... bastardised garbage is sitting at 7.6 on IMDb is beyond me!
Writing: Terrible
Acting/Actors: Dire, simply dire.
I binged watched all 8 episodes and I was ready to give up half way through the 2nd episode, but I persevered and it just got worse, to the point that I was FFWD'ing now and again. In fact the only good thing that kept me going with it at times was the CGI, and some of that was dire as well.
Overall, disappointing.
I dont know how you could binge watch. I stopped after 3 episodes.
The only interesting thing in the series is the overarching plot. It has no merit script wise, acting is bad, editing is meh.
I liked it 🤷♂️
shareThe title really pisses me off and I have no plans to watch it. What does 3 Body Problem even mean?
shareThey explain it in the show. It’s an old scientific quandary about how gravity unpredictably affects large objects in space.
In the show it metaphorically reflects the 3 Wallfacers and Trisolarians inability to predict or read their tactics.
What??? The title has nothing to do with the 3 wallfacers... I mean in the book there is actually 4 wallfacers... It refers (as it has already been expalined) to the 3 suns in the Trisolarian solar system.
shareThe three body problem is a physics scenario of three "bodies", suns or planets, in orbit and how there is now solution to determine how to calculate the position of the three bodies into the future.
That is if you have three bodies in space-time, and you know their initial conditions, positions and velocity, there is no solution to be able to plot out their positions in the future as you can if you just have two bodies, like the Earth and Moon.
Spoiler!!
The Earth is being imperialized by an alien species who come from a planet that is gravitationally bound to three stars (three body problem) which causes their origin planet to go through lengthy periods of both stability and chaos, which presumably is not up to the alien species’ preference. They’d rather have our world.
This sounds worse every time I hear it.
shareit's referring to 3 celestial bodies. It is explained in the show.
shareIt was a bit mushy, but, overall, it was good, actually. The only thing that truly annoyed me was Eiza Gonzalez.
