DVD Synopsis
Adapted from the best-selling novel by author Michael Crichton, director Mikael Salomon's made for television mini-series follows a group of specialized scientists as they race to cure a fast-spreading plague. A U.S. military satellite has crashed near a small Utah town, unleashing a deadly pathogen. Everyone who's come into contact with the virus has died, except for two survivors. Could something in the blood of these two survivors prove the key to immunizing the rest of mankind and preventing a devastating outbreak? Now, as a lone reporter begins investigating what he believes to be a vast government conspiracy, the military quarantines the area and a specialized team of scientists race to find a cure for the pathogen they have given the code name, "Andromeda." ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

It is a good movie, although I read the book first, and the newer movie doesn't stay true to the book. I could have done without a few of the gorier parts, but that's just me. I love a good disaster movie!

Excellent remake of the original version. It has more updated situations and more realistic atmosphere. Of course, the book is always the best of all but this movie makes a good approach.
