Off topic. Do you have any movie suggestion close or related to this book? I've seen The Martian, 2001 Space Od, Interstellar, and Event Horizon.

- pcardoso 4y agoI liked The Three Body problem. The story is very good, but it was also interesting to read the Chinese point of view.
- robertlagrant 4y agoSunshine? I watched a review of it[0] recently and it took me back to when I watched it at the cinema. [0] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3QdcvfXMHk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3QdcvfXMHk
- oillio 4y agoAwesome movie. The cinematography is beautiful
- robertlagrant 4y agoSo good. And the cast. From memory, the third act doesn't quite live up to the first two, but I struggle to imagine how it could've.
- unsupp0rted 4y agoCritical Drinker made me realize a couple years ago that I'm not crazy and movies really are generally unwatchable these days, with a handful of exceptions, many of which he points out.

- TEP_Kim_Il_Sung 4y agoI take it you've never heard of Frank Zappa's daughter? https://www.rottentomatoes.com/celebrity/moon_unit_zappa https://www.rottentomatoes.com/celebrity/moon_unit_zappa
- TeaBrain 4y agoI took that as being their joke.
- moffkalast 4y agoSeconding that.
- ryandvm 4y agoWe Are Legion (We Are Bob) - Yes, the name is terrible, but the book series is actually quite good if you like hard sci-fi. It has that "written-by-an-ex-software-dev" vibe that is so popular around here.
- causi 4y agoI love the Bob series, but I'd recommend against it if you don't have a high tolerance for characters who are supposed to be extremely intelligent missing blindingly obvious solutions to problems.
- johnbellone 4y agoThat sounds like real life.
- causi 4y agoYeah but in real life you could grab somebody and yell "Oh my god, stop moping about how scared you are of explosives and just put a goddamn steel blade on your flying murder-drones so they're not one-use-only."
- FredPret 4y agoI feel like such a drone would need quite a bit of heft to offset swinging the blade - like the motorcycles in Daniel Suarez's Daemon. A drone with a gun would get thrown about as it shoots. Missiles, lasers, EMP, and explosives seem like the most practical drone weapons.
- causi 4y agoYeah but in the book he's literally having to ration his drones because he can't figure out how to kill a gorilla any way except suicidally ramming them head-on.

- capableweb 4y agoWorth mentioning: Project Hail Mary is being made into a movie, will be adapted by Drew Goddard who also adapted The Martian. Read the book a while ago, didn't realize it was being made into a movie until recently, maybe others are unaware too. I'm eagerly optimistic :)

- jibe 4y agoUnderrated low budget movie.
- wonderwonder 4y agoSunshine. Awesome movie
- hiidrew 4y agoArrival! It's a great movie, but I don't want to explain too much. Also I believe there's a movie in the works for Project Hail Mary. Just finished the book and am hoping the film will be as good.
