For those of you who were around last year to watch Colossus: The Forbin Project (1970), I'll be playing a similar-styled movie tonight for anyone who's interested in watching. It's called The Andromeda Strain (1971).
Andromeda Strain is about a virus that comes to Earth via a returning satellite that is deadly to life. A special team of scientists must work on finding a cure in a secret lab deep underground in Nevada. The movie focuses a lot of scientific procedure, and while some ideas are obviously fantastical, a lot of it reflects the actual scientific process - this makes the movie more realistic compared to some scientist in some movie saying "Set maximum photo-discombobulation to max outputs!!" The original soundtrack of electronic music came in really neat hexagonal packaging and was a very limited edition: http://weirdwardhoblog.blogspot.ca/2011/03/sound-and-vision-andromeda-strain-aka.html I will have a digital copy of the soundtrack available to share with anyone who is interested. (Bite me, RIAA) Wikipedia page (warning, spoilers): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Andromeda_Strain_(film) IMDb page: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0066769/ Rotten Tomatoes page: http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/andromeda_strain/ Hope to see you tonight! ~Justin
