The Electric State Defies Critical Backlash

Netflix released the $300 million film The Electric State, directed by the Russo Brothers and starring Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt, on March 15, 2025, adapting Simon Stålenhag’s art book. Critics largely panned it (14% on Rotten Tomatoes) but audiences scored it 67%; the author argues the film’s visual effects, themes of technological isolation, and reappraisal potential amid generative AI make it a wrongly maligned work.
