Quote:
The Electric State is a 2025 American science fiction action-adventure film produced and directed by Anthony and Joe Russo. Its screenplay by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely is loosely based on the 2018 illustrated novel by Simon Stålenhag. The film stars Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt, alongside Ke Huy Quan, Jason Alexander, Woody Harrelson, Anthony Mackie, Brian Cox, Jenny Slate, Giancarlo Esposito and Stanley Tucci.

An orphaned teen hits the road with a mysterious robot to find her long-lost brother, teaming up with a smuggler and his wisecracking sidekick.

It's got heart but can just never rise above being netflix slosh. The robot designs are offputting too. Millie looks good as a blonde. Pratt is here for a check. I think giving it to JJ Abrams and casting someone like Patrick Wilson would have gone a long way. As is, its a 300 million dollar something to watch.

It’s basic and mediocre but also terrible, and, I somewhat liked it. I enjoyed watching it in a half-distracted, half-Mystery Science Theater 3000 kind of focused way.

Spoiler: show
cracking myself up cheering for Millie at the end, “Yeah do it, kill your brother!!”

Reminds me of Ready Player One in a few ways—love the world building / setting / premise—carried by the charisma and attractiveness of its main stars—is uglier visually than it should be—painfully cringe and outright bad at times, but also somewhat enjoyable.
