In the aftermath of the robot war, the only path forward is into THE ELECTRIC STATE. Starring Millie Bobby Brown, Chris Pratt, Stanley Tucci and directed by the Russo Brothers, only on Netflix MARCH 14.

Set in a retro-futuristic past, this blockbuster adventure from filmmakers Anthony and Joe Russo follows Michelle (Millie Bobby Brown), an orphaned teenager who traverses the American West in search of her younger brother. Joining her on the journey is a sweet but mysterious robot and an eccentric drifter (Chris Pratt). The film also stars Ke Huy Quan, Jason Alexander, Woody Norman, Giancarlo Esposito and Stanley Tucci. Woody Harrelson, Anthony Mackie, Brian Cox, Jenny Slate, Hank Azaria, Colman Domingo and Alan Tudyk join the cast in voice roles. THE ELECTRIC STATE premieres globally on Netflix MARCH 14.
 
This is looking like a bit of a flop from early reviews/ratings :( I'll give it a watch but got very little hope for it.
 
I found it quite entertaining and the productions values were great. The robots looked really good. Not everything has to be groundbreaking, compared to the bilge Disney has produced for similar money it was good. As has become the norm the critics views are largely irrelevant to the viewers enjoyment.

That was my thoughts as well. Not setting the world alight in any way but not a terrible way to spend a couple of hours, better than the latest Captain America film at least!

I'd heard about that... Netflix seem to keep spending stupid money on movies and you don't often really see where it goes! I'm sure the Russo's aren't cheap, and the movie looks good... but that's still an insane amount of money.

Not seen it yet but I'd love to know how Netflix keeps managing to get good directors producing very average movies. Are they interfering too much, or do the directors just not care since they've already been paid so much?

Not interfering enough I'd say.

As bizzare as it might sound, Sometimes giving directors carte blanch, rather than rules to work within, isn't always a good thing.

Their best Marvel movies were made as part of an enormous team.
