title : Directed with clinical precision by Academy Award winner Robert Wise, this compelling account of the earth's first biological crisis is perhaps the most chillingly realistic science fiction thriller ever made. After an errant satellite crashes to earth near a remote New Mexico village, the recovery team discovers that almost everyone in the town are victims of a horrible death, with the mysterious exception of an infant and an old homeless man. The survivors are brought to a state-of-the-art laboratory descending five stories beneath the ground where the puzzled scientists race against time to determine the nature of the deadly microbe before it wreaks worldwide havoc. A trailblazer in the areas of special effects and inventive sets, The Andromeda Strain is based on Michael Crichton's best-selling novel that created national paranoia for its topical relevance to the first moon landing..
