Netflix’s “The Three-Body Problem” Poster Criticized by Netizens for Being Too Abstract and Scary
Yesterday, Netflix released multiple character posters for its upcoming drama version of “The Three-Body Problem.” While the design style was praised for its imagination, it also faced criticism from many netizens, especially for the poster featuring Da Shi.
Netizens expressed their disapproval, stating that the design was too abstract and reminiscent of the horror style of Junji Ito. Some even admitted to being scared by the poster, describing the special effects as poor and comparing them to only being at a 50% level.
The show is set to premiere on March 21, and the true test of its quality will be revealed then. IGN recently gave the series an 8-point rating, praising it for reshaping Liu Cixin’s masterpiece trilogy for a wider audience. However, some viewers may find the sci-fi style and certain plot elements a bit tedious.
Despite these criticisms, the chilling performances and shocking twists in the adaptation make it worth a watch. The plot follows a young woman’s decision in 1960s China that sets off a series of events across time and space, ultimately leading to a group of modern-day scientists working together to resolve a significant threat to humanity.
As the laws of nature unravel before their eyes, these scientists must once again join forces to tackle the greatest threat in human history. Stay tuned for the premiere of “The Three-Body Problem” on Netflix to see if it lives up to expectations.
