I want to keep watching the Chinese sci-fi series Three Body but episode 11 has captioning out of sync for several minutes starting in the middle. So I’m stuck waiting for Amazon Prime Video to fix it.
The series is just so damned good. No dystopian bullshit. The nations of the world coming together to solve a problem. The problem is scary as shit. It’s proper sci-fi meaning interesting ideas are explored; it’s not just another nighttime soap opera.
I really enjoyed it too. The camera felt a little too excited sometimes (for example the scene where he puts the goggles on and sees the CMB flashing - the camera just sort of orbits around him and stuff for a while) and some visuals were a little too artistic (and I don't mean the VR game, but the intro and such).
We're definitely lacking good, non-dystopian sci-fi these days, and in general I feel that high budget Western productions have gotten really stale and predictable. So this one is a nice break!
