Sinopsis(1)
Después de que un satélite artificial se estrelle en una remota aldea de Nuevo México, el equipo encargado de recuperarlo descubre que casi todos los habitantes del lugar han perecido víctimas de una horrible muerte, con la misteriosa excepción de un niño y un viejo. Los superviventes son trasladados a un laboratorio de avanzadísima tecnología situado a una profundidad de cinco pisos bajo tierra, donde los perplejos científicos tratan de determinar la naturaleza del mortífero microbio antes de que cause estragos en todo el mundo.

He leído la novela y ya me decepcionó un poco que Crichton fuera un poco blando hacia el final en cuanto a la eliminación de personajes (a diferencia de sus otras obras de corte similar). La adaptación cinematográfica no es más que una reescritura bastante fiel, que desgraciadamente no sorprende a los lectores del original. Sin embargo, los espectadores no familiarizados con el tema apreciarán la tensión, cuya fuerza no se puede negar.

Robert Wise tried to take a "serious" approach to the material and created a sobering spectacle of what a deadly epidemic of the future could look like. He relied on contemporary scientific theories, and his greatest desire was clearly the believability and rationality of the story. He consciously abandoned the usual genre clichés, which is commendable, but in the end, a somewhat sterile spectacle was created, suffering to some extent from excessive length, exaggerated emphasis on dialogues, and that it is overall static. It's worth a decent three stars, but it's not a film that I would feel any desire to revisit. Overall impression: 60%.

Very good sci-fi that manages to feel epic, but at the same time modest and even intimate. It is also given by the fact that it focuses on a disease that most likely came from space. Why didn't it kill one baby? And why didn't it kill one old man? A very well-executed film where you yourself feel like you could get infected. And most importantly, you don't know what the consequences will be.

With no unnecessary special effects, just impressive scenery with a minimum of actors, this film amounts to a solidly suspenseful game played for time with an unknown toxin. It has a clever theme, an intelligent script, and a few atmospherically packed moments, and the only thing keeping the film below the highest standard is ultimately tiresome runtime.
