Among most film enthusiasts, there are fans of space battles and intergalactic travel. In the arsenal of almost every famous filmmaker, there is at least one such film. And the Canadian film director Jorge Montesi did not neglect this trend. For thirty years of a successful career, the filmmaker has made about 55 brilliant films, of which a good dozen were devoted to the topic of space.
The cult "Andromeda"
How can you characterize the Andromeda project (the series and roles are real science fiction) in a few words? Let's try: an adventure fantasy action film with elements of a melodrama. Yes, it has everything: battles for universal well-being, and superheroes, and ordinary human relations (where without them?).
Jorge Montesi, along with colleagues - Alan Eastman, Richard Flower, David Winning and Peter DeLuis, carried out colossal work on Andromeda. The series, whose actors underwent a serious casting, kept the viewer in suspense for five seasons. Let's get to know those who brought such popularity to the film.

A charming avatar of a star ship, an android that takes on the likeness of a girl. A crew member helping to achieve equilibrium in the System. Such a robot assistant. The actress had to combine rationality and emotionality, humanity and mechanicality. The task is not easy, but, as we see, it is feasible.
Lisa Ryder
The actress ascended the podium thanks to the role of the Andromeda starpom. The series, about the actors in question, gave her the role of Becky Valentine. She commands the crew of the ship "Eureka Marou", carelessly plows the expanses of galaxies, until she rescues the spaceship from the Black Hole already known to us.
