"The Electric State" fails to reach its full power.
With two fake deaths and an interesting (yet simultaneously uninteresting) progression of events, Netflix's The Electric State is one you will not be torn over. I understand this is an adaptation based on the 2018 novel by Simon Stålenhag, and there are people who will always take a side on the book versus movie or series debate, but I don't think this movie was what they hoped for it to be. A spoiler warning is in effect! Michelle (Millie Bobby Brown) embarks on a quest to find the last surviving member of her family with the goal of freeing her brother from a mega-corporation's grip. She is assisted by his subconscious residing in a robot, along with Keats (Chris Pratt) and Herman (Anthony Mackie), who join her after she catches a ride with them while they evade the police and others during their mission to save Christopher (Woody Norman) and the world from the technological war. Despite the substantial budget, the movie had a certain lack of quality. The opening scene with Christopher taking the test felt overly simplistic, particularly when he encounters a Corporal (Camrus Johnson) who questions him about his shirt and his pro-robot stance, which seemed out of place and poorly executed. This feeling about the actors' performances surfaced multiple times; at moments, I found the voice actors more compelling than those physically present. The scene where Herman carries them on his shoulder while Michelle and Keats converse struck me as the most authentic.

"Devil May Cry," "The Residence," and "The Electric State": Brief and Not-So-Brief Opinions: Part 15
The Residence (Netflix), Devil May Cry (Netflix), and The Electric State (Netflix). … The 'brief and not-so-brief opinions' articles are my outlet to rant about or appreciate movies, shows and their elements. I will express my thoughts while watching and after or only after watching, it depends. I will not be rating. These are not spoiler-free for the most part, and no research will be made for or about them (unless it's out of curiosity or accidental, which would be mentioned). They are in no particular order of recent watching as well. However, the opinions are based on the order in which the movie or series is viewed (for the most part). This wouldn't be as structured or detailed, and there would be no set number of picks per article. It would be just as things go. It is intended to be casual. So think…conversations about movie plots, characters, topics, or something like that.
