Media Author Review
United States
The Hollywood Reporter
"Each part has edge-of-the-seat moments, thanks to some admirable performances as well as several intriguing new plot twists that inject surprise at key moments."
United States
USA Today
"'Andromeda' takes a great plot too far. (...) Unfortunately, the new plots continually intrude, dissipating tension and making an already complicated story too convoluted to follow. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)" 
United States
Philadelphia Inquirer
"For about three hours and 40 minutes, the mini-series rockets along, an exciting pile of preposterousness with conspiratorial overtones. Then it fizzles, with stuff you've seen 1,000 times before, and irritating loose ends."
United States
TV Guide
"This slick and often scary update presents a gripping medical mystery of scientific trial and error against a topical backdrop of bioterrorism, environmental activism and 24-style government conspiracy."
United States
Miami Herald
"A hacky remake of a mediocre 1971 film of a pulp-science 1969 novel"
United States
New York Magazine
"This mini-series actually improves on the original 1969 Michael Crichton sci-fi non-thriller, which spent too much time in a fab lab in the desert and not enough inside the icky green virus—or outside"
United States
Film School Rejects
"This updated version follows the same basic premise, with a lot of changes, pretty much all of them for the worse, in my opinion."
United States
Chicago Tribune
"This version of 'The Andromeda Strain' is paced well; it gives Crichton’s story a hint of blandness but it also marches through the plot with no-nonsense efficiency."
