Few things get the internet going like a movie that gets all the critical lashes . If you thought reactions toBorderlandslast year were sorry , those forThe Electric Statemay prepare a new taproom .

Netflix ’s upcoming sci - fi activeness motion-picture show from theRusso brothersand starring Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt does n’t murder until next week . But those who got to see it betimes are now sharing their opinion and hoo male child , they ai n’t tolerant . Our own Germain Lussier did n’t review it , but he considered among the most medium ofthe Russos ’ work , so take from that what you will . But at time of committal to writing , Electric Statehas aRotten Tomatoesconsensus of 27 % , their third - lowest rated film ahead ofA Merry Friggin ’ Christmas(14 % ) andYou , Me , & Dupree(20 % . ) . Prior to that , it was10 % , which would ’ve made for their worst - retrospect film ever . Yeesh . We ’ve posted some impressions below for you to express joy ( or flinch ) at the spectacle of it all .

Did Netflix really hand the Russo brothers $ 320 million to make THE ELECTRIC STATE , a soulless retro - futurist sci - fi adventure design to be half - watched by many and then never spoken of again ? My@THRreview of the previous destruction shock to movies.https://t.co/pVhkGZ0aWY

THE ELECTRIC STATE is a feel just menage movie that ’s entertaining , but more calorie-free - hearted than the original story . Visuals and action mechanism are smashing , Chris Pratt brings his Star - Lord - philosophical system to it . Brown , Esposito , Tucci , + Quan shine!#TheElectricState

For the most part , this sound like a stinker that ca n’t even be relieve by nerveless - look robots . That ’s a shame , since folks really dug Simon Stålenhag ’s popular lifelike novelElectric Stateis base on . That the movie is an incoherent mess is disappointing on its own , but it ’s even distressing when you learn its budget was reportedlyover $ 300 million , making it one of the most expensive movie ever made . Good affair the Russos are gearing up to do thenext twoAvengersmovies , ripe ?

The Electric Statehits Netflix on Friday , March 14 — so if you ’re not in theatre of operations watchingNovocaine , Opus , Day the Earth Blew Up , orBlack Bag , you could always find out that and see if it ’s as bad as it sounds . And then come Tuesday , you could act outrage when Netflix calls it the most - watched movie on the chopine but givesnohard routine to back it up .
