    They made a real effort Given the technology available to the team making this, for the budget they had, they tried. Some of the effects, with the giant, as not great, not even by the 50's standards. Certainly it looks hokey to us. As they were using a man for the colossus, they could not use a stop-motion miniature as King Kong, and I think the movie suffered for it. They didn't even make a hand to interact with things on the ground, and it was a bad choice. It isn't a bad movie, but it certainly could not live up to Kong, doing the same giant-things.

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.
