Oscar®-voittajan Robert Wisen kliinisellä tarkkuudella ohjaama Andromeda uhkaa on vakuuttava kuvaus maapallon ensimmäisestä biologisesta kriisistä. Kun harhateille joutunut satelliitti törmää maahan lähellä syrjäistä kylää New Mexicossa, pelastustiimi saa selville, että kaikki kaupunkilaiset ovat joutuneet hirvittävän kuoleman uhreiksi lapsen ja vanhan kodittoman miehen salaperäistä poikkeusta lukuun ottamatta. Eloonjääneet tuodaan huippumoderniin maanalaiseen laboratorioon, jossa hämmentyneet tutkijat kamppailevat aikaa vastaan selvittääkseen tappavan, toiselta planeetalta olevan viruksen luonteen, ennen kuin se kylvää maailmanlaajuista tuhoa. (Universal Sony Pictures HE Fin.)

Very good sci-fi that manages to feel epic, but at the same time modest and even intimate. It is also given by the fact that it focuses on a disease that most likely came from space. Why didn't it kill one baby? And why didn't it kill one old man? A very well-executed film where you yourself feel like you could get infected. And most importantly, you don't know what the consequences will be.

I've read the novel and it's very good and engaging. For the most part, the filmic adaptation is merely a faithful transcript which, unfortunately, doesn’t have much in store for those who have read the original. The non-readers, though, will appreciate the undeniably palpable tension.

Robert Wise tried to take a "serious" approach to the material and created a sobering spectacle of what a deadly epidemic of the future could look like. He relied on contemporary scientific theories, and his greatest desire was clearly the believability and rationality of the story. He consciously abandoned the usual genre clichés, which is commendable, but in the end, a somewhat sterile spectacle was created, suffering to some extent from excessive length, exaggerated emphasis on dialogues, and that it is overall static. It's worth a decent three stars, but it's not a film that I would feel any desire to revisit. Overall impression: 60%.

With no unnecessary special effects, just impressive scenery with a minimum of actors, this film amounts to a solidly suspenseful game played for time with an unknown toxin. It has a clever theme, an intelligent script, and a few atmospherically packed moments, and the only thing keeping the film below the highest standard is ultimately tiresome runtime.
