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.

Andromeda Strain is one of the greatest movies ever made!
Please enter me! Great prize
my favorite star is Eric McCormack, he’s hilarious and i’d love to see him do something more serious!
Benjamin Bratt is the hottest!
The Andromeda sounds so good – I never saw it.
I saw the original and have only seen one of the new ones so this would be great to see the rest. Great prize!
I want To Win
One of my favorite books.
Very intrigued by the whole humanity decimation by plague scenario and the new one looks very interesting indeed. Much impressed by the previews. Will be watching tonight!!!!
I would luv to win this!
Besides liking all “end of mankind” movies, I need a t-shirt, my house burnt down and I’ve got like 4 shirts to my name.
I remember watching the original as a kid and just being amazed by it. I caught a bit of it on AMC a few years ago and it was every bit as good as I remembered! Looking forward to this new one… I wonder if it will have the same ending?
nice prize
My first exposure to a kid was watching the original “Andromeda” on tv with my dad — I’m looking forward to seeing the remake, which I’ll probably also watch with dear old dad all these years later. Thanks for the contest!
I’ve always liked Michael Chrichton’s novels and would definitely enjoy this prize package.
I am a huge sci fi fan, as well.
I am a fan of the show, I would love to win
Eric McCormack is definitely my favorite. I always like him in any role and he’s great to look at too!
Banjamin Bratt is my favorite. He just play his character so well!
I’d have to agree, Benjamin Brett.
It will be interesting to see how they manage to “punch this up”, given that major portions of the original (sampling materials and getting almost-real-time analysis; electron-microscopy imaging of the “sample” ‘growing’; incubator response-over-time graphs, etc) are all things we’re able to do right now in most major hospitals and colleges…
This would be excellent, and good timing — I’m pretty sure we have a (noisy) video taped copy of the original, and I know we have a (dog-eared)copy of Crichton’s book.
I love Eric McCormack!
I’d like to win because The Andromeda Strain was classic sci-fi. I miss classic science fiction. Shows like the latter Star Trek movies don’t really satisfy my need for good sci-fi.
I would love to win this dvd, I like Eric McCormacks character in this movie.
My favorite Andromeda Strain star is Daniel Dae Kim. It’s very interesting to see him in a role other than the character he portrays in Lost.
have never seen it sadly
This remake / re-imagining of “The Andromeda Strain” does not live-up to the original film nor the Michael Crichton novel. I enjoyed seeing the changes and how they would pull this entriguing plot into today’s market, but I was left with the impression that all I was seeing was something along the lines of “CSI:Andromeda Strain”, and Benjamin Bratt is no Arthur Hill. It was enjoyable, but I spent too much time remembering where scenes from the original film were cut, changed or just twisted around; however, I’d be more than happy to win the prizes!
Read the book years ago…loved it!
I would really love to win this!
My boyfriend and I both loved the original Andromeda Strain and we were absolutely glued to the tv last night. Can’t wait to see the conclusion tonight and then go by the DVD!
I like Eric McCormack because of Will and Grace which is still my favorite show
i would love to win this.
I remember seeing this awesome movie and being fascinated by the science and technology. That was a long time ago and I would love to see the newer version to see how things have changed. The cast of this newer version is marvelous! Thanks for the chance to win!
thanks for the great contest! i love anything by michael crichton.
I would love it!!!!!
I love the first movie!!!
very good!
I would love 2 win this and watch the dvd.
This looks like a great movie…would love to win it!
…the original film is a SF classic: it scared the bejeesus out of me when I saw it in 7th grade back in the late ’60’s.
I’m going to say Ricky Schroeder. A fine prize to go with a fine film. Please enter me in the contest and thank you much!!
would love to win this.
I want to win because I love sci-fi
I really enjoy Ricky Schroder’s work and Michael Crichton is my favorite writer
I’ll be honest….I want to win because these guys are hot!!
I liked the original.
I love the original movie!
I don’t know anything about the original movie. I would like to read the book. Except for special effects, the book is usually better than the movie.
Awesome giveaway!!!!
I Like Andre Braugher
