Netflix's most expensive movie ever is a soulless machine.

In Electrical status, the most expensive film produced by Netflix, some monstrous vulture robots are dedicated to destroying their mechanical companions to steal their parts and assemble them to their own bodies. The film by brothers Anthony and Joe Russo, a failed blank check from the all-powerful platform to the directors of Avengers: Endgame (the second highest-grossing film in history), is like those scavenger robots: nothing original, just recycled parts from previous works.

This retro-futuristic dystopia set in an alternate 90s follows the steps of a girl (Millie Bobby Brown in rebel heroine mode à la Stranger Things, but with a perm), the small robot that contains his brother's consciousness and a loudmouth ex-soldier (a Chris Pratt with a mane and mustache who shamelessly replicates his Star-Lord fromGuardians of the Galaxy) in their joint fight against a tech corporation that has created addictive virtual reality technology.

Dialogue with works such as Ready Player One It was already present in the exceptional graphic novel of the same name by Simon Stålenhag on which it is based. Electrical status, but the Russo brothers strip away the original's critical, apocalyptic, and disturbing content to deliver harmless, deadly boring mass-market entertainment. It's the closest thing to scarfing down a microwaved fast-food burger.
