3 Body Problem | Inside the End of Judgment Day | Netflix
/ @netflixbehindthestreams
Across continents and decades, five brilliant friends make earth-shattering discoveries as the laws of science unravel and an existential threat emerges.
That scene was so well done and I really liked how it focused on Auggie’s feeling. "It’s not working!" "It is.." You can have the craziest shit happening on screen, but if there’s no human drama to relate to, then it’s going to be empty spectacle. That’s not what was done here and that’s why it was so impactful!
yeah they've found the best way to describe her feeling by just two words, instead of making Auggie said some dramatic sh!t
Also, I appreciate the cuts (pun not intended) between footage from the river and from the observation room. The river is loud, and the room is silent. You see what the characters are seeing on the monitors. There's that chilling disconnect, where they are responsible for this suffering, and they're shielded from most of the visceral impact by not hearing it and observing through monitors.
That scene was genius and utterly terrifying.
I'm very happy they didn't show any of the children being massacred, because the foot was enough after seeing what it did to the rest of the ship. This is sci-fi horror at its most disturbing.
Agreed. I don't want to see that on screen.
Thank you so much. I've been avoiding the episode because I didn't know if they would show that. Could you tell me how bad the depiction is of the people being sliced apart? I can handle copious amounts of blood but not the sight of organs and brains and shit
@@Pendergeist I didn't think you were talking to me, but the deaths were quick and gory. They showed several people being sliced through individually, then multiple people at the same time in crowds while they were running from the unseen threat. The way the VFX were done, you almost couldn't tell what was specifically happening to them, it was like their bodies just crumpled apart in a bloody mess. They did not show this happening to any children, though, just a reaction from someone seeing a child's foot.
@@PendergeistIf it helps, there was slow lead-up to every human that gets cut down as you see watch the 'wave' of things getting cut approaching them, which meant I was able to look away at the right moment every time and not see anything I didn't want to. I didn't know until this comment that they didn't show any kid die, since I looked away just in case.
@@Pendergeist The scene is extremely gory. When the camera goes inside the ship to show the massacre, it's very quick but you can clearly see bodies completely breaking apart and viscera dumping across the floor. Also, a twisted detail that makes this scene even more horrifying, you can catch glimpses of body parts and even a man's face being sliced apart further milliseconds after falling apart. This is, by far, one of the most gruesome scenes ever to be filmed.
This was a BRUTAL scene. It really showcased the imagination of the creators.
U mean liu cixin
@@alongj8512didn't know he was involved in the adaptation
@@pulpfictihe literally wrote this scene.
@@CharlieCharlie88 show’s depiction is different from the books at least. It’s a much more quiet scene in the books
@@pulpfictihe is a consultant for the show. But we don't know how much he is involved.
That leg at the end was rough to watch. You knew hundreds of children were killed.
I love Raj always being in his Uniform.
Hope there is going to be a season 2.
You'd think they would've announced the green light for the 2nd season by now. Given Netflix past history I'm surprised they haven't cancelled it by now.
Given the location and nature of the event, that site would have a smell that would likely live with you forever.
i was going to comment the same......
This scene was the most horrifying thing ever. It was so well done. I really loved the show, I heard it's based on a book trilogy and that this first season adapted the first book. I really hope for the love of God that Netflix adapts all 3 books and doesn't cancel it like they did 1899. I love mind-boggling shows like this, 3 body problems, 1899 etc... I still hope a miracle will happen and 1899 will be unconcealed but don't think it will happen. Just hope 3 body problem get the green light for the 2 other book adaptations.
Watching 3 Body Problem reminded me of how much I enjoyed 1899, it was so unique. It was so wrong to cancel that show, it's by the people that made Dark, you gotta let them cook!
as a fan of the books, if you enjoyed the show for the concepts, then you should really consider reading the books. the books are a lot more focused on ideas while the show dumbed down some of the science and was more interested in telling a story with a focus on characters. the first season adapted book 1 and part of book 2 but i would really recommend reading the entire series since the pacing and feeling of the books is wildly different from the show.
The books have some characters that interact with each other, but mostly deal with the same world events, so the show actually adapted parts of all three books in the first season so that the audience would be following along chronologically. The books jump around more with the timeline which might have been more confusing to the viewers.
This level of destruction is not what I imagined when read the first book. I knew what was going to happen but it still gave me goosebumps. Best episode in season one
imo the level of destruction seems grander in the books. this felt mini to me
@@spinner735how? They even added more people including kids on the ship. In the book it was just mike Evan’s and a bunch of unnamed soldiers. This felt significantly grander on every level
@@seancarterx just in how grand it felt. i got goosebumps while reading for sure. when watching it in the show all I could think about was how mediocre the vfx are. (I'm a vxf guy)
@@spinner735 maybe you feel that way because you are the vfx guy??
@@HRLastro what and honor thank you lol
I loved the way they adapted this scene; In the book and also in the Tencent series, they kept the chopping of the boat very, very sterile. While the book protagonist, Wang Miao (his role in this scene is portrayed by the character Augustina Salazar), did have moral reservations about his involvement in developing the nanofiber that was used in this way and lamented the fact that innocent people were getting killed, the massive loss of life that happens from destruction of the Judgement Day is never portrayed on-page and everybody just gets over it, being super happy they were able to extract the hard drive. The series really improved upon this, in my opinion, also showing how terrifying it was for those aboard to have been caught unprepared and totally helpless in the wake of this weapon, which is technologically so superior compared to conventional 21st century martial methods. Also how they placed this whole society on the tanker along side Evans, showing how much collateral innocent* human life the government was prepared to sacrifice in their struggle to achieve victory over the San Ti. Great, loved this episode, love the series, well done showrunners and writers.
@@asanokatana True, book Evans appeared to had no love for people, and the crew were all his ETO cronies; but I think that in the Netflix show, he is also the same character, spiteful of people, it is just shown how charismatic of a leader he is. After all, he was the actual "commander" and leader of the ETO while Ye Wenjie was the "spiritual" leader -- In the books, it seems he achieved and maintained that status primarily because he was extremely wealthy and could finance all that stuff, which while plausible, is way less believable than how they chose to develop him in the series (further establishing his "claim" for being the leader by getting romantically involved with Ye Wenjie and him being the father of Vera Ye / Yang Dong) (book spoiler zone) Why they chose to put all those "innocents civilians" on the ship in the series is also to develop Wade and Raj Varma (Zhang Beihai from the books) and basically preface the lengths they (and the government) will have to go to try to ensure survival for humanity, namely Zhang Beihai space assassinations and Wade's Xin attempted assassination and the Great Ravine..
@@asanokatana He's the leader of a genocidal cult, the kindly grandfather bit helps sell the idea of the Santi purifying our world
@@asanokatana do remember the book had to go through chinese censors, the bad guys had to be bad and deserve death or the book would not be published. Netflix scene is more realistical, cults are made of different people including families..
@@asanokatana Ehh.. not really. I don't think a lot of people sympathize with cult leaders, particularly with so many cult documentaries on Netflix.
The director was super effective in executing this sequence. It didn't fetishise the violence. It communicated a strong sense of dread and emotional trauma.
It was one of the grossest and best special effects I've seen in a movie
This scene was trully incredible and very well done... its very emotional and heartbroken seeing all the ppl being simply cut to pieces...
Initially hearing about this show, I was immediately skeptical and disregarded it. Remembrance of Earth is one of my favorite Sci-fi series of all time, and after actually watching through this adaptation, I was pleasantly surprised, and I enjoyed it, despite how different it was from the original novels.
as a scientist, she is really taking good care of her skin
Ghost Ship (2002) movie basically had this type of deaths, so yeah "Eiza" we kinda saw it, but in much smaller scale...
one of my favorite scenes of all time
You might think I am exagerrating stufds but the moment those nano fibers started cutting people and interiors inside the Judgement Day ship I dropped my jaws, widenned my eyes & held my breath untill the layers of Judgement Day are falling on the banks of the canal😮 it was insane, it was gore, it was totally shocking, it was sad, it was definitely a massacre 😮
I do hope Series 2 is not far away!
This scene is fantastic
everything i could have ever wanted. thank you
I was... speechless.
not only were they massacred by the government agency, but they were first abandoned by their overlords while remaining fully faithful
Their overlords are asshole
That was one silent massacre.
Ghost Ship (2002) and the Chinese show did it first. But you made it disgustingly epic
i've not read the books, so im not sure how close the netflix content is to the source material... but i don't understand why this plan even existed. They wanted to capture data, so they decide to completely mince up a ship risking cutting up the target? ... and then afterwards when shes walking around, WHY?? shes so traumatised but she decides to go have a look? (the smell would have been horrendous too)
Justification in the book is that the fibres are so tiny that any potential slice through the hard drive would be so clean that restoring it would be trivial
0:27 Yes, we have never seen anything like this before.
I have. Last year in fact. except everyone was chinese and the VFX looked a bit cheaper (but still damn impressive)
hóng mùa 2 quá đi mất ❤
That scene was epic!
I was cut up when I saw this,
This ep and the part where the lethality of the nano fiber was fully unleash cements this series as a winner for me ❤
All due respect to Minkie Spiro, but the Tencent China version visually pulled it off with a combination of practical fx and CGI too --and they did it within a much smaller budget. This isn't to say whether this one was better or the Chinese one was. The film makers made different choices in how that chapter was narratively told and envisioned, but were about equal in my estimation. The cascading collapse of the Judgment Day and its beaching, were almost identical in terms of camera angles and editing, but the Netflix version was a little more photo-realistic in its depiction.
The Tencent version I thought didn't look as good and the entire show has this weird filter on it the whole time like I'm watching the show CSI
Tencent was great. One thing is the CGI budget was clearly less on all counts. IDK pretend it was made in 2004 and you'll be alright, i don't really care about that kind of thing.
Hey, you're talking to the person from Netflix, right, so you could tell him that I can do the voice for Woody Wallpequé in Latin Spanish.
Someone saw Resident Evil corridor scene and said “Lets make it 1000 times better”
Nice call, thing things haunted my childhood lol.
Ghost Ship
Excellent series. I recommend it.
it's equivalent to the Red wedding in GoT
Every person has his own brand on justice
bro got sliced like a sashimi 💀
I wanna see BTS of the rehydrate scene
How could this cost more to produce than GOT? Just renew the 2nd season already
It's cool and all but why did they have to use nanofibers (which was a new and experimental tech) instead of missiles or explosives
Because missiles and explosives could have damaged the red hardware,using nanofibers was much safer since even if the nanofibers damaged the hardware it could be repaired since the nanofibres cuts were so fine.
They needed the piece of hardware inside. Missiles would have destroyed it and a raid would be obvious enough to give them time to destroy the hardware. It had to be done quick and clean
그렇지만 결국 불이 났는데 다 소용없는거 아닌가
3:37 they painted out the torn leg of the little girl.
True, would probably change the rating of the video on youtube if they had shown stuff as it is in the episode.
forgive me, my lord
Well, they definitely won't do anything worse than that in this series.
If the book had black or Latino characters, Netflix wouldn't dare change their race. But somehow Asians are fair game.
The show creators passed all that by Liu Cixin, the actual author, so calm yourself.
Give context: Why did they choose this method, and not simply send 2-3 spies?
lol isnt that 2 hack fraud from game of throne lol... the ending of the series gonna be sax ass lol
I must admit, I was pleasantly surprised with this series. After so much toxic WOKE non-sense,this felt relaxing and worth to watch until the end!
Lol relaxing
ETO salad 😋

So the villain was holding hard drive in his hand so whats the point of so much death.
I believe the point is to read the book or watch the series and find out.
@@CaravanseraiSouthValley sir i know what's in the hard drive . i mean when they were destroying the ship the villain was holding the hard drive why not just destroy it . point of the nano thread was to destroy the ship silently and while leaving the hard drive in place but the villain was holding it in his hand its like he was protecting and saving it for government. did he change his mind at the end to betray the so called lords . Tencent tv series ship scene make more scene thn Netflix .
@@malakadil It’s not clear why he did that. I found it odd too. But then I remembered that much of the data in a solid state drive can still be recovered even if the drive is cut.
@@CaravanseraiSouthValley yah but that was not SSD it was a quantum drive and he knew that humans can not decrypt it , san ti help human read it .
@@malakadil If the Sun Ti helped humans manufacture it, then I’d imagine it would be much more robust than our current standards.
Dumb and dumber deliver again. Show lacked mystery and suspense, it also felt very confined to a few scientists and location, when it's supposed to be worldwide.
You wouldn’t like the book then. The book stays in Beijing more than the show stays in London
It was a valiant effort, but I still don't think this scene has been done correctly. The in camera in ship scenes were good, the overall vfx was heavily lacking
Why did they add children? Why did they make it extra gory? The book and the Chinese Tencent version did not have this explicit graphic detail and the ship wasn't a daycare. This is pornographic gore for the sake of pornographic gore. It didn't add to the story telling but instead made it more difficult to watch with teenagers. Shock value, that's all this is.
Tencent version didn't even have the Cultural revolution scene even though they made 30 fecking episodes lol
why are the best movies rated R? because profanity, gore, and other extremes of human experience are what happen in real life, and when you censor real life you limit the realism and emotional impact of your movie or show.
Because that's life! I'd rather have the consequences of actions shown in full rather have a fanciful view of the world wrapped in bubble wrap. Military decisions like this scene have real people die, in real gory fashion. It gives weight to the human cost of the decisions made.
@@pulpficti We're talking about the gore .🙄
@@peekaboopeekaboo1165 what gore? It's just showing the horrors of new inventions.
the vfx is next level bad.
Trash
You first.
Trash comments from Trash people with Trash brain who's literally just write Trash instead good critic or argument.
It was disguasting
The show is lagging behind One Piece and Last Airbender, 81 million hours vs. 140 and 150 million views...... so we go to get our friends and family to watch, otherwise no second season.
Those are shows that even children can watch. The viewing hours will be taken into context of the R rating of the show.
@@myth3516 yeah, that makes sense, and I hope that’s a factor 🤞
