Chris Pratt and Millie Brown are easily the most annoying actors around right now. Pass
I am so fucking sick of Chris Pratt.
I just finished watching it. It’s a decent movie on it’s own, but it’s a completely different story than what was in the book. They got the art style mostly right, but the plot points were totally off.
Feels to me like they just copied the visual cues completely disregarding the overall mood of the art they’re based on, making it just another Disney action family movie.
Just watched this today - Overall its like a marriage of Peripheral and the first chapter of the animatrix. I’d say its good second screen material, but not a super rewarding watch by itself

The movie didn’t pick a lane and explore a topic in detail.
Robots rebel - Humans win somehow? Robots don’t evolve or organize?
Humans are getting sucked into drone surrogates (heh), and lose connection with each other
Smugglers bring contraband back from warzone
Robot and human buddy drama
Any one of these would have been a good movie by itself to explore, all together it feels superficial and nothing has time to sink in or have consequences. It’s like a first pass at each concept without exploring the logical extensions of how society would adapt to those concepts over time.
This is on my watch list. I’m curious how it compares to the Amazon Prime show, Tales From The Loop.
It doesn’t, really. Tales From the Loop was a methodical and pretty deep exploration of human nature. I loved that show. Electric State is a basic human vs robot story with some fun action and not a lot of depth. The main similarity is big robots. It was still enjoyable to watch, I definitely recommend checking it out, but it’s pretty superficial.
