Three Body Problem (Netflix) - Lemmy.world

https://youtu.be/5lj99Uz1d50 [https://youtu.be/5lj99Uz1d50] The Three Body Problem trailer for the new Netflix adaptation is out. I must say I am very skeptical of this one. This being one of my favorite books I have my doubts that they will do it justice. I’m sure it will be visually interesting and everything, but that’s not really the point. Especially not for book 1. I recently watched both the Tencent live adaptation as well as the animated adaptation of The Dark Forest and sometimes I feel like these books were better left on paper. The live show wasn’t bad or anything it just has a different feel to it on screen that’s hard to understand. Warning: please refrain from posting book spoilers in this thread. General discussion is fine.

I am not at all confident that anyone, least of all these two chuckleheads, are capable of adapting this series faithfully. IMO this is a story best kept to the page, at least for now.

I’m expecting original Dune (1984) levels bad.

Yeah, I was excited for this until I saw who was making it! I’m going to give it a shot, but like you I’m not confident it will work as a TV show. Maybe if they did book 1 + book 2 as the first season.
I feel like the Youtube channel Quinn's Ideas has probably done this story more justice than Netflix ever could, but I'm at least glad to see a great story get a little attention rather than just another "reboot" of some terrible comic book story or another pathetic cash grab of a movie.
I just want to see how bad the CGI is when the bullet tears apart all the ships. On a scale of ST:ToS to Battlestar Galactica I bet it’s in the ReBoot level of CGI.
I don’t think there is much concept of necro posting here. At least not while the activity level is as it is. Better than making a bunch of identical posts.
Thanks. Old habit from ancient forums.
