3 Body Problem trailer and plot 

Liu Cixin’s book The Three Body Problem is the first book in the Remembrance of the Earth’s Past trilogy, although the series itself is mostly known as The Three Body Problem. The plot of the series revolves around an astrophysicist named Ye Wenjie, who witnesses the brutal murder of her father during the Chinese Cultural Revolution. Later in life, she is sent to a secret radar base by the military due to her scientific background. There, she makes a fateful decision to send a message that goes across time and space. Years later, a group of scientists in the present day are forced to battle the greatest threat ever faced by humanity due to Wenjie’s decision. 

The two trailers for the series are packed with insane visuals fitting for the mind-bending plot of the series. The use of foreshadowing in the trailers alone is pretty impressive. In a video where the cast of the show discusses their roles in the movie, we get to know that five of the most brilliant scientific minds from Oxford University, known as the Oxford Five will be a big part of the plot. The death of major scientists and the impending doom threatening humanity will force a lot of people to come together across space and time to save mankind. First reviewers had great things to say about the series which is coming to Netflix on 21st March.
