Description:
The Electric State's trailer on Netflix reminds me of one of my favorite 
movies.

FULL STORY
======================================================================

When I watched Netflix 's The Electric State trailer, I immediately returned 
to the iconic sci-fi movie District 9 . Especially when you watch the grainy 
TV part at the beginning, where humans are just disregarding robots and 
shoving them away in a sectioned area  it does raise questions about how we 
mistreat things we don't understand. While the District 9 aliens (or "prawns" 
as they were unaffectionately known) are different from the robots in The 
Electric State , the concept is frighteningly familiar. With that in mind, 
I'm really keen to see how Netflix adapts this story. 

The trailer is full of action and heart, especially as one robot with an 
ominous smile (not their fault, the poor thing) seems to want to help a 
human. Again, there are parallels with how one alien and his child 
unexpectedly assist bureaucrat Wikus van de Merwe in District 9 . Considering 
that it's one of my favorite movies of all time (can you tell?), I hope The 
Electric State is worth the hype, given how intrigued I am by the subject 
matter. If we're lucky, maybe we'll even add it to our best Netflix movies 
round-up.

 The Electric State is the newest movie from the MCU's Russo Brothers, known 
for their work on the best Marvel movies such as Avengers: Infinity War and 
the follow-up Avengers: Endgame . Their latest project, The Electric State , 
is said to be loosely based on the comic of the same name by Simon Stlenhag. 
With that in mind, it's important to note it's not a direct adaptation, and 
there may be several differences in how they tell the story. 

There's a huge cast attached to this movie, too, including Millie Bobby 
Brown, Chris Pratt, Ke Huy Quan, Woody Harrelson, Stanley Tucci, Anthony 
Mackie, and Brian Cox, so that's quite the ensemble. 

When we first reacted to news of The Electric State , we noted that nobody's 
sure what to make of it, and there's plenty of discussion about the movie 
online. We'll just have to wait and see before we can give our final verdict!
