Movies you should own: The Andromeda Strain

One of my favorite aspects of Andromeda Strain is the color coded levels of the underground laboratory, that correspond to different target emotional states for the research team (or something like that — it’s been a while).

Watching West World on HBO I’m struck by how they’ve captured some of Crichton’s DNA in both the set design and the kind of hubris corporations have in his books.

Fun trivia about that: there was only one small section of hallway built for the movie. It was repainted different colors between each set of takes.

Having read all of Crichton's books a well as West World: I think I agree with you.

If you have a few minutes, I wonder if you could cite a few examples, thanks!

A rare case where the series is better than the original movie.

I heard that they also mixed his DNA with that of a frog.
