Is The Electric State worth watching?
Finally, I have completed watching The Electric State movie and this is not any ordinary small movie, the budget of this movie is $320 million if I compare it, to the budget of Avengers End Game was around $356 million and The Electric State is a $320 million movie which if converted into Indian currency is Rs 2800 crores, so it is a very big movie. But a few days ago there was news related to this movie that this movie has got only an 18% rating on Rotten Tomatoes which is considered very low, according to them this movie was a complete flop. But still, I wanted to watch this movie and that too with a lot of excitement because I have more faith in Netflix than critics, I have faith in the Russo Brothers, I had faith in its trailer, I had faith in the actor Chris Pratt and there were multiple reasons too. Finally, I have completed watching this movie which is only two hours and eight minutes long. So is this movie really that useless or is this movie a blockbuster?

Why did The Electric State flop?
Netflix's The Electric State was made in $320 million. The plus point of this film is that everything feels realistic, from the set to the emotions of the robots. But it would have been better if a little money was spent on the story and screenplay as well. I thought that the thinking of Hollywood people is very different from Bollywood people, but no, here also the filmmakers are fond of making the most expensive films, even if the movie does not teach anything, does not have a solid story, the characters are not likable or relatable, the thinking that the film should be expensive is there in Bollywood but I did not expect that it will be there in Hollywood as well. Now see, when it comes to the Russo brothers, we muster up the courage to watch that content by closing our eyes, but this time we will have to open our eyes, my brother. I know why this film came directly on OTT even after spending so much money because this movie could not even showcase its box office numbers in theaters. How does it feel to say that a movie made in 2700 crores could not even touch 100 crores in its theatre run, so it was a good decision to deal directly with OTT and then Rahul Gandhi makes the famous dialogue entry here Tata good buy. If I talk about the storyline of the movie, then this is a dystopian type sci-fi action adventure film in which the focus is on the emotions of robots but here the makers fail because no human being can feel emotionally about robots. I do not mean I am talking about the characters of the movie, I am talking about the emotions of the audience who were not able to connect with those robots. Due to this, despite having a good topic, the interest of the movie gets lost somewhere. Lead actor Chris Pratt has done the same work as he has been doing in Guardians of the Galaxy. At one moment, it felt as if this was a Star Lord movie in some other universe. So, somewhere due to bad execution, I felt that the movie could have been better. Considering the amount of money that has been spent on water, yes, it could have been better. For this reason, I easily give this movie 2.5 out of 5 stars. This movie is average.
