Netflix's $320M 'The Electric State' Faces Harsh Reviews Ahead of Release

The Russo brothers' sci-fi film starring Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt struggles with critical reception, earning a 23% Rotten Tomatoes score.

The Electric State, a Netflix sci-fi adventure directed by the Russo brothers, is set to debut on March 14, 2025.
The film, based on Simon Stålenhag's graphic novel, stars Millie Bobby Brown as a teenager searching for her brother in a retro-futuristic world alongside Chris Pratt as a smuggler.
Critics have widely panned the film, with Rotten Tomatoes assigning it a 23% score, marking it as one of the Russo brothers' lowest-rated works.
Reviews describe the movie as incoherent and lacking originality, with some critics noting a disconnect between the source material and the adaptation.
Despite the negative reception, the film boasts a high-profile cast, including Ke Huy Quan, Giancarlo Esposito, and Stanley Tucci, and is Netflix's latest high-budget gamble.
