The Electric State | Official Teaser | Netflix

[MrFourth]

for those of you who don't know, this was based on Simon Stålenhag's series of illustrations. Same goes for Tales from the Loop

[josephhaines]

I don't really like to be mean about trailers, especially because these are all creatives and actors that I really like and respect, but yeesh, talk about missing the point. The Electric State isn't supposed to be an action movie, it's a slow, sombre, atmospheric cautionary tale about becoming too reliant on technology. This just looks like any other summer blockbuster.

[wungee]

Source material:

A quiet, surreal, trip through a world of melancholy, telling a story of a world lost to consumerism told through beautifully-uncanny, haunting visuals.

Netflix adaptation:

A fast, loud blockbuster with stupid humor, lame 90s/early 2000s music and Chris Pratt playing the only character he's ever played.

They couldn't have missed the point more if they'd tried.

[TheNinjaJesusRises]

They... could NOT have missed the point harder

[TTrigg]

Expected to see the credit "Based on the book by visionary artist Simon Stalenhag"..but from the looks of things he must've refused to be credited, and i don't blame him

[jesterspawn]

The fact that there is no mention of Simon Stalenhag says one of two things: either he didn't want his name associated with it, or nobody involved in promoting it understands that his name is literally THE primary draw for the movie. And neither possibility is a good sign.

[shanehero]

My heart broke more the longer this trailer went. The longer it went the further it drifted from the original book.
By the time we got to the “funny” quips by a robot having fridges thrown at it, I was out.

I hope someone does a good adaptation of this book one day.

[Vesper-]

I recommend reading the original book by Simon Stalenhag under the same title to anyone interested

[matiasnl]

This should have been a quiet, atmospheric, animated movie.

[brettthebest]

Imagine a minimalist dialogue with strong visual never really explaining what’s going on
That’s the kind of movie I wanted to see

[Nedry]

please ignore this, and buy the artbook "The Electric State" by Simon Stålenhag, his work is AMAZING and BEAUTIFUL. I really was expecting something more like the amazon show "Tales from the loop", they really captured the atmosphere, the tone, the look & feel... god dammit

[UncleEntropy]

The tone looks nothing like the book whatsoever. I loved the hopeless, lonely, and dystopian feel of the source material.

[tabithart]

I've never been so disappointted in my life, the original book by Simon stalenhag had a completely different mood and composition, the book felt more like a cosmic horror and had a more serious tone than this.

[xShadowsunx]

It's literally an ART book, how did they make it look so wrong

[JaquelineKyle]

Want to thank all the commenters pointing out the source material. I bought it and read it and LOVED IT.

[alejoparedes]

This looks like it cost 300 million dollars in the worst possible way

[MrStarfox]

Way to go to turn a dark adult story into a fun PG13 roadtrip movie. It literally feels like they just looked at the pictures

[Chasinthegrade]

This trailer is edited and scored like we're all supposed to go "I've never seen anything like THIS before" but in reality we have all seen this kind of thing dozens and dozens of times, in movies that looked a lot cooler and more interesting than this.

[henryparka]

There have to be more great actors in the world than just the same 20 celebrities we see in every movie and tv show over and over again.

[xamalion]

According to my memory, this has little to nothing in common with the book I own.
