3 Body Problem Trailer Is Epic In Scale

“There must be 30 dead scientists in the past month.”

The trailer for Netflix’s sci-fi fantasy thriller “3 Body Problem” opens on a somber note, with a team investigating the mysterious deaths of scientists, making it seem like a sci-fi horror movie teaser. However, as the seconds pass, it becomes evident that it’s an epic fantasy fiction tale about an alien race plotting to take over Earth.

Adapted from the book series of the same name by Liu Cixin, the live-action version is crafted by David Benioff, D.B. Weiss, and Alexander Woo. While the trailer maintains an air of mystery for most parts, the basic plot is about how the world’s brightest scientists are succumbing to an unknown force. The scientists first suffer strange visions of numbers, resembling a countdown, and then wind up dead.

Boasting an ensemble cast and a genre-blending narrative that incorporates elements of horror, science fiction, time travel, murder mystery, and alien invasion, “3 Body Problem” appears poised to deliver an epic larger-than-life story. For fans of the book series, the adaptation holds the promise of bringing Liu Cixin’s compelling narrative to the screen in a visually stunning and gripping manner.
