Few things get the internet going like a movie that gets all the critical lashes. If you thought reactions toBorderlandslast year were bad, those forThe Electric Statemay set a new bar. Netflixs upcoming sci-fi action film from the Russo brothers and starring Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt doesnt hit until next week. But those who got to see it early are now sharing their thoughts and hoo boy, they aint kind. Our own Germain Lussier didnt review it, but he considered among the most average of the Russos work, so take from that what you will. But at time of writing, Electric Statehas a Rotten Tomatoes consensus of 27%, their third-lowest rated film ahead ofA Merry Friggin Christmas(14%) and You, Me, & Dupree (20%.). Prior to that, it was 10%, which wouldve made for their worst-reviewed film ever. Yeesh. Weve posted some impressions below for you to laugh (or wince) at the spectacle of it all. For the most part, this sounds like a stinker that cant even be saved by cool-looking robots. Thats a shame, since folks really dug Simon Stlenhags popular graphic novel Electric Stateis based on. That the movie is an incoherent mess is disappointing on its own, but its even sadder when you learn its budget was reportedly over $300 million, making it one of the most expensive movies ever made. Good thing the Russos are gearing up to do the next twoAvengersmovies, right? The Electric Statehits Netflix on Friday, March 14so if youre not in theaters watchingNovocaine, Opus, Day the Earth Blew Up,orBlack Bag,you could always watch that and see if its as bad as it sounds.
