The Electric State | Russo Brothers movie for Netflix Staring Millie Bobby Brown Chris Pratt

Has anyone played the RPG? It's not adapted from the film but from the original source material.

Stuff like this makes me sad about animation not being more popular.
Arcane reportedly cost $250 mill which was considered crazy and makes it the most expensive animated TV show ever....and I honestly think it gave us 18 episodes of some of the best looking stuff ever put on TV. Imagine if someone made an animated show with a budget like GOT or Rings of Power.

Or you can spend over $300 million on 120 min of trash like this
 
Tales from the Loop is much more fitting Simons style. I enjoyed that a lot.

This movie was a bit meh.

Worst film I've seen this year. Chris Pratt playing....the same character as he always plays. Millie Bobby Brown is just an awful actor. The plot is shit! Stanley Tucci and Giancarlo Esposito are wasted on this utter drivel. I guess the effects are good? Fucking Hell!
 
I watched the first hour and turned it off. Intolerable even after drinking a few beers. Russo bros are confirmed to be untalented hacks.
 
I'm 30 minutes in and I feel like I've been watching it for 4 hours

Edit: got halfway through the movie and gave up

Visually the movie is quite beautiful and the world is very interesting, but it's all wasted on a predictable and boring script.

Also Millie Brown is not a good actress.

Besides Robert Downey jr who is the most expensive person in marvel now?

Oh, it's gotta be Chris Pratt, and by a country mile. He has THREE billion dollar films with the Jurassic World series, plus the super hit Terminal List, then these high dollar netflix films, plus big money voice over. He is EASILY the biggest star in the marvel orbit right now.

ScarJo is probably next, though her value drops every month.

After that is a distant list of all the folks that can't really open anything on their own, including Hemsworth and Evans.
 
Now that I think about it though, I wonder if Zoe Saldana isn't the most expensive now that she has an oscar to go with her HUGE Box Office due to Avatar. And at this point, I bet her marvel film $$$ rivals JDJ with the 3 GOTG films to offset his IM, the capt film and spidey. She also has LIONESS which I'm sure pays well. Alas, much like in this thread, I think folks just forget about her the instant she is off screen. She's like Jessica Chastain in that regard, super talented within their lane but kinda one note and just....forgettable.

Of course the reality is that it's probably Zendaya since life hates us :P
 
Why do these direct-to-streaming action movies always turn out so chintzy? I mean, I know the Russo brothers have always felt like TV directors making MCU movies as though they're episodes in a serial. But there's just something down-rent about every single hundred-million-dollar Netflix movie. There's got to be something about the process that makes every single one feel like a $5 bargain-bin direct-to-video B movie that inexplicably has 9 figures of soulless glossy CGI plastered on top of it.
 
Its dumb, the story to me feel like a typical anime about a special child (I don't want to spoiler it more). The robot designs are from the 50's but the movie is in the 90's ... its not a good mix.

I finished watching this film today. CGI is fantastic but the rest of the movie was BAD. Tales From The Loop is much better when it comes to adapting Simon Stålenhag artwork to a show/movie.

I'm watching it right now and 100% agree. The CGI is spectacular but...soulless. The cinematography is tepid at best. Every shot is merely servicable. And it's probably more practical than it seems, with lots of real sets and folks in green body suits versus the truely soulless Volume with all digital sets.

I wonder if we are just in a transition period where digital cameras, the type of grading and colors, in camera effects and digital overlays, all that stuff hasn't quite meshed to really work. Kind of like the late 90's with the really bad CG or the 50's with the way overbright technicolor.

Kojima posting only "I am watching this movie" or "I watched this movie" without any follow-up is a devastating review.

What I find so sad about this movie is that it had the potential to be a great movie. I'm a huge fan of the artist. If they recast the lead, actually redid the script etc, it would have been a way better movie. Instead it's typical of the usual Netflix trash. I highly recommend Tales From The Loop since that's an adaptation of lot of that artist works and they did a much better job

This is just sad. Such good source material and this is what they come up with.
There is no more talent in movies anymore. It's trash after trash after trash.
I miss the good old days of talented people that are already gone like Sergio Leone, kubrick, Friedkin, David Lynch and others.
These people will never come back and there's no replacement for them. What a shame...
 
Movie is something they could never release in a theater. So I see why they made a streaming movie.

Lots of cameos because people like that now.

It was an ok movie, 7/10. Millie and the whole cast of stranger things annoy me very much though.

Same. I thought it was ok, it wasn't the best movie ever. It was an ok popcorn movie. I probably won't remember much of the plot anyway. Nothing of substance just an ok movie to pass the time.

We watched it last night. It was ok. It's not going to win any awards other than maybe CGI.
Chris Pratt had a few good scenes, my favorite was his giant ring of keys.
It started off really slow then ramped up with CGI characters everywhere.
It reminded me a bit of Ready Player One.
There were only 4 characters, Chris Prat, The bad guy, The hunter dude, and the poor Girl actress had very little to do beyond scowling at everyone and everything.
The hunter dude had one facial expression, stoic on the screen and stoic out of the helmet.
They needed a second writing team to inject some levity and comedy into the script. The tone of the entire movie was serious and depressing, the opposite of fun.
Weird to have such a serious subject matter and then these big goofy looking robots.
 
What a waste of IP ,money and time.

This movie should have been done by Denis Villeneuve ( Blade Runner 2049).

Stream companies are a fail factory , they deliver 1 good movie of every 20 produced.

Go watch Tales from the Loop on Prime if You want yo get a decent story set on this universe.
 
Not related to the Russos, but this kinda stuff probably explains the crazy costs of streaming shows and the poor oversight of projects by the fairly newly created streaming studios.

I have to say that the CGI was one of the best i have seen, I was surprised to see people bashing it, I guess they disliked the movie so much that they just said they everything about it.

Pratt has the range of a wall and Millie looks 30, also, she is not a good actress, not even mediocre.

Pratt was great as a moron role in parks and recreation but i didn't liked him in anything else.

Also, You never want to slap the shit of andy like you do with starlord when wake up thanos during the group fight.

I definitely wanted to slap the shit out of Andy in Season 1 for taking advantage of Ann's kindness by pretending his injury was lasting far longer than it actually was. Yes, he immediately got more likable in Season 2 and beyond, but Season 1 Andy was a fucking tool.

At least in the Thanos situation, we're talking about a guy who just discovered his girlfriend was murdered by the man right in front of him, and this was actually brilliantly set up in Guardians 2 when Peter discovers Ego is responsible for Peter's mother's tumor that cost her her life and thus Peter immediately opens fire on Ego. In Guardians 2, it's a triumphant moment for Peter, but in Infinity War, we see how that sort of knee jerk reaction to realizing a murderer of one of your loved ones is right in front of you could actually make the situation far worse. It was actually quite clever writing, and good use of established characterization.
