The Electric State, co-directed by Joe and Anthony Russo, is a Netflix film that disappoints with lackluster performances and a disjointed narrative. Based on Simon Stålenhag's illustrated novel, it features a massive budget yet seems to squander it on superficial visual elements rather than impactful storytelling or character development. The film follows Michelle, a teen orphan traumatized by a devastating robot-war, as she navigates her chaotic life with an irresponsible adoptive parent. Despite its rich premise, the film ultimately feels like a hollow attempt to capture audience nostalgia without delivering substance.
The Electric State fails to deliver engaging performances and a coherent story, relying instead on visual nostalgia without meaningful substance.
Despite a reported $300 million budget, the film merely offers cliches and product placements rather than inspiring narratives or memorable characters.
