A for Andromeda

2006 · 86 min

A chilly, talky sci-fi thriller that builds quiet dread from a signal and a machine, feeling like a stage play with cosmic stakes.

Once completed, the device's motives provokes discourse between scientists John Fleming and Madeleine Dawnay as further instructions are to create a living organism, which Dawnay develops. The entity compels lab assistant Christine to commit suicide, and, upon manifestation, adopts her form, now known as Andromeda.
