The Electric State (2024) - Dark & Weird Sci-Fi

The Electric State (2024) a movie by the Russo brothers with a completely different genre than what we are used to, it is a science fiction film set into a future quite peculiar and different than what anyone would think, there is a lot of imagination into this story and also a bit dark giving the Russo brothers something to experiment with, its not only how dark and weird this movie might be at times from what I can tell after watching a few videos online about it mostly pictures of the novel and concepts of the film, reminds me a bit about certain other movies like recently The Creator because of the mix tech with humans but I hope its better.

This movie with a very distinctive style has been highly anticipated by sci-fi fans who know about the graphic novel from 2018 of the same name by Simons Stalenhag, since I'm not a reader with no shame about it I know nothing about it; the movie is written by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, its like avengers related production side took an adventure into something totally different, in other words took the challenge to be successful on a different field of what they usually work on example Marvel Movies, I think they going to have a big challenge to make this adaptation work and could be highly criticize if as usual for some mystique reason the movie is not as close to the novel as every fan would expect.

Some familiar faces you will recognize from the cast specially with Millie Bobby Brown known for her role in "Stranger Things", coming from a drama with a very weird reality I think this brings more context or set the theme already, she plays the role of Michelle the main character who goes into an adventure with a robot and a homeless guy into a 1997 that you would never imagine, feels like a world made out of scraps after a war between humans and tech I guess AI, see why I mention "The Creator", next on the cast is Chriss Patt known from Guardians of the Galaxy aka Mr Star Lord who plays Keats, he helps Michelle to find her missing brother.

The Electric State got my attention because I love all this kind of futuristic dystopian as they call it, worlds that can very well turn into our future, the pictures from the novel are very artistic so I hop they can bring all this details to the movie, it also receive the Locus Award for Best Art Book in 2019, probably a not well known novel since it had to be translated to English, btw this is coming out on Netflix, its probably going to be a Netflix gem for 2024, the official release date is yet to be confirm.

From what I have seen in pictures and part of what the novel is about there is going to be a lot of VR on this movie, its like after the war the world has fall into a depression and humans are lost into VR worlds while huge drones that were left behind go around, the Michelle plot wondering this drone desert also reminds me of The Last of US, they basically be exploring the wild wild west of drones that might attempt to kill her, every time there is this kind of scenario there is a lot of tension, she is a kid all alone with a robot and a drifter, the world is upside down and have to survive everything that is out there that want to kill them, take their stuff, who knows.

As you can tell this movie is a mix bag of things that reminds me of many others with similar scenarios but it has its own theme going on it does share the classic element of wondering around an unknown world without a clue of what is going to happen but with one target in mind that is to find Michelle's brother, from the pictures I find it a very dark, nostalgic and soft? sci-fi style, same as other productions I have compare it to, drama is going to be the main topic here so don't expect big fights between robots and humans, think of it like The Walking Dead of robots? not sure just a suggestion not trying to compare it.

There is some mystery behind the production as they use a key name for it "Stormwind" like it was a secret but to keep it from who? its a $200 million production set to release on 2024 and will be one hour and forty minutes, for a movie about a girl wondering around looking for her brother might be a long movie getting closer to two hours but I think its fine considering that now days we have over an hour long TV series episodes, I hope it doesn't get too boring because at some point they will be traveling without many people around in the middle of the unknown, I doubt there going to be inside big cities, after all the world felt apart after war.

I still think this is going to be worth watching considering its a Netflix movie, great cast with very well known and great actors for the main characters recreating something different, there is no official trailer but their have been news about this production going around different media outlets.
