The Andromeda Strain//Doors/Corridors

[@Hey_MikeZeroEcho22P]

One of My FAVORITE Sci-Fi movies!! Pretty realistic characters ( the scientists, at least ), plot, and having it come out just as lunar research was a bit fearful of what it could reveal.

[@nancyadcock4899]

One of my all time favorites. I’ve watched it several times in the last couple weeks and I never get tired of it. Love the cast but especially James Olson, he was the normal guy kinda out of place with the other scientists. Great performance and easy on the eyes too, loved him, RIP💕

[@embossed64]

A movie that still holds up to this day.

[@bobholtzmann]

Today's secret underground government labs are not quite as small as that Dept. of Agriculture Research Facility.

[@davebartosh5]

This was one of the smartest books/movies written.

[@luckychucky3426]

if you've never seen this movie you're in for a treat it was one of those science Fiction's it didn't have any monsters all I had was an isotope it kept multiplying it was a great movie I enjoyed it so much when I first seen it and it's another one of those that I wouldn't mind seeing a rerun

[@alcd6333]

The set is one of the best ever built. I read that in order to save costs, they made only one level and painted over it each time.

[@Setebos]

They worked to get their money's worth from that set. The corridor has appeared in episodes of "The Incredible Hulk", "Night Gallery" and a 1972 made-for-television movie "The Astronaut". There may have been other appearances.

[@veramae4098]

Also a fan of "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea" and "Star Trek" TV shows, and I've heard they did the same thing.

[@Setebos]

@@veramae4098 Oh Lord yes! As an example: Irwin Allen squeezed every ounce of use he could get out of that IBM AN/FSQ-7 computer console which first appeared in "The Time Tunnel". To this day that console (or parts of it) still makes appearances in films and television episodes.

[@ReaLifeHDchannel]

I heard the Universal Studios executives at the time were seriously hyped for this movie, hence the giant budget you can literally see in these rooms.

[@starcrib]

Absolutely brilliant film- and it still holds up- ' mid century modern technological esthetic everything..!!! 👥️️👥️️👥️️👥️️🔴🚫

[@davidpalmer7175]

This truly is one Hell of a movie!

[@eronavbj]

I read the book and couldn’t wait for the movie which was well done. As thrillers go, this is done superbly, with few over-the-top additions, e.g. villains, love interests, cartoonish fight scenes or other inducements that have become standard fare in contemporary films. The “thrills” are fomented in the viewers’ psyche, not via phony CGI. Movies are no longer made for the mature audience.

[@PaulMcCannWebBuilder]

Also missing is the ubiquitous, 'bad' team member, that's always added to provide tension and sometimes comic relief. The characters in Andromeda have flaws, but there's no jerks/a-holes/incompetents that are just writers' crutches for adding conflict to an arc. When you say to yourself, 'that person never would have gotten that job' during a movie, it's as reality-breaking as a bad special effect.

[@halon7476]

Amazing movie for its time

[@tolivr]

Saw this movie with my dad when I was 12. At the climatic moment, I turned to my dad and asked "Why do they do this to us when they know he's going to turn the key and stop the bomb?" The lady seated next to me started laughing at me. Really good movie, and great memory of watching it with my dad.

[@ReaLifeHDchannel]

“8 seconds to spare. Hardly even exciting.”

[@LastAvailableAlias]

Of course there is no way to totally eliminate all microorganisms from the outside or inside of the body. I doubt the food brought in is 100% free of anything either.

[@Nighthawke70]

Below level 3 they had liquid diets and protein pills. Of course, the human body can't survive on that forever. Fiber is needed, roughage, bulk...

[@rsequakes2240]

This is amazing. I grew up with this movie and just watched it again this month during lockdown. This KZbin version shows me the pace that this movie would be presented at if it was released now. Awesome!!!

[@bonitahighley7922]

oh yah, the best parts-great editing, thanks. I remember this as a kid, pure adrenaline rush for a kid to watch

[@JohnStark72]

Saw this at college a year after its release. Eric Christmas does the best impression of a Vermonter I've ever seen in the movies or even TV. The remake of this film was the pits.

[@MikeUIibarri]

That was crazy.

[@bwc1976]

I've never seen this movie but I love the set design!

[@mjt2231]

Yeah, it's a great study in color palette too.

[@visionist7]

Awesome work! All that's missing is that panic inducing shot of the clock resetting itself and flashing a red wedge to show T minus

[@JamesFitzRoyinFlux]

Felice Graziano thanks. I was trying to focus on just doors and corridors for this series but just like the film it does have a nice build up 🤓

[@cvkline]

That's one of my favorite cool practical effects from the Wildfire facility, too. But I also get that it's not a door or corridor. 🙂

[@bandfromtheband9445]

That was one of the coolest practical effects - the red 5 minute wedge on the wall clock, along with the bells and the sirens and the female voice counting off the minutes and seconds before oblivion. Better hurry up guys, if you don't want to be vaporized! I'm glad that Robert Wise had the sense to keep creepy Michael Crichton out of this film, and only include his trusted friend, Nelson Gidding!

[@jeff__w]

@@cvkline “That's one of my favorite cool practical effects from the Wildfire facility, too.” Mine, too. (The other was the discovery of a small indentation and a small grain of rock with a spattering of a glowing green substance-“What about the bits of green?”-on the copper mesh of the US Army satellite, Scoop VII-but, also, obviously, not a door or corridor.)

[@jeff__w]

Anyone missing that resetting clock with that glowing red wedge can see it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpWnhqyjbdCjaMk It’s a simple but striking effect that was included in the movie trailer.

[@blaidencortel]

I have to admit ...... that was one of my Favorite lines from that guy!!

[@JeffreyGroves]

Obviously the psyche evals of the people working at Wildfire were totally lacking. The majority of them run away in the face of danger. They should never have been allowed to work at such a facility ;-)

[@Wonkabar007]

Really good watch 👍

[@ReaLifeHDchannel]

This is one hell of an edit. It's like a summary for those who don't want to watch the whole movie.

[@JamesFitzRoyinFlux]

[@bandfromtheband9445]

One of the most frightening films ever made!

[@TairnKA]

Another of my favorites. For fun I drew up a concept house based on "Andromeda". ;-)

Since 1971 the odd man hypothesis has been disproven.

[@Erni3K]

This is beautiful. Wow. Thanks.

[@blasterelforg7276]

Pretty good expose on 3-D computer modelling for 1971.

[@borisgalos6967]

There was NO computer modeling in the film. That's all analog camera technique.

[@blasterelforg7276]

@@borisgalos6967 Good to know. Pretty good analog camera technique though for back then. At 0:39 fooled me. I thought the clip was programmed using QBasic, recorded onto analog tape and then the two films superimposed using analog camera.

[@borisgalos6967]

@@blasterelforg7276 It was actually multiple passes on a model with different lights. And it couldn't have been QBasic (or Quick Basic or even Microsoft BASIC for the Altair) since the movie is from 1971 which was back when Bill Gates was still a student at Lakeside High School in Seattle learning how to program. There's some discussion of the technique in the "Making of" short that's distributed with the DVD and BluRay versions (and is somewhere on KZbin)

Nicely done! I just picked up the RSD re-issue of the original soundtrack LP -- limited to 1500 copies, on hexagonal vinyl, with an elaborate "mirror" fold-open cover -- from Jackpot Records.

[@Ididntaskforahandleyoutube]

I'm jealous. Cheers.

[@bandfromtheband9445]

I wish I could have found one of those copies! Damn! Incredibly rare, so hold onto it!

That was great. Thank you.

God I love this movie! The underground lab looks like a Zaha Hadid creation. Brilliant little fan edit!

Underground lab ... inspiration for Umbrella Organization's underground maybe.

[@malquezare]

Great job ! I love this movie. Thanks to share

[@JamesFitzRoyinFlux]

Marcus Alquezare thanks. Glad you liked it.

[@The80sWolf_]

I love how this is like a old "journey into whatever" but like in a research facility. And have the Crichton political/capitalistic/cold war stuff too. I felt scared, and it was a mind twister. Also a strong female character, in a movie from the 70s! Oh my! Also the score is spot on. What is bad about it? How is the book and is it worth reading/listening to?

[@ConceptJunkie]

I loved the book, and read it in one day, but to be fair I read it over 40 years ago.

[@2fathomsdeeper]

The movie is pretty faithful to the book.

[@ReaLifeHDchannel]

The book is great and more detailed, although Leavitt isn’t from the book. There’s also an official sequel book written by Daniel H. Wilson, which is very well written in my opinion.

Well done.

This is amazing editing. However, it would be even better if this could also be a summarization of the movie for those who haven't seen it. Keep it up!

[@jawoody9745]

+ReaLife HD You won't get an "accurate" summation by watching this. You'll get just a taste of it. Watch the entire movie, instead.

[@ReaLifeHDchannel]

+james woody I did. A lot.

[@jawoody9745]

ReaLife HD Cool. I still revisit this film about once a year. I revisit 2001, as well. Doug Trumbull worked on both films. But the Andromeda Strain scared me more, knowing that an environmental agent, alien or otherwise could wipe out humanity very cleanly, and very suddenly.

[@ReaLifeHDchannel]

+james woody I love this particular movie because it's an epitome of what science and sci-fi can and should be. The characters' focus (or foci) on science is just as amazing as the scary science fiction behind Andromeda. The social atmosphere may seem Vulcan-like (but compare that to the TV reboot!), but I'd like to be there using science to figure out well-structured science-fiction. To me, that's a practical and crucial point of sci-fi since science is for sci-fi and sci-fi is for science. To quote it simply, "We have a job to do purely of science." "Maybe not so pure."

[@jawoody9745]

ReaLife HD Agreed!
