Some of you will like it – others may not who have seen the original but never judge a book by its cover … so they say 
A U.S. satellite crash-lands near a small town in Utah, unleashing a deadly plague that kills virtually everyone except two survivors, who may provide clues to immunizing the population.
As the military attempts to quarantine the area, a team of highly specialized scientists is assembled to find a cure and stop the spread of the alien pathogen, code-named Andromeda.

Goofs
- Factual errors: When the helicopter with the scientists goes to the secret base, it is visible through the helicopter windows that one of the F-16s escorts them. This is impossible, because the F16 has a stall speed of about 250 mph while that helicopter has a max. speed of only 135mph – a difference greater than 100 mph.
- Continuity: The frame gets flipped in the scene where they drive the Humvee through town. As they start moving, you can see the steering wheel and engine “snorkel” on the left, but when the pass the ambulance it has switched sides.
- Revealing mistakes: While focusing on the street, the shadow of the passing helicopter is visible. Based on the shadow’s length, the helicopter would be around twenty feet in length, while the actual UH-1 is just over 40′.
- Continuity: The scientists say they are going to expose the virus to a rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta) to the effects of the virus but later a tufted capuchin (Cebus apella) is shown. The rhesus is an Old World Monkey and is commonly used in medical and biological research whereas the capuchin is often used in entertainment and as a helper monkey because it is highly trainable.
- Factual errors: The computer generated F-16 used in the movie had a tail marking of “CL”. There are no USAF or ANG F-16’s with the tail marking “CL”.
- Factual errors: There are far too many four-star generals in this film. Most four-stars are retired three-stars who got that fourth star on retirement as an honorary promotion (and to enhance their pension). If you pay close attention to congressional hearing footage on C-SPAN and other news outlets, you’ll notice that it’s almost always the Joint Chiefs of Staff and a very few other general officers at the top of the food chain who wear four stars on their uniforms. The officers shown in “Andromeda Strain” are not in that category. In the novel and movie, Manchek was a major; accounting for rank inflation since the novel was written, it’s more likely he’d be a colonel, just maybe a brigadier general. The men reporting to him would be colonels and majors. In reality, there would be ONE four-star general in this story – the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
- Factual errors: Dr. Angela Noyce, after her dream sequence, finally connects the baby, the old man, and the diabetic survivors as having in common being in a state of acidosis during exposure to Andromeda Strain. To which, Dr. Jeremy Stone chimes in: “so, you’re saying they survived Andromeda because they had the same level of stomach acid, that’s brilliant.” What’s not brilliant is that acidosis has nothing to do with stomach acid…it is the acidity level of the BLOOD.
- Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): The personnel in the innocuous-looking building above the “Wildfire” complex were said to have the “highest levels of security clearance” (and were specifically tasked with project security.) Yet the guard at the desk agreed (with little or no persuasion) to use his personal cell phone to hook Dr. Stone up with a REPORTER!
- Plot holes: The ‘Black Stuff’ is made of Bucky Balls so it must be artificial. This is wrong, Buckminsterfullerenes are commonly found in soot from just about any burnt organic substance.
- Factual errors: Buckminsterfullerene, aka Bucky Balls, were not discovered/invented by Buckminster Fuller. He was the architect that created the geodesic dome. Buckminsterfullerenes comprise 60 or 70 atoms of carbon (and is the third natural state of carbon after graphite and diamond). The structure resembles Fuller’s dome and was named in his honor.
- Revealing mistakes: When the doctors first come into the town of Piedmont, they look over at an old man (who is dead) and you can clearly see his chest sink from having just exhaled.
- Factual errors: When comparing victim diagnosis, Dr. Noyce states, “If Sylvie breathed rapidly long enough carbon dioxide would build up in her system and she would become acidotic.” This is incorrect. Rapid breathing (hyperventilation) causes carbon dioxide blood levels to decrease creating alkalosis, essentially the opposite of acidosis.
- Revealing mistakes: After the birds that attack the soldiers begin to fall into the river, the splashes are identical, revealing the recycling of the CGI effect. The birds in the flock also follow identical patterns in flight.
Factual errors: The deep-sea vent bacteria live in a very hot, high-pressure, acidic environment; they will not survive normal surface conditions.
