Apparently there's a super secret biological storage facility on the ISS.

Bacillus infernus saves the day.

Seven seconds at timer end. Kids are enraptured.

The journalist is making sobriety jokes. He and this random girl somehow were in the middle of the hot zone. Apparently weed will save you too

Kids are anxious as our bomb timer counts down. Protagonist is blinded and trying to follow verbal cues.

Gay guy, whose thumb we need to deactivate the nuke under the facility, has died. Microbiologist has died while throwing the thumb up to our protagonist.

They're climbing the air shaft and supposedly Andromeda is traveling through disintegrating things.

We've established that Andromeda can't move against natural forces so WHY didn't they utilize negative air pressure in the design of these levels as an engineering control for containment?!

We're taking bets on what the image is for that also got encoded.

Also, I've been waiting for the facility self destruct sequence. We've finally reached it.

"How much of this bug do we need to grow?"
Me: you do not have a bioreactor.
Movie: tada, a "biological breeder vessel"
Me: THAT'S A BIOREACTOR GODDAMMIT

Aaaand we've contaminated the water supply

The graphics are really terrible by the way.

They want to crop dust the US with B infernus.

Me: that's going to take a long time to biomanufacture.

Spoiler theory/plot: Andromeda was sent back from the future through a wormhole. Bacillus infernus can eat it, but is only found in hydrothermal vents, which the president wants to mine and in the future there's no vents left, duhn duhn dunnnnnnn

My wife just predicted that there would be a binary code as they discussed a pattern. 5 seconds later, "it's a binary code"

Daniel Dae Kim is the microbiologist

"I'm a reporter with NNT, you probably know my face?"
"I only watch Colbert."
In 2008, this is sooooo accurate
January 20, 2025 at 4:35 AM
The script writers REALLY didn't understand the knowledge base a microbiologist is supposed to have. We're not chemists!
January 20, 2025 at 4:22 AM
The army guy is gay. And they couldn't come out and say it. Just hidden in a "don't ask don't tell" comment.

I haven't been in the astrobiology circle for a while, but I WAS in that circle when this movie was made and what they're talking about being 'tossed around in astrobiology circles' is absurd. Messenger theory? Maybe astrophysics.

One guy just ran a battery of antibiotic resistance tests and got results INSTANTLY. Ridiculous. With dramatic robot pipetting images.
January 20, 2025 at 4:06 AM
Now the microbiologist is talking quantum physics?! Stay in your lane dude.

Part 2 starting now. The 12 yo has joined me.
January 20, 2025 at 3:58 AM
I've been given permission by the 8 yo to watch part 2 while they take a bath.
