Wonderful movie—still worth seeing today.

Michael Crichton was the man.

Fantastic book.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

I loved that movie. I caught it by accident on the Sci-Fi channel one day. Certainly not what Hollyweird would do nowadays, but it was somehow very interesting.

Plus it had that one quirk of one of the lab ladies who was formerly a prostitute.

This is an interesting movie. Michael Crichton was a stickler for realism, and he consulted state of the art experts on biological warfare both in and out of the government both when he wrote the book and when he was involved in the production of it.

He was insistent that they purchase state-of-the-art equipment (in 1971), such as that used in the efforts to isolate and identify the virus. That was how they figured, in that day, what kind of filters would be effective protection.

They were really upset at the budget impact, buying real equipment, but he was determined.

Good movie. First of the late, great Michael Crichton’s novel made into a movie.

[Magnum44]

Great movie, and if we do ever find off world life, sadly this is most likely how it will manifest.

[Danie_2023]

One of my favorite SciFi flicks ever. And scary as hell...since it is something that could actually happen.

[Vendome]

Saw the original back then and the sequel played everyday for nearly four years already

[struggle]

A very well made movie.

[Locomotive Breath]

I've read both the book and seen the movie. But a long time ago. Doesn't humanity escape because the virus mutates into something less harmful? I somehow remember a deus ex machina ending that disappointed me, but my memory could be wrong.

[Bounced2X]

Great movie. Saw it when it first came out.

[ltc8k6]

One of my favorite parts is where they come and get the scientists to recall them into government service.

I saw this when it came out at the OakBrook Theater near Chicago. The inside of the theater was mostly white, and the seats were white as well. Combine that with the white interiors of the lab scenes and it really got you into the spirit of the movie.

Same place I saw The Exorcist.

[wjcsux]

Classic movie!

[ought-six]

Good movie; better book.

[Fledermaus]

Wasn’t that virus brought to earth on purpose? Government sent spaceships out to find it.

[yefragetuwrabrumuy]

I really liked the “There is a Fire” scene.
