The Andromeda Strain

When virtually all of the residents of Piedmont, New Mexico, are found dead after the return to Earth of a space satellite, the head of the US Air Force's Project Scoop declares an emergency. A group of eminent scientists led by Dr. Jeremy Stone scramble to a secure laboratory and try to first isolate the life form while determining why two people from Piedmont - an old alcoholic and a six-month-old baby - survived. The scientists methodically study the alien life form unaware that it has already mutated and presents a far greater danger in the lab, which is equipped with a nuclear self-destruct device designed to prevent the escape of dangerous biological agents.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

This was one of the first documentaries I saw about the human body, and I like it very much.The use of graphics in the documentary was amazing, it dazzled me. As you are actually seeing the different layers of the human body in action.The plot as it goes from the birth of a baby girl and then taking you as she grows up till the death of her, made this documentary very very interesting. Also full of scientific information.I have also to state that this will appear somewhat naive for medical students and professionals. I use some of the shots in this documentary to illustrate some points and make somethings clear to my students.finally, I would recommend this documentary to anyone who is interested in the human body and want to see a new original approach to the story of human life on the anatomical and physiological level.

A Disappointing documentary about the human body that actually shows very little of the internal workings of the human body. Instead it has a lot of interviews with people talking about their bodies: A woman trying to get pregnant, a man getting treated for a brain tumor, a basketball player exercising, a taxi driver. We are treated to some microscopic views of an ovum being fertilized, and some brain CT scan images, and there are a few scientists discussing DNA and stem cells, but that is about all. The program revels in the wonder and mystery of the body instead of providing information on how it actually works. Not for anyone seeking to learn about anatomy.
