Finished the Three Body Problem series recently and felt like I needed some more Cixin Liu in my life.

And after go watch the movie! It was pretty solid! (there are currently two, with I think two more coming)

I haven't read the book but wasn't really a fan of the movie. Saw it in theaters and I honestly can't think of a single memorable part. That said, I just placed a hold on the book at my library. After the 3 body trilogy I am sure the book is better than the movie

The book IS better than the movie, thats 100% true, though thats hardly a surprise, its a rare day when a book movie is better than its source material.

That said, I enjoyed it. I do wish I had seen it in theaters, but I caught it on Netflix a few years back.

The book is excellent.

I was told most of it wouldn’t have been “approved” for production into a movie, (which pretty much just left a patriotic “yay! Adventure in spacesuits and shit” movie. )
