Chris Pratt's 'The Electric State' Receives Negative Reviews

News summary

Chris Pratt's latest film, The Electric State, is facing severe criticism, currently holding a 19% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Directed by the Russo brothers and based on Simon Stålenhag's illustrated novel, the movie, which features a star-studded cast including Millie Bobby Brown, depicts a dystopian 1990s America in the aftermath of a human-robot civil war. Despite its $320 million budget and potential for an engaging story, critics note that the film lacks the dynamic storytelling and humor characteristic of the directors' previous successes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The narrative follows a young girl and a smuggler as they navigate a broken society, but many reviewers feel it leans too heavily into a somber tone rather than exploring the absurdity of its premise. Additionally, Pratt's character, Keats, showcases a surprising emotional connection with a robot companion, a moment that Pratt improvised during filming. This lackluster reception marks a continuation of Pratt's struggle to find critical acclaim outside of the MCU since 2020.
