Win an Andromeda Strain Prize Pack
May 16, 2008 by Cynthia
Memorial Day may be a bad day to be a human for Benjamin Bratt, Eric McCormack and Daniel Dae Kim, but for SFUniverse readers, it’s a great day! That’s when we’ll be giving away two Andromeda Strain prize packs from A&E.
In The Andromeda Strain, a U.S. military satellite crashes in a small town and unleashes a deadly plague killing all but two survivors. As the military quarantines the area, a team of highly specialized scientists is assembled to find a cure to the pathogen code-named “Andromeda,” and a reporter investigates a government conspiracy only to discover what he is chasing wants him silenced.
The four-hour original A&E television event stars Benjamin Bratt, Eric McCormack, Ricky Schroder, Andre Braugher, Christa Miller, Daniel Dae Kim and Viola Davis and airs Monday, May 26 and Tuesday May 27 from 9-11 on A&E.
Learn more about the movie at our special Andromeda Strain page and then experience The Andromeda Strain at the official website.

Kate Reid from the original
My dad took us to see The Andromeda Strain in a big theater when I was a kid. We loved it! We got really tense when the “bug” got loose and the automatic systems started slamming doors shut, etc. The book was fun, too. Thanks for the offer!
I want to win!
I vaguely remember the original and would love to win this so I can recollect it.
I have read several books that Michael Crichton has written. He’s one of my favorite authors.

I would love to win this. I have never seen the Andromeda Strain, nor have I read it. I’ve seen the movie mentioned in various places online, though, and it’s made me want to see it. I’ve also read a few books by Crichton and I really enjoyed them. Please enter me in the contest. Thanks so much!
I just remember reading the book and finding it very interesting, that’s all I know really on the subject.
I Saw The 1971 Movie At The Movies When It First Came Out, And I Am Waiting For The New One To Watch it.

the original was so creepy!!
I have never saw this, but I would like to win it so I could! thank you
I want this one really bad!!!
I’ve never watched the movie or seen the book, but I’d sure like to. So it would be neat if I won.
loved the original and this new version has a great cast!
I would like to read the novel but I would most like to win for the continuity of the DVD collection.
What a classic movie. I would love to have the collection.
I really enjoyed the first film AND hope this one is just as good,Would love to win this prize!
Christa Miller well it is from a classic hope they did a good job
I’ve read many of Cricton’s book and love them, but never got to enjoy the movie. (Babies will do that to you
Would love to win!
If I remember correctly, The Andromeda Strain movie was the first experience I had with Michael Chrichton. It’s a pretty thrilling movie, and I have no doubt that the mini series would be the same way. (Since then, I have read quite a few more of his novels, including, of course, The Andromeda Strain)
I’m also a fan of Daniel Dae Kim and Ricky Schroder from Lost and 24, respectively.
It will be interesting to find out if the new version is as good as the first–although with more modern effects, I suppose they might add some additional bells and whistles, which are probably not necessary for the suspense.
