The Electric State/Armor
The Electric State
The movie The Electric State takes us into the future and follows Michelle, a young orphaned girl traveling across the American West with a sweet yet mysterious robot. The two team up with an eccentric drifter and embark on a road trip to find the girl’s younger brother. Along the way, they must navigate an electrified, retro-futuristic version of the United States. A massive budget for a streaming movie that ultimately fails to satisfy its audience.

It raises some interesting philosophical questions.
There are a few beautifully directed scenes.
The CGI is quite good, which makes sense given the film’s outrageous budget.
The animatronic robots are quite endearing—most of them, at least.
Great world-building.
It’s not that the movie is outright bad—it’s enjoyable enough—but it’s something you’ve seen before.
The opening scene is intriguing.

I had a big issue with most of the performances. Millie Bobby Brown was bad—bland, emotionless, despite everything her character goes through.
Chris Pratt was mediocre at best.
The script was full of holes and clichés, feeling like a mash-up of other films with weak storytelling.
Predictable and uninspiring ending.
The movie lacks depth, and at a certain point, it becomes quite generic.
Despite being an adventure film, there are parts that are just boring.
Armor
A father and son work as guards for an armored truck company and find themselves facing a group of would-be robbers. While on a bridge, their truck overturns, leaving them trapped inside. Now, they must come up with a plan to escape. What can I say? I expected it. Should I say I didn’t?

A decent opening chase scene.
Some nice landscape shots captured with drones.

Boringgggggg—like, unbearably so.
The acting is laughable.
I honestly don’t understand why Stallone agreed to be in this, aside from the paycheck—not that I’m praising his acting skills either.
No character development whatsoever, so there’s no way to connect with any of them.
No pacing.
Predictable to the max.
Fails to hold the viewer’s interest.
Outdated digital effects.
