A for Andromeda is a remake of the 1961 BBC science fiction classic A for Andromeda. In the Yorkshire Dales, a group of scientists receive radio signals from the Andromeda Galaxy. Once decoded, these give them a computer program that can design a human clone. One physicist decides it is a Trojan horse and decides to destroy the computer.

VIBE

A slow-burn exploration of humanity's place in the cosmos. It feels like a thoughtful, slightly unnerving thought experiment, wrapped in the quiet dread of a potential alien invasion. The atmosphere is thick with scientific wonder and creeping paranoia.
