Scientists arrive to recover the satellite, only to find the village littered with corpses. Their mission is to isolate and identify the alien virus which was brought back by Scoop, and to discover a way of neutralising it before it can spread any further. Their only clue is the two survivors of the disaster - an old man and a baby. It's chilling stuff, and despite the almost total lack of action and a rather lengthy two and a quarter hour running time, it manages to keep your attention throughout. The laboratory and its draconian sixteen hour decontamination procedure are all recreated with stark and painstaking detail, and Andromeda itself is brought to life thanks to some trippy computer generated effects.
Feedback is welcome.
The shots of the Wildfire installation in this film are breathtaking in detail and scope. The director has imagined an entire universe and committed almost all of it to film. Although the acting isn't up to much, there are so many points of interest to be astonished by from the sets and the ideas presented in the film that you remain captivated through the entire piece. I liked this movie when I saw it quite some time ago. I agree with Gestalt and his comments on the movie.
