Andromeda Strain... anything worse?

[me]

It seems the entire movie ("Andromeda Strain") was filmed in a laboratory, and all the characters did were toss numbers back and forth...
There was NO action, NO suspense- it was just nerds and numbers...

Which leads me to my question:
Is there any movie more boring than the "Andromeda Strain"?

[N. E. Moses]

Every kid-based movie (with exception to Home Alone)
Most Disney movies
Edward Scissorhands.

[N. E. Moses]

...and one more thing--any movie starring Pauley Shore

STAR BORES

[Lester1/2jr.]

pretty much every science fiction movie is just as bad

What do you have against Star Wars Steve ?  Lester1/2jr  not all science fiction movies are boring. But what do you expect young people go figure.

I like the Strain, and i think it may be a differance of method. I was yound when it first came out, and i got lost in comprehension at the time. I guess it was too subtle for my level of life experiance then. Now, i see the concept as one of the fun parts of the story. Its a "Science procedural", in that it show how human genius and imperfection cause and, inadvertanly, survive a problim of man's(partial) makeing. The screwups are part of the tension in the plot. Political decisions, medical methodology, and to me, the sence of wonder the science team express at this totaly new life form. And, i like the fact they did NOT waste time with a "Romantic Subplot". Who needs it? The race to prevent a space born plague is enough in my book! I'd say, give it a few years, and give it a chance later. Maby it could grow on you.

The science fiction plot.  If___ keeps happening then in the future we will all be like the Apes/robots/Zombies in this movie.

Sorry, Chris1, I would have replied earlier, but I fell asleep whilst watching some sci-fi flick. Only joking - you obviously like it.  Star Wars is derivitive and far too conventional for my taste.

Well, I liked it and I even saw it when I was a kid.  Michael Crichton's novel is a darn good read as well, he saw the whole virus scare about twenty or so years before it hit big (the novel was published in 1969, I believe, and the film adaptation came out in 1970).  There's a special edition DVD coming out sometime in the future.  That should prove interesting, at least for those of us who don't mind intelligent, character oriented, and fairly accurate science based movies.  

I really liked the part where Andromeda mutates yet again and dissolves the pilot when he flies through the hot zone and how the crying baby and elderly man survived their exposure to Andromeda for reasons so simple that they are overlooked entirely at first (this happens quite often in medical research and forensic investigation).

Damn, now I want to rent it again.  Just as long as it's letterboxed.

...and his reasons reminded me of why I hated westerns so much growing up.

"Smelly guys on horses shooting each other."

Then I saw Once Upon A Time in the West and it all changed for me.

Which proves agine, my dear Chadzilla, its all in the writeing. Okey, and the acting and filming...but it starts with the writing! How many movies/shows treat the audience as they had a modicum of education and intelligence?

[Lester1/2jr.]

"Gladiator" was good but it totally reminded me of John Wayne's oevre.  Smelliness is next to godliness for them.
