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.

    Anyone who hasn’t read the book want to give their thoughts on this trailer? I mean, what the hell do you think it could possibly be about? The weird sci-fi and fantasy images make sense to me because I read the books, but I’m curious what anyone would think without any background knowledge.

      Uh, aliens and space magic maybe?

        The fact that aliens and space magic already come to mind kind of ruins it in my opinion. The book follows the timeline that it does for a reason.

      I’ve been excited for this because of my love for Sci-fi. I did not read the books but I did read the synopsis on Wikipedia so I know the premise. That being said, had I not done that, I would have no idea what this is about based on the trailer. I love the visuals though!
