[Lex Computer & Tech Group/LCTG] "3 Body Problem" Recommendation

[Jack Mroczkowski]

Just for the sake of balance, and as a physicist, we watched it and were
disappointed.  The physics and engineering,
the threat from 4 light years away, and the communication from the threat
are way too far fetched.  There were
also many times one just could not figure out what was going on. Sorry...
thumbs down on this one.
