    "It's a little surprising how much of a paint-by-numbers techno-thriller this is. Little in 'The Andromeda Strain' feels unfamiliar."—Boston.comBoston.com: Doomsday Plot… (May 26, 2008)

    "So here it is, a two-part A&E miniseries that manages, despite a cast culled from some of the best shows on TV, to be both overwrought and dull, a veritable Frankenfilm of sci-fi thrillers."—LA TimesLA Times: Oh, Horrors… (May 26, 2008)

    "Director Mikael Salomon whips the story into a first-rate, quickly paced suspenseful tale. He is not at all shy about using flashy special effects, but he doesn't let them dominate the drama. 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."—The Hollywood ReporterTHR: The Andromeda Strain Review (May 22, 2008)
