Description:
This could be the perfect dystopian Netflix drama for 2025.

FULL STORY

We've been excited about The Electric State for a while now: Netflix's big-budget sci-fi movie, directed by the Russo Brothers, has got a very distinct look, a classic dystopian setup and a great cast too. First-look images were shared back in October and now there's a trailer to get everyone
a little more stoked.

I love the visuals here, and the robots really remind me of the brilliant videogame NieR: Automata . And given the Russo's track record with the Marvel Cinematic Universe, there's lots here to look forward to what could be one of the best Netflix movies .

What we know about The Electric State

The Electric State is based on the graphic novel by Simon Stlenhag, which takes place in an alternate reality version of 1997. There, a teenage girl
and her robot pal traverse the southwest US after technology goes bad not quite Terminator bad, but pretty close.

According to Netflix: "Set in an alternate, retro-futuristic version of the 1990s, [Millie Bobby] Brown stars as Michelle, an orphaned teenager
navigating life in a society where sentient robots resembling cartoons and mascots, who once served peacefully among humans, now live in exile following
a failed uprising."

It continues: "Everything Michelle thinks she knows about the world is
upended one night when shes visited by Cosmo, a sweet, mysterious robot who appears to be controlled by Christopher Michelles genius younger brother
whom she thought was dead."

With a cast and voice cast that also includes Ke Huy Quan ( Loki ), Jason Alexander, Woody Norman, Giancarlo Esposito ( The Mandalorian ), and Stanley Tucci ( Citadel ). Woody Harrelson ( Zombieland ), Brian Cox ( Succession ), Jenny Slate ( It Ends With Us ), Hank Azaria ( The Simpsons ), Colman Domingo
( Sing Sing ), and Alan Tudyk ( Star Wars: Rogue One ) this has the potential to be pretty great. We'll find out for sure when it premieres on one of the best streaming services on 14 March 2025.
