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.

I’ve never seen this at all. Would love an opportunity to watch it.
I just love SI-FI movies. The kids and I are always betting who will get it next!!
I think this is the first Crichton book I read, and it’s definitely one of my faves ever. I’ve read it a couple times and enjoyed the old film. I can’t wait to see a modern take on it.
Michael Crichton is one of my favorite authors
Benjamin Bratt is always great to watch.
Kate Reid from the original

I would love to win this because it would make my husband so happy! Thanks for the contest!
I read the book many years ago, and loved the original movie. I would love to have this in my collection! Thank you for this giveaway!
We watch the movie in school. I remember wanting the instant defoliator. A few seconds of bright light and you’ve taken care of that pesky leg and underarm hair and gave yourself the ultimate skin exfoliation
We love this! I would like to win.
I want to win this for my wife!
Count me in
I have never seen it. I really think that I should see it.
I’d love to win so I could have a chance to see this show
It was the original film of The Andromeda Strain that introduced me to Michael Crichton. My father is a science fiction buff and decided the family would go see the film. I was nine years old, but very interested in science. I pestered my dad with questions during the film and for days afterwards. When I was 11, I read the book, and I’ve been an admirer of Crichton’s work ever since.
This would be great. Thanks
would luv to win this for my son…thanks for the contest
I want to win this because my little brother is a huge fan!!! This would be the ultimate gift for him.
ooh i love Rambo – please enter me
I am really interested in this. Can’t wait to see it on TV or winning would be even better!
I saw this movie when I was very young and it scared me, I think I can handle it now!
Would love to win anything! I watch any scifi programs and movies because it makes you think “What If”. This movie contains so many great actors that I have seen on TV and in movies, I think they are all awesome. I couldn’t pick just one as a favorite because several are my favorites but I remember seeing little Ricky years ago.
Crighton is a great writer and it would be great to see Ricky Shroder again. Thank you
let it be me!
guess I am gonna be in the minority because I think Rick Schroeder is the best actor in this movie
Michael Crichton has always been my favorite star and i first got introduced to him in the series, id like to win the series so i can add it to my already massive scifi collection
let it be me
As a child, this movie fascinated me. I suppose it was because it was my first exposure to an apocalyptic type film. I’ve since enjoyed several doomsday type movies, but this was definitely my first.
I like that (for the time period) it was modern, had intelligent women in it, and dealt with disability. The thought that a virus could wipe out the world was horrifying and yet fascinating at the same time.
While I haven’t watched the original in years, there was a time that whenever I came acrossed it, I’d always have to stop whatever I was doing and watch it.
I’ll be really interested to see if the new movie lives up to the old one.
The book and original movie were my introduction to biological terror.
Arthur Hill
I want to win because I absolutely love Michael Crighton!!!!!!!!
I saw the original but really remember very little of it. I’d like to own this because I like seeing good literary works done justice in a mini-series format. It allows much more loyalty to the true vision of the author.
I like Daniel Dae Kim, I love his character Jin on Lost!! Thanks for the chance.
Have never seen it–would like to though!
I’d like to win this because the Andromeda Strain was the first scifi book I read when I was younger, and I’d like to see if I can remember anything.
Great prize, please enter me.
I read the book and then saw the original movie. I think this one looks more up to par with the spirit of the book.
Saw the original back in the 70’s…it’s an excellent movie!
I really want this one!
I’d love this set because I remember when the book first came out – yep, I’m old!
Eric McCormack; he was so hilarious in “Will & Grace”.
I would love to win this, I remember the original and how much it scared me to think of…would love to win this..thank you.
please enter me in this great contest
