Joe and Anthony Russo's The Electric State has a staggering budget of over $300 million, positioning it as Netflix's most expensive film and among the most costly ever made. While the film, set in a quirky alternate mid-1990s with robots playing a functional role in society, seeks to create a fun atmosphere, there’s an underlying lack of enjoyment from its creators. The tone juxtaposes dark themes of a war between humans and robots with an incessantly chipper delivery, leading to a curious dissonance throughout the narrative as characters engage in a sarcastic exchange.
Orson Welles excitedly proclaimed a movie studio as the biggest electric train set any boy ever had; Joe and Anthony Russo's The Electric State is an expensive cinematic creation.
With a budget over $300 million, The Electric State isn't just the most expensive Netflix movie; it’s among the costliest films ever made, alongside the Russos' Avengers films.
Despite their success and financial freedom, the Russos seem to be enjoying their cinematic endeavors less, as The Electric State presents a chipper yet unsettling tone against its war backdrop.
The tonal dissonance in The Electric State becomes apparent, with a war-torn narrative covered in quirky humor, while characters engage in a consistent quippy dialogue.
