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.
That’s a good point, the first book was so compelling due to that mystery. Some new mysterious do pop up in the books as they progress, but none are as compelling as that first mystery. I also feel the books context got more and more ridiculously and weird as they went along, so by the time we’re in book 3, it’s very difficult to get into for me.
I don’t quit books in audio format too frequently, so it isn’t a habit of mine. I’ll probably check out the Netflix series though, expecting nothing good. What a weird Sci-Fi book to try and turn into a live action show for western audiences!
