The Electric State
{4.5/5} “‘How’d you two meet?’ ‘We actually met in the war.’ ‘Weren’t you supposed to kill each other?’ ‘We tried.'”
The Electric State, released in 2025
After the robots decided they didn’t want to just do what humans told them any more, robots and humans went to war. Humans eventually won, and robots were sent to an exclusion zone. Michelle’s parents and brother died when a deer hit their car, and she now lives in a foster home with a man who’s not particularly nice. When a robot comes to her house, she finds out that her brother is still alive.
It’s an alternate history where robots were introduced into society much earlier. This gives it a different feel, which I was interested in.
It’s about humans and robots working together.
Based on a graphic novel by Simon Stålenhag (Tales from the Loop).
Stars Millie Bobby Brown, Chris Pratt, Ke Huy Quan, Giancarlo Esposito, and Stanley Tucci. Directed by Anthony Russo and Joe Russo (The Gray Man).
