You. Gotta. See. This.

The Electric State is the knock-it-out-of-the-park alt-history sci-fi movie of the year.

This movie is disturbingly gorgeous. Stephen F. Windon’s cinematography dazzles the eye with bizarre yet mudane mechanical junk; Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt are pitch perfect in the leads. Brown makes the big character jump from the gawky Number 11 of Stranger Things to a totally credible female action hero, while Chris Pratt gives us a much-improved version of Guardians of the Galaxy’s Star Lord.

This one film shows the Star Trek, Star Wars, Transformers, and Marvel Cinematic Universe franchises for the pathetic toy commercials that they are.

The movie got a lot of negative response, demonstrating that film critics, supposed experts in cinema, are as intellectually bankrupt as pretty much every other claque of experts in those dreary days before Remodern America.
