I'll prolly do a full review later but I just want you all to know that I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE ELECTRIC STATE!!!!
It was such a great fun adventure, the world they built was so amazing and I absolutely adored every single one of the robots, they had that perfect level of 1950's world of tomorrow kitschiness to them and it worked so well in this movie
The first hour wasnt what I expected but the second hour very much was, they spent the first hour world building and setting the scene and the second hour giving us the kick ass rock n roll battle for the ages full of nonstop thrills, spills and chills(and a whole lotta refrigerators hurled about as weapons)
This movie was so freaking fun!
Chris Pratt was Chris Pratt, which I always enjoy in all his big budget spectaculars and this was no different
Eleven from Stranger Things has grown into quite the little hottie, she's not the best actress in the world but Im a fan of hers and she gave her typical middlish performance, kinda real bad at one part but there was so much else going on that she doesnt drag the movie down, plus she's so adorbz so its cool
Stanley Tucci was decent as Elon Zuckerberg and Giancarlo Esposito was perfect as his big scary ruthless unstoppable hitman
The robots were very much the stars and their voices were amazing, Woody Harrelson as Mr Peanut, Anthony Mackie as Herman the smart ass shit talking sidekick and the chick that played Jean Ralphio's crazy nympho sister on Parks And Rec as Penny The Mail Lady, each voice performance was top notch!
This movie is getting savaged by the critics so I was disappointed by that because I was very much looking forward to it but after watching it, its super obvious why its getting so much hate from that crowd
The message behind the movie is to stop fighting and whining all day on the internet, stop crying about mean tweets and safe spaces(they literally name the "safe zone" in the movie Blue Sky Acres LoL), the only reason that these assholes that run the internet have so much power in this world today is because we give it to them and allow them to divide us
Go outside and talk to the "other side", make a friend, pick a flower, meet a sweetie and enjoy the sunshine and you'll realize life is so much better than the miserable world we create for ourselves on the internet
So, of course a buncha internet dweeb critics that spend all day on the internet criticizing, arguing and running from mean tweets to the safety of Blue Sky are gonna hate that it shines the light so brightly on them directly
Ok, enough harping on that nonsense, back to how frickin amazing this movie is, it is so freaking beautiful in its portrayal of a post apocalyptic barren wasteland and there is so much charm and joy in the robot characters that live there
Did I mention that I loved this frickin movie!
The only real negative about it is that Netflix had this amazing huge Summer blockbuster that wouldve made a gazillion dollars on the big screen and they chose to dump it straight to streaming, this movie really deserved the full giant screen and booming speakers experience, it definitely woulda been a massive hit and launched another franchise for Chris Pratt(just like The Tomorrow War wouldve, but I digress)
Ok, I guess you guys are getting a full review right now
I can already tell Im gonna watch this movie several more times over the next few weeks, thats how much I loved it
So in conclusion, if youre in the mood for a huge explosion filled exciting thrill ride Summer blockbuster adventure with some heart and charm, then push play on this bad boy
I give it my Official 7 Thumbs Up Highest Recommendation
