Netflix’s $320 Million Sci-Fi Film 'The Electric State' Faces Harsh Criticism

Directed by the Russo brothers, the highly anticipated adaptation of Simon Stålenhag’s novel has received overwhelmingly negative reviews ahead of its March 14 release.

The Electric State, starring Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt, is set in a retro-futuristic 1990s after a robot uprising and will debut on Netflix on March 14, 2025.
The film has received a dismal 23% critics' score on Rotten Tomatoes, with reviews calling it uninspired, incoherent, and lacking emotional depth.
Critics have highlighted the film's failure to capture the imagination of its source material, with some describing it as a sanitized and overly nostalgic adaptation.
Despite its $320 million budget and star-studded cast, including Stanley Tucci and Giancarlo Esposito, the movie has been criticized for weak storytelling and underwhelming visuals.
The Russo brothers, known for Marvel blockbusters like Avengers: Endgame, continue to struggle with critical reception for their post-MCU projects.
