Overview

• The Electric State, a $320 million Netflix sci-fi film directed by the Russo Brothers, has received a dismal 20% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
• Critics have largely panned the film for its lack of emotional depth, muddled storytelling, and overreliance on derivative elements from other sci-fi works.
• The film, starring Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt, adapts Simon Stålenhag’s graphic novel but is criticized for losing the source material’s nuance and poignancy.
• While praised for its impressive visual effects and unique robot designs, the movie has been described as hollow and overly formulaic by multiple reviewers.
• Despite its high-profile cast and ambitious premise, The Electric State has been labeled a major disappointment and a low point in the Russo Brothers' post-MCU careers.
