Best version of Andromeda Strain?

[Warren]

I plan to watch The Andromeda Strain.
There are two versions that I'm aware of:
The 1971 film and the 2008 TV Mini Series.
I'm backlogged so I don't plan to watch both.
Which version was better?

[Louie]

The 1971 film

Thanks. I tracked down a copy (the one you recommended) and thats the one I'm going with.
I also found out the Colbert agrees with your assessment-
