The Electric State is Netflix's most-watched movie this week – but it's not all good news
The Electric State has become Netflix's most-watched movie of the week – though it appears the good news ends there.The sci-fi starring Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt dropped on the service last Friday, and has so far had reasonably strong viewer success, taking in over 25 million views to sit at the top of the streamer's Top 10 movies.However, the number is moderate compared to other Netflix big hitters, sitting way behind the openings all-time movies such as Red Notice (75 million), The Adam Project (52.3 million), and Brown's own Damsel (35 million).Related: Chris Pratt compares his Electric State character to Guardians of the Galaxy's Star-LordThis suggests that unless The Electric State – which has a huge budget of $320 million – picks up numbers, it may not crack the all-time Top 10.The film from directors Joe and Anthony Russo hasn't been a huge hit with critics, currently sitting at a low 15% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, marking Brown's lowest-rated film of her career.Digital Spy said in our two-star verdict: "The Electric State is indicative of too many blockbuster offerings from the streaming service that do just enough to get you to watch, but are rarely good enough to be memorable."Related: Here's why The Electric State book author supported Netflix movie's major changeThe movie is based on the illustrated novel by Simon Stålenhag, and is set in an alternate 1994 in the aftermath of a war between humanity and robots, following Brown's character Michelle as she sets off on a quest to find her presumed-dead brother.Alongside Brown and Pratt, the film stars Ke Huy Quan, Stanley Tucci, Giancarlo Esposito, Woody Norman, Anthony Mackie, Brian Cox, Jenny Slate and Alan Tudyk.The Electric State is streaming now on Netflix.
