Three-Body (2023)

Intriguing story, horrendous pace and Censorship galore.

[NOTE: Some parts might feel disjointed, I had to remove some things]

Before I start, this drama is the adaptation of the first volume of a science-fiction trilogy I’ve yet to read, so although I’ll make some conjectures regarding said novels, this review is solely based on the drama.
I’ll try to be as concise as possible since there’s already a fair number of reviews written and MDL limits reviews to 10 000 characters (unless you’re a VIP member maybe, I don’t know).

I’ll be dividing this review in 3 parts : Spoiler Free, Thoughts with Spoiler and a a brief conclusion (spoiler free).

Now without further ado. Let’s dive in.

SPOILER FREE

The best way to watch this show is to avoid spoilers altogether and discover the story as it unravels, so I won’t talk about it, but it’s fair to say that it’s pretty confusing in the beginning. It’s intriguing, strange, you don’t know exactly where this is going but in spite of everything the story is fascinating enough that it keeps you hooked… until we get to around episode 10 and the past of one specific character is developed.

This is when, things start to get a bit more… tedious for watchers. Some viewers don’t seem to have been bothered by it, but I’ve seen a fair number of comments from people who either dropped or put this show on hold because of this draggy middle. I can’t make any comparison with the Netflix adaptation, but one comment mentioned that the Netflix version butchered the novel, while this version was a drag.

Now, I think there’s two main explanations for that draggy part one due to censorship and the other for plot-reason. BUT I can’t speak about those without spoiling so I’ll talk about this in the second part.

I can’t blame people for dropping the show at that point. It’s not that it’s not interesting, but honestly it’s such a drag that I myself had to pause with other shows on several occasions. If you’re patient enough though, by episode 18 things are back on track (though we still get some flashback for said character) and the story goes to its finale…. In a relatively good pace though leaving some inconsistencies and questions unanswered by the end.

I found the scientific explanations interesting, they tried to make them as understandable as possible for the non-initiated but let’s be honest, this is one instance where I feel books are better. I personally can’t wrap my head around complicated concepts unless I see them on paper.

Overall, it’s one of the most fascinating and intellectually challenging series I’ve seen in a while, but it needed some serious trimming in my opinion.
Censorship also removed some of the emotional impact of the story which I personally find extremely sad.

___________________________________________

THOUGHTS WITH SPOILERS

There’s lots of things worth discussing regarding Three Body and it’s just impossible to talk about them all, so I’ll be focusing on a couple of things here, those who marked me the most.

Ye Wen Jie’s Past, Censorship and thought on this character

There’s a fairly good chunk of the story that goes into explaining Ye Wen Jie’s past. Some of these explanations appeared pretty pointless to me until I started to wonder about some key events that are glossed over in the series. Upon looking it up online these “glossed over parts” that are talked about but never really showed in details in the story belong to a dark part of recent Chinese history. I haven’t read the novel, but it seems to be that there’s a probably a good chunk of it that talks in more details about what Wen Jie went through which explains why she ended up making the choices she made.

By not showing the full cruelty of what she and her father endured, it removed a lot of the emotional impact it should have had on the audience and made it difficult to empathize with her as a character.
All her talk and all the draggy episodes that ensued appear as needless meandering that breaks the show’s pace and play against its narration.

This being said, I do feel there’s a second reason why they’ve made that choice. We go through Wen Jie’s story as she’s telling it to our main character Wang Miao. It’s later revealed she’s a key member of a certain group she wants Wang Miao to join, hence all that storytelling felt in hindsight as a way of manipulating our main character to empathize with Wen Jie and make him understand her ideas…
The more we spend time with her past, the more it seems we were supposed to understand what she did…

But at the end of the day, that part was poorly executed and just didn’t have the desired effect on most viewers, me included.


Another small censorship comment


At the end of the drama, our good guys are supposed to get back some data on a boat. In order to get those, they cook up some complicated method to literally cut a whole boat in several slices, people onboard included. That plan of theirs came about 3 days BEFORE they had to execute it.
At some point Wang Miao who is behind the invention to slice the boat is raising concerns regarding the workers, he basically doesn’t want any harm to come to people who just don’t know who and what they’re working for. One US general ( or country Letter thing – no country is named in this drama… again for obvious censorship reasons) tells him not to worry since they’ve looked into it and all workers are the scum of the earth who have all committed atrocious crimes ( in 3 days?)…

This is blatant censorship playing again. China doesn’t want to show innocents being killed for the “greater good” and so the “enemy” has to be made “evil” for the sake of political propaganda (also no matter how shitty these people were supposed to be, it doesn’t necessarily mean that they would agree to doom humanity for money. Even the worst criminal on earth has a line they wouldn’t cross and I think dooming humanity fits the bill).

Again, this removes a strong emotional impact this could have had on the audience. Given the size of the threat, it would be understandable that if needs be, innocents are killed in the process of saving humanity from its impending doom, that would have highlighted the scale and moral dilemma of saving the world by killing the innocents… JUST LIKE the villains have doomed humanity, the guilty and the innocents alike, in the hope of saving LIFE on planet earth.

There was an interesting parallel to draw here, but the drama missed the mark due to censorship reasons. I have absolutely 0 doubt that the novel features a scene in which innocents are butchered on that boat in order to save humanity and I wish that parallel had been clearly shown here.


Ye Wen Jie and Mike Evans.

Coming back to Ye Wen Jie, her gesture of literally dooming humanity is explained by what she went through and what she saw which can be resumed as Humans lack of empathy and respect towards anything but themselves and endless greed that leads them to not only destroy their planet but also themselves. Mike Evans’ overall reasons for pursuing her agenda is the same, Humans are a lost cause…

And as much as I agree with the fact mentioned above ( and Trump’s reelection on top of the very alarming rise fascism, genocides happening in various countries without any coverage and those covered being basically “justified” by utter mass media manipulation, the fact that basically a billionaire made a nazi salute and is still able to parade everywhere without any politician or mass media saying anything and the environment going to shit without any major worldwide measure taken to save us and the upcoming generations from complete doom), I think the drama made it a point to show that these were just pretexts for them to vent their anger and resentment towards humanity as a whole.

Wen Jie can tell her story all she wants and try to pretend what she did was for LIFE, that it was for a greater cause, but at the end of day, she’s just a bitter old lady who took revenge on humanity as a whole for the wrongs she endured condemning the innocents and those who work behind the scenes to do good in spite of adversity. She’s never known warmth, neither from her mother and sister who betrayed her and her father, she went to some reeducation camp which from the few things I read were horrible places where lots of young people were sent, forced to work in poor conditions, with close to no pay, little medical care, little food and enduring physical abuse and torture, NONE of which were shown in the drama which only show people working as if it was “normal work”.

This is proven by Mike Evans who, clearly learned way more than Wen Jie, yet upon learning the aliens weren’t any better than humans, kept on going with his plan to ruin Humanity.

As far as I’m concerned they both should have their arms, legs, eyes, ears and tongue removed, put in a tiny space just tailored to their size and be fed through intravenous drip until they die. Sounds cruel? Well, when you’ve betrayed HUMANITY for your selfish reasons that pretty mild. Yet Wen Jie is having a nice walk in the park before going to prison for dooming us all.

Both Wen Jie and Mike Evans crossed a line that nobody has any right to cross. No amount of explanation can justify committing such a sin against humanity… and other species. Can they even guarantee these aliens will even respect other forms of life when their own world has always been shown as being barren in the first place?


I’m reaching the 10000 characters limit so I’ll be wrapping up things here.



______________________________________

CONCLUSION:

There’s LOTS of things that are worth talking about this drama. It’s flawed and suffers from a serious pacing problem but its such an interesting story that it deserves its accolades. I initially rated it 9 but ended up giving a 8,5 though for its horrendous pacing issues.
Not bingeable though.

Perfection

I am done seeing all 30 episodes and I have to praise its absolute perfection. Never had I imagined that I would sit at the edge of my seat to watch a ship pass through a channel in slow motion, as it happened in episode 29. All the production team was superb, and I was very glad to recognize actors Yu He Wei (here policeman Shi Qiang) and Edward Zhang (here scientist Wang Miao), whom I have seen before.
I first saw both of them in two outstanding epic movies dealing with Chinese history.
I saw Yu Hu Wei as Liu Bei, in the 2010 masterpiece production of "Three Kingdoms", and Edward Zhang, as Ying Zheng or the first emperor of all China, in the 2020 production of "Qin Dinasty Epic".
So, it is quite a leap from history renditions to the SciFi genre, but boy, what a leap both actors have made! Cudos!

For Science Enthusiasts: 'Three Body' Is a Must-Watch Drama

Three Body was unlike any drama that I have watched before, however I really enjoyed the technical aspect of the show including all the physics. If you've ever studied physics or have knowledge about it, this drama is really great as you're able to understand the contents a lot better compared to someone that hasn't. It's very interesting, and I really loved how the entire show was put together and I'm eager for the continuation. I did feel like it did drag a bit in terms of the length but I also do think its necessary to be able to properly explain everything, without glossing over important details and depth. Wang Miao and Shi Qiang made such a funny duo, I loved their scenes and interactions together as they're essentially stark opposites that compliment each other very well. For some reason, I really liked Xu Bing Bing, I found her to be a really cool and strong cop that made up Shi Qiang's entire force because that was all he needed because she was that great. Overall, I think in terms of recommendations, only a specific niche of people would thoroughly enjoy and understand the depth of this drama but it definitely deserves all the praise it has received.

A Faithful But Lackluster Adaptation of A Popular Sci-Fi Novel

Took me a while to write a review for Three Body because I honestly don't know how to start. All I know is that it's a deeply provocative drama about the nature of man. The drama is based on the Hugo Awardee science fiction novels by Liu Cixin entitled The Three Body Problem. It was also adapted by the same dudes who nuked Game of Thrones for Netflix. Sorry, I chose to forget their names. Hahahaha. I haven't seen that one yet so I can't say anything about that, but this C-drama version doesn't skimp on the science aspects of it. In fact, it never forgets to school you about physics, nanotechnology, space science, and so on. But the very core of this drama is about the good and evil side of humanity, our triumphs, failures, ability to create and destroy, and inability to appreciate life itself and see past our own flaws. The story follows an idealistic scientist specializing in nanotechnology and a scrappy police officer determined to get to the bottom of a series of murders connected to a particular cult-ish organization. At the center of this is a highly intelligent but troubled woman who made a regrettable mistake in her youth that led to a catastrophic mess involving the fate of humanity.

I like the drama for the most part as it is so brilliantly written that you'll either feel as if your IQ has increased after learning so much sciencey stuff or you're dumb AF because you can't comprehend any of it. Hahahaha! The characters are also well-fleshed out that I couldn't bring myself to hate even the antagonistic ones. Production-wise, it's pretty good but you can really tell that this drama could've used more budget for the CGI stuff. I found the computer generated imagery used in the scenes where they were inside the Three Body game very clunky and distractingly bad. The CGI versions of the characters showed very little emotion and moved awkwardly, I thought. They should've just used real actors for those scenes, it would've looked a lot better. This is one of the reasons I found the “game” scenes flat and dull. Another complaint of mine is they spend too much time inside the game with the characters being played by those horrid CGI versions of them. It was not interesting at all! I found myself dozing off every time they entered the game.

As a whole, this is a solid 8 drama and that's already a generous rating. The reason why I can't give it a higher score is because of the pacing. I watched the shortened version of the drama, cut down from 30 episodes in total to just 26, but I still found myself getting bored because of the slow pacing. I also felt that they should've made the science stuff more accessible to the masses, spelled it out in laymen's terms so to speak. I'm not saying they should've dumbed things down, just made them more comprehensible to those who aren't as well-versed in science. I understood the science elements for the most part but some flew over my head, and some I just didn't care for because I didn't feel like understanding them anyway. I was sick and tired of hearing the actors drone on and on about this and that. I think maybe the Netflix version did a better job at this. I haven't watched it yet so we'll see. But if you're into science, especially physics, then you'll appreciate this more, I suppose.

Physics is Dead.

THREE-BODY (The Three Body Problem) is a psychological Chinese science fiction series about humanity's first contact and the subsequent invasion of a mysterious and an highly advanced alien civilization. It is a highly slow paced series, heavy with dialogue and concepts. The series starts slow, then slowly builds momentum, and then gradually picks up speed, offering some incredibly compelling subject matter, story and concepts in the process. This is a highly intriguing and intelligent series, based on the likewise brilliant book series by Cixin Liu, "Three-Body Problem".

This Cdrama was very interesting, but perhaps more suitable for people interested in hard science and scientific theory rather the usual light hollywood-esque space/alien sci-fi generally pumped out in other modern cinema. This story isn't really about the aliens, at least not in the sense of traditional "alien" science fiction. It is a very slow burn story. THREE-BODY has more depth and certainly expects the viewer to think and follow along, not just watch. The story is diluted only a little due to the book-to-film process, otherwise it contains much original dialogue, theories, story developments etc. The complex story is well portrayed, and quite mind-bending at times.

While at times the show can seem a bit dry, especially in the beginning (being somewhat heavy with dialogue and scientific conecpt), it definitely picks up speed as the series progresses, though it could never really be called fast-paced. Personally, I respect that about this series. It intends to retell the story the way it is most suitably told, as closely to the method that the author used. While certainly high quality, it doesn't seek to flash and awe, and never stoops to alter its content in order to sell or appeal to general audiences.

THREE-BODY never feels overly rushed or underdone as some series these days often tend to be. I enjoyed almost everything about it. The visuals and aesthetics are high quality and for the most part stunning, the music vastly suitable, and the casting was well-fitted to the characters in the book. The story really captivates and draws you in, keeping you entangled in its complexity and subtleties. Gotta love this gorgeous yet intellectual drama.

As Interesting and Beautiful as it is Overlong and Sleep-Inducing

This is a weird duck. And so bullets --

1. The production quality is really movie like, especially in the flashback sequences set around the Red Coast. The only time it strangely looks like Cheesy TV is during the International Board Room meetings

2. This is post modern Arthur C. Clarke/Issac Asimov stuff, where the science is science fiction is meant to be your only entertainment. As a kid in the mid-70s, I read this type of SCIENCE fiction a lot but in no time backed off of it because they were slow lifeless reads. All good stories are about the human condition. THREE BODY had the perfect opportunity to explore this very topic because a character within makes a major decision about humanity -- yet -- it barely touched upon it.

(There's a funny irony here. Okay, when I was a kid I was reading a monthly Sci-Fi magazine called ANALOG. There was a story once about a really cool concept but the story itself was dull beyond imagination. It was simply an excuse to share a hard science idea and make anyone go WOW.

The idea was that if man could manufacture a strong enough material that was also very lightweight -- we could build an elevator shaft from Earth and attach it to a satellite in space, hence eliminating rockets. Imagine -- you could have a giant bar in space that people would travel up to for the wildest cocktails ever. And imagine the damn view of Earth and Space!

I forget most of what I read in that magazine over the decades -- except for this. And the same exact concept is mentioned inside of THREE BODY in one episode. And so... I was either reading this Chinese author all those years ago... OR... he was reading Analog magazine, lol.)

3. So many characters just... stood there. It was like COVID all over again where no one was allowed to touch anybody, social distancing, you know? Yes, of course, it's trite to create a love story just to make it like any other Chinese drama -- but this one really needed it. BADLY. If it doesn't matter later in the series, I would have made the ML a FL scientist -- so that -- there would have been some sexual tension between the lead and our favorite cop ever, Shi Qiang (Yu He Wei). That said --

4. -- if it wasn't for this cast I would have walked after six episodes. I knew two of them from other dramas (Yu He Wei, REBEL PRINCESS and he was even better here) and (Johnny Zhang who was better in THE GREAT CRAFTSMAN). I loved being introduced to Chen Jin and Wang Zi Wen, two ladies who masterfully played Ye Wen Jie in two different eras.

5. In general this show literally induces sleep. I'm not kidding but there were about 12 nights I had to fight from sleeping to finish it. Perfect for early day viewing but it's Ambien after 9PM. I'm not being mean, this is the truth. The characters rarely clash with each other, they're often shown in shadows in dim rooms, and there's this droning song at the end of most episodes which could best be described as a Trisolorian Lullably.

6. Okay so our lead dude with the glasses has a special clock that ticks and ticks downward. Was I asleep when it got 'turned off' or did they simply forget to show us where the clock was by the end of his part of the series. I thought our Trisolorians were going to arrive just as his clock reached zero.

I'm happy I saw this and somehow I want to see the 2nd Season of this but I can't recommend it with any enthusiasm. Oh, and I don't give a damn about how good the books are -- because I'm not reading the book. I'm watching a series. If the series puts me to sleep, they either picked the wrong series of books or they've made the series way too long.

A third of THREE BODY should have been clicked and erased to make the rest of this stronger.

An Amazing Series But Not For Everyone

This series may at first seem to be a boring one, but the more episodes there are, the more interesting it will be. There is new informations in each episode, from the first episode to the last episode. Many things in this series seem strange, but in the end, everything has become as transparent as water. Gradually, the plot was opened. In the story, science has simply explained the complex issues. The series has created a good base for the second book, Dark Forest.

BGM, music was very good. Cinematography, colorgrading, and VFX are all very good. Don't find any shortage in the acting. Episode 3,5 was amazing. You will find a big twist in episode 7, who did not read books or plot details. episode 13/14 will introduce something new, which makes the series more interesting. Episode 21,25,28,29,30 are very good. The Main 2 character's last scene and speech were very beautiful; it was the most unforgettable moment in the series. Apart from this, the series was so beautiful that I took so many screen shots.

The Three Body's problem is its non existent scifi plot!

This review contains spoilers so don't read it if you intend to watch this series either way.
I have read the book that the series is based on.




The problem of Three Body series is its uneven and self cancelling sci fi plot that follows closely the book that it is equally uneven and badly constructed. The book and the series are full of interesting ideas and scientific information, but it is obvious that the author of the book on which the series are based on, was not able to manage and develop properly his ideas and his material ending up having a flimsy plot that doesn't stand on its own and it needs a lot of special effects and complicated explanations in order to make sense.

The scifi plot lies on the imaginary Trisolar planet whose inhabitants have a non linear civilization, a civilization that is progressing in "episodes" due to the unpredictable way that their planet is destroyed constantly and it is literally reborn from its ashes. ( which is a very interesting idea btw).
All the rest of the plot and the subplots and characters and their actions take place on Earth and can be explained with many alternative ways. There is f.e a cult that believes that the aliens are coming to invade the Earth and is inspired by the ideas of a rather psychologically disturbed scientist. There are scientists that commit suicide and others that get killed. There are strange phenomena that are happening and make scientists hallucinating. There is a cop that is trying with unconventional methods to solve the mysterious deaths of the scientists. In other words loads of interesting ideas that could make the plot suspenseful without relying in complicated pseudoscientific explanations that mash up all about everything. From alien life,to environmental distraction, to particle accelerators! ( ok... whatever)

Instead the whole story about the Trisolar planet, turns out that is just an assumption made by the characters of the books, enhanced with plenty of fantasy presented into a VR game and there is nothing else in the book and nothing in the series to support and make realistic the whole Trisolar planet plot, other than the claims of the disturbed female scientist main character about the exchange of just four messages that supposedly are the base of this messy plot.

The messages go as following:

Message 1/ (Earth people send a message to space with the hope that someone will answer it).
"Hello we are from planet Earth and we have a multicultural civilization here and we are looking to contact other civilizations".

Message 2/ (An alien civilization replies:)
Don't send another message because we will come to conquer you. ( why??!)

Message 3/(The disturbed female scientist replies).
Do come and conquer us because we can't solve our own problems and our world is in a mess and we need the expertise of your civilization, ( that according the way that WE imagine that your civilization is, can't solve not even your problems),

Message 4/(The Aliens reply).
Ok we are coming. We'll be there in 450 earth years! In between will destroy with some sort of advanced technology (that we have but we don't use it to save our lives and our planet), your science in order not to be able to confront us when and if will manage to come, because we are considering you the equivalent of bugs!

Now how both of these civilizations came up to these conclusions is not explained.
Neither how the Earth people acquired information about the history and the environment of the Trisolar planet. Or how the Trisolarians figured out that Earth is suitable for them from this correspondence.

I assume that by now you can see what is the problem of the scifi plot.
That there is no actual scifi plot! Or there is one that of some aliens that are coming....!

This series though has an expensive production, some great acting, some very touching scenes by the actresses that play Ye Wen Jie, some very light criticism towards the Chinese Cultural Revolution ( Destruction) - in not to offend Zi Xiping I assume- and that's about all. I could go on and on and on writing about the plot holes of the sub plots, and the awful last episodes, but its meaningless.

The sci fi plot is not there and the VR game that we are forced to watch through the eyes of its players is boring as hell and has bad CGI. This demo didn't persuade me to buy the equipment that is needed in order to play it.


5.5 out of 10 from me for the whole concept.

Based on an authoritarian propaganda piece

My main reason for dropping the title is that the book plot eventually revolves around war and authoritarian regimes and normalises xenophobia. We can further understand the mindset of the author, Liu Cixin, for his statement defending the Chinese government's mistreatment and mass internment of its Uighur Muslim population.

Speaking on the show, it's a slow moving story with multiple repetitions, eg. "The scientists are killing themselves!" every so often which was unnecessary. The people investigating these suicides don't really seem to care nor have any intelligence capabilities. It all rests on one scientist to act as a spy agent and provide them with answers and a cop that acts as his handler. Three Body is based on the first of three books. 30 episodes is overdoing it for an already slow moving plot.

The aspect that originally attracted me was the science which the series then proceeds to drive the point that "physics isn't real", again repeatedly.

Up to the mid of the 9th episode, the women in the series don't seem to serve much purpose apart from minor roles and eye candy. An apparently talented female officer is treated like a maid and 'errand boy' while doing the work of 10 men and not paid much (by her own admission). So much for equality.

There's also a game which seems pointless. One of the benefits of a computer is it allows us to do calculations and run simulations at a faster rate than a human would take. If a pattern exists, a computer would likely find it as long as some basic information is provided. The game offers no insight towards a solution. It's just added CGI effects to further drag the plot along that explains nothing. With every episode you are left with more questions than answers.

After reading the author's disdain for other humans, I didn't feel the need to watch further and it pretty much killed my curiosity. If these things don't bother you, you might be able to enjoy this lengthy series.

It could have been better

I saw the first 2 episodes and didn't like what I saw. Stuff that was not in the book and that didn't add anything to the story was already visible then, so I said to myself I'd rather wait for the Netflix production. But then some of my best (Chinese) friends convinced me to give it another try as they were it watching it every day. So I continued until ep.6 and then I had enough when falling asleep twice while watching the episodes because the series is so slow. Really really slow. Why not take something out of the "Korean Playbook" and make just 16 or 18 episodes? Cut out the fluff and you should be fine. Anyway, then there are the usual exaggerated reactions that some people in the series have to completely mundane situations, familiar to anyone watching Chinese series, and the insisting on trivial matters to the point of getting on one's nerves, again just like with most Mainland series. The disconnect between how people live and act in China nowadays and what they present in their series is getting bigger and bigger everyday. You can see it with constantly the same stories, the horrible ageism and even in hyped up series like this one. I'll stick with the Korean series for the time being.

Una parola sola, eccezionale! Ma prima è meglio leggere il libro!

Un drama eccezionale, perfetto adattamento cinematografico del libro, con un dispiego di mezzi e quindi risorse economiche non indifferente.
Una fantascienza diversa da quella che amo e alla quale sono abituata (vedi Asimov, Heinlein, P. K. Dick ecc) ma intrigante e introspettiva.
E' un drama lento perché rispetta fedelmente il racconto dello scrittore, perfettamente rappresentato in ogni sua parte: vengono persino riportate intere frasi dal libro.
Ottimamente interpretato, dall'introverso e gentile scienziato esperto in nanomateriali Wang Miao, all'esplosivo ed eclettico poliziotto Shi Qiang il quale con la sua intelligenza razionale e meno raffinata rispetto a quella del corpo scientifico, infonde il coraggio per continuare a lottare e non arrendersi. Le risorse della Natura sono quelle che meglio di tutte dimostrano che la resa è per i deboli, mentre i forti, i perseveranti, vincono.
La ribelle fisica Ye Wenjie dà l'avvio ad un cambiamento totale del futuro dell'umanità, credendo di darle una opportunità di redenzione per tutte le ingiustizie che perpetra nei confronti del nostro Pianeta, ma che se in mano a personaggi fanatici e senza scrupoli, ne decreta la fine.
E' consigliabile leggere prima il libro, di non facile lettura lo ammetto, e poi vedere questo stupendo drama, il quale farà luce a parti spesso incomprensibili per chi non è studioso di certe materie scientifiche.
Un binomio quello di libro e drama che si completano l'un l'altro.
La ost è superlativa! Musiche di Xueran Chen, un compositore, musicista e cantante eccezionale. Tutte dedicate a seconda del momento in cui la storia si svolge, un lavoro non indifferente.
Sono rimasta stupita per l'accuratezza della produzione, per gli effetti visivi, per il la realizzazione delle locations passate e di quelle future e del videogioco.
Ora non ci rimane che sperare nella realizzazione cinematografica degli altri due libri di Liu Cixin al quale va un grande applauso per questo capolavoro! Grazie come sempre ai sottotitolatori. Ottima traduzione dal cinese anche dei testi musicali! Bravissimi.
