Thank God the message is spreading. probably the only good thing about this trailer. Stallenhag (spelling sry) has a couple more books like this one that ide very highly recommend.
@@stagefever1980 Because we don't need to see more than this trailer. In the books all the humans died via VR goggles and there was no fighting or action. It wasn't an "uprising" either more like an accident. All that remained were the few people who weren't hook up to electronics at the time and its a melancholy road trip. No action no fighting no humor just melancholy and acceptance of what has occurred for the few left to bear witness. The book is existential horror.
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.
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.
Yeahhh..... there's some shots that are right out of the book (like the robot towing the canoe) but wtf are Chris Pratt and action scenes doing in it? Yikes.
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.
Exactly. Hollywood is too afraid to make any but action packed movies. Hopefully they use the electric state soundtrack the creator made at least. I was hoping for that in this trailer but guess not
I agree. This looks completley devoid of what makes The Electric State interesting and the tone of Simon's work. Essentially Disney-fied. The producers just saw cool looking sci-fi visuals and ran with that, which doesn't seem to even work in that regard because it looks too CGI and digital, antithetic to the gritty analog aesthetic of the original art. Such a bummer but that's show business.
@@seansoku67 don't you know every single movie is supposed to be a cookie cutter action/comedy/scifi/fantasy/pro consumerism/adventure/family flick because that's cinema and anything that tries to be different or remotely creative isn't cinema
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.
I thought this movie going to be a thought provoking and about *depthness* and every actor would've talked in a gritty and existential manner yk, about *LIFE* etc. There's nothing that matches or tells us anything about the art of sorts. Instead we got some goofyahh "funny" lines and the same shi- we saw on avengers movies. let's see what the box office has to say when it comes out.
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.
@@swagfreshboi3515the thing is, is that the book tells SO much more than the movie/show ever does. It’s the same concept with IT; the book tells everything and has so much detail in it, but the movie kinda slides over that detail and puts a tarp over it. Like, you know what’s there and what’s going on, but it doesn’t explain much and you can’t really get a good grasp on it. I say the books come off a lot better than the movie/show. You kinda pull off your own emotions and own experiences in your mind and play your own situations in your head and really spark that broad imagination into the reading.
@wrcpatrick but even the visuals...there's no sense of mystery or loneliness, half the time they're towering monoliths surrounded by fog...this just looks like real steel 2 or something haha...and that's an insult to real steel
@@ArchieBurnett-xr6hwthat’s true, and that’s what im really hoping for with this film. I read the book, and I love that sense of sad dystopian-liminal feeling you get from it. It really brings out that indescribable emotion that stays with you about the book and art style long after reading/seeing it. But yeah, I do hope that this film brings that emotion back out and stays on track to the point of the book within most of it
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
@@shealupkes I've never heard of the book, so I'm out of the loop on this. How can you tell they shat all over his work when this trailer didn't show much?
@@ThePkmnYPerson Because there's literally nothing in there from the books storyline. Quite a bit of the imagery, but the setting is clearly different - i.e. it's like they took (some of) the images from the book, put those on screen, but wrote a film without reading any of the words from the book.
Well you have a choice of adapting a depressing, but solemn dystopian future like Blade Runner but with robots, or make it more mainstream and star-studded with modern audiences. Just remember to watch with low/mid expectations, and you'll never be disappointed
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
As a fan of Simon Stålenhag, this trailer is giving me the same vibes as the Minecraft movie did. "Lets just take a thing people like and make a generic movie with that thing being a surface level aesthetic and have it filled with "insert current roster of popular actors"".
To be fair, whoever directed the Tales from the Loop miniseries did a pretty good job in my opinion. But I agree this one doesn't look too good unfortunately
This story doesn't need Chriss Pratt it was a story of a girl and her droid wandering the dystopian future, there was no Han Solo wanna be escort with them.
@@wherespetscop2pyro225 What? I'm pretty sure the book is set AFTER a robot rebellion, hence the journey having littered robots of all sizes and shapes in disarray. The images pretty clearly implied there was a revolution of some kind, leaving the world in a sort of post-apocalyptic era where everything is shit and people prefer to live in a VR world. You can correct me if I'm wrong, but that was the interpretation I got.
What are you expecting a 2 hour long movie about a girl just walking through the mojave? While I too love the book I have to admit that would be boring in movie form. Just be glad it's being made Into a movie. And this is only a trailer the movie might actually be good
This should've been a low-budget atmospheric horror movie, not a CGI filled buddy adventure. They COMPLETELY missed the point of the book. No wonder Simon doesn't have his name on this. I'll bet he's pissed they massacred his boy!
I’m impressed they managed to capture the story, atmosphere and tone of the book so perfectly. Maybe Netflix can reimagine ‘Jaws’ next and put the shark in outer space with his ocean-dwelling super friends on a cosmic quest to rescue the Golden Medallion and save Planet Uranus.
I will not comment about the cliche plot or predictable writing, but the teaser totally lost the pastel tones of the original book, that made Stalenhag designs so captivating. It's yet another colorless blue/dirty-orange Hollywood take on yet anothe licensed property.
@@shageenthirugnanakumar unlike Simon Stalenhag. And this movie is based on his artbook where the muted yet striking palette is one of the most prominent features.
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.
That which has been is what will be, That which is done is what will be done, And there is nothing new under the sun. Is there anything of which it may be said, “See, this is new”? It has already been in ancient times before us. There is no remembrance of former things, Nor will there be any remembrance of things that are to come By those who will come after.
Y’all should take the music from either the Electric state book or RPG tralier and make of a edit of this tralier to see if it can capture the vibe from the book
This trailer is, literally, a beat-for-beat template of _any_ given trailer released the past ten years. _That's_ how generic and lifeless they've made this. They took a fantastic piece of art and butchered it with a blunt knife until nothing but shards of the former self remained.
Because they have to do it, the Russo brothers bought the film rights, they didn't give it to them and the author didn't help them when making the film because they have to give him credit.
@@Darkness1984 The author of the book version, which is 10000x better than this Marvel-style crap movie. I'm glad he isn't credited because this is nothing like the books
It seems the people who have read the book describe it as a haunting cautionary tale about what has been lost, but based on this trailer it seems to be an action/comedy movie.
Yeah I love him, but he needs to start turning down some roles because he’s getting overexposed. Most of his roles since Breaking Bad have been generic and forgettable
@@Lion_Heart_Zimbabwe aren't you judging them by calling them great actors? Or is it only judging if you disagree and the person you're retorting doesn't actually mention their acting ability
yeah this is so wrong. In the book, the robots had long since won. Sure there was wreckage of them everywhere, but they won. What parts of humanity survived were enslaved to an AI hive mind.
they immediately spoiled the entire point of her journey, too. its supposed to be slowly revealed that she's looking for her brother, by her memories, during the roadtrip
It kinda looks like The Electric State… But it doesn’t feel like The Electric State. I don’t think I’ve ever been more disappointed about something I’ve looked forward to for ages.
If it felt like it, it would be as slow and boring as Tales from the Loop. A great book, but one which had a slow pace that didn't translate well into the show. This film would do badly if it tried to copy the books pacing. I'm sure it will be a good watch.
@@ArchieBurnett-xr6hw Yeah but I feel it could still be entertaining if they made it a sombre, dystopian road trip film. This looks like it misses the whole message
@@ArchieBurnett-xr6hw They could still have action in it like using the detective who appears in the original book, fighting off the withered husks controlled by the NeuroCasters
@@TheStorrman They can have the fighting parts in it anyway. Besides, this is a good chance to expand the lore of the electric state. Also, trailers do often have the hyper energy needed to real in audiences. Fallout had that, and it ended up being something that people enjoyed. This could end up being the same thing.
After the precious job they did on the adaptation of "Tales from the Loop", how can they turn a beautiful book as "Electri State" into this generic blockbuster? And where the hell is Simon Stålenhag? He's not even mentioned in the credits... Well, maybe that says it all about this attempt of adaptation.
"They" didn't make the 'Tales from the Loop' series. That was an Amazon Prime adaptation. Comp!etely different studio. Stalenhag wasn't credited in the advertising for that either because,... a) Most people don't know who he is and b) like that series, he wasn't involved in the creative production of this either and likely just sold the rights to the Artwork to be adapted.
@@Cbricklyne I know that. My point is why couldn't they addapt this in the same way because "Tales" and "Electric" shares the same reflexive spirit as all the art from Stålenhag does.
tales of the loop did a boring job though, absolutely didnt like that in anyway, the dystopian moody vibe was there though but vibes dosntt always equal good movie.
@@afrosymphony8207 Boring if you think a movie or serie has to have fights and humor every minute to be good. Have you seen movies from directors as Bergman or Gus van Sant or others like them? Bergman is one of the greatest directors of all time and, guess what, he didn't care about the Hollywood's rhythm.
@@C_L_Mena Because if they did that, you'd get the same complaints like afrosymphony8207 above. That it's too dark and moody and dystopian and boring. Which might be great for people who are fans of the book, but not great for a streamer that is trying to get more people than just the book-readers to watch the series. And yu can try to justify or complain about it how much you want, but YOU, the book-reader - are NOT the primary audience that a show like this is intended for, nor that the studio or streamer is aiming for. Because guess what? There are more of them (non-book readers who know nothing about Stalenhag or the book, but who DO know Chris Pratt, Millie Bobbie Brown, etc...) than there are of YOU. This is just basic movie-making show business 101. Sorry for you to discover you're not the center of the universe. They pitched this idea and this story to Stalenhag and he was fine with it, and he's even promoting the movie on his social media accounts. So.......yeah. Sorry.
I have been obsessed with Simon Stalenhag's artwork for 15+ years! It's still so crazy to me that his artwork spawned a series on Amazon Prime, and now a Feature Film on Netflix! That's how insanely good his artwork is. If you don't know this artist, you absolutely need to look into him. It is strange however, that there is no mention of him in this trailer.
@@youneedtoreconsider6551 What "story"? This isn't based on a story. It's an adaptation of artwork he created into a newly created story. What the help are even talking about? Are you people just looking for things to whine about at this point?
@@grey9537 It's called Tales From The Loop. The show and this movie are definitely taking some liberties in changing things of his narrative, but the artwork is really the main thing for me. They did a great job of capturing the essence of how his art looks and feels.
I was so excited for an adaptation and always thought Stålenhags work would make wonders if done correctly. The only thing his work and this movie will have in common is the title and the robots. Everything else will be standard, cheap hollywood blockbuster action with a predictable story, boring, seen-before-characters and writing that makes your skin crawl. It doesn't take more than a quick google search to compare the two. I don't understand how it's possible to fumble so hard. I don't mind adaptations taking a little liberty to make changes from the source material, but this just feels lazy and borderline disrespectful.
"I don't understand how it's possible to fumble so hard." Same! The book gives you not concept art but literal finished art for some of the most beautiful, cinematic shots imaginable. How do they go from that to this?!
I don't think this film even does justice to the art design, it's complete garbage. It's a made for kids pg-13 movie straight to streaming pile of trash.
I can understand if you don't think it fits for this project, but I enjoy listening to epic versions of old pop songs. I enjoy hearing songs I like in different styles. Example: there's a version of 7 Nation Army that's done in the style of a 1960s jazz song and it's really cool. I get thinking that trailers over-do it with using them but I don't agree with the sentiment towards the song itself.
Well, I WAS looking forward to this but seems like all the mystery, menace, and atmosphere from the source material has been dumped for a more conventional quippy buddy adventure. Which I should have guessed with Chris Pratt attached.
Yes let's take a melacholic reading about the search for humanity's core in the wake of a desperate rebellion against corportative oppression into a meaningless corporative blockbuster with guns and chris pratt and lots of marvel style jokes
So basically the opposite of what Amazon did. Yet Amazon was considered a disappointment even though they nailed the source material tonally. Maybe some things were just never meant for motion picture, no matter how hard you flip it around.
Man, I really love the Amazon series. I know it wasn’t everyone’s cup of tea. But that was my second favorite sci-fi series of course dark from Netflix is number one. But I still hope that there’s still room for more slow pace atmospheric sci-fi media.
It might be a transformers one situation where the trailer is actually misleading. But I dobut it. I have seen demos. Not full games, DEMOS that get this right tonality. Hail to the rainbow and boneworks comes to mind.
Electric state is supposed to be about the search for humanity, after the drone wars where huge drones fought against each other, humanity connected to the network and was so dependent that it began to die out because they did not live a normal life but in virtual reality. Civilization has collapsed. PS: The drones in the demo are ridiculously small, in the real Electric State the drones are the size of aircraft carriers and buildings.
"They must've only looked at the art" I've only looked at the art, never even read the book, and I still understood the vibe. Dear writers, never let Netflix get a hold of your work for adaptation
For sure! I think of Chris Pratt, and and action! Much action and love and party! And horror, ooh spooky! Yes this will make the kassa ring. If you need help with anything else, just mention.
@@homelander7742”Nobody knew existed” Evidently a lot of people read the book and are disappointed with the adaptation. Just because YOU didn’t know about it doesn’t mean it’s an obscure book, you just have your head in the sand.
I love the fact the a lovely surreal and depressing dystopian trip through a hellscape became a blockbuster with bright and stale humor and a pg movie storyline. What was the point of changing the whole thing, general audiences wouldn't have found it entertaining, the point of the source material wasn't supposed to be entertaining, it was honest and severed as a warning for technology and over production
@@reservoirdude92 Nah,doubt it.The most generic,bland,unattractive action movies with big names usually have big views and are watched by lots of casual users.
@@gingerjudkins5416 Oh,I'm not talking about this project,actually this looks promising,but Gray Man,Atlas and so forth, always got good views in the first weeks,cause famous faces sell these movies to people.
@@Cbricklyne they gave this the same name as the book and gave the characters the same names and appearance and has the same title, it's a blatant attempt at an adaptation
I have to say I'm kind of disappointed this is so American. One of the things I loved so much about Simon Stålenhag's work was the mixture of sci-fi elements with the Swedish countryside. I'm not even Swedish but it reminds me of Ireland in a weirdly almost nostalgic way. Seeing somewhere like where I grew up go through that sort of imagining of the future hits differently, I've never seen Ireland in a fictional setting and deffo not sci-fi, it was so cool, and switching it to America again feels kinda meh, like we've seen it before. Seeing elements you're used to be warped and changed is such a big part of futuristic media, but a sci-fi yellow school bus and a normal yellow school bus are both fantasies to me. They only exist in made-up movies cause my school bus was never bright yellow, growing up I thought that was just for cartoons. Edit: I've just remembered "The Electric State" book is specifically based on a girl traveling across 1980s-style America. I still think there was potential to switch things up a little tho
This trailer gives me the feeling that it is going to do what a lot of adaptations do now, where the aesthetic is precise and well done, but the underlying message is obscured or just completely ignored.
@@Cbricklyne So, The Electric State (the book and illustrations), is a cautionary tale about how rampant technology and hedonism led to humanity's destruction; how the pursuit of pleasure and the next shiny spectacle (consumerism) literally led to death and decay. There's some pretty good book/illustration reviews on UA-cam.
@@Cbricklyne I genuinely request you read the book. It's a quick read - even for a troglodyte like myself. Simon's pictures have lovely detail. And the story is much more personal and tight. The book centers on MAINLY 2 characters.
Oh my god this looks stupid. I really liked in the original artwork how all the robots and other machines were mostly inert scenery and for the most part just everyday items of junk. Amazon got this right in Tales From The Loop - none of this should be so in your face. Misinterpreted the source material is my take at this point.
Does Hollywood only have 12 actors?

@@wherespetscop2pyro225 What? I'm pretty sure the book is set AFTER a robot rebellion, hence the journey having littered robots of all sizes and shapes in disarray.

You can correct me if I'm wrong, but that was the interpretation I got.
What are you expecting a 2 hour long movie about a girl just walking through the mojave? While I too love the book I have to admit that would be boring in movie form. Just be glad it's being made Into a movie. And this is only a trailer the movie might actually be good

I have this exact thought as I was watching the trailer
Y’all should take the music from either the Electric state book or RPG tralier and make of a edit of this tralier to see if it can capture the vibe from the book
This trailer is, literally, a beat-for-beat template of _any_ given trailer released the past ten years. _That's_ how generic and lifeless they've made this. They took a fantastic piece of art and butchered it with a blunt knife until nothing but shards of the former self remained.
Aaaaand of course Netflix turned a book of incredibly beautiful and intriguing illustrations into a run-of-the-mill action comedy.
when will netflix learn to keep their dirty hands off good art
F Netflix. A movie of Simon Stalenhag's art needs to be on a cinema screen.

But it doesn’t feel like The Electric State.
I don’t think I’ve ever been more disappointed about something I’ve looked forward to for ages.
If it felt like it, it would be as slow and boring as Tales from the Loop. A great book, but one which had a slow pace that didn't translate well into the show. This film would do badly if it tried to copy the books pacing. I'm sure it will be a good watch.
@@ArchieBurnett-xr6hw Yeah but I feel it could still be entertaining if they made it a sombre, dystopian road trip film. This looks like it misses the whole message
@@ArchieBurnett-xr6hw They could still have action in it like using the detective who appears in the original book, fighting off the withered husks controlled by the NeuroCasters
@@TheStorrman They can have the fighting parts in it anyway. Besides, this is a good chance to expand the lore of the electric state. Also, trailers do often have the hyper energy needed to real in audiences. Fallout had that, and it ended up being something that people enjoyed. This could end up being the same thing.
It barely even looks like Electric State aside from some robot designs.
After the precious job they did on the adaptation of "Tales from the Loop", how can they turn a beautiful book as "Electri State" into this generic blockbuster?
And where the hell is Simon Stålenhag? He's not even mentioned in the credits... Well, maybe that says it all about this attempt of adaptation.
"They" didn't make the 'Tales from the Loop' series.
That was an Amazon Prime adaptation.
Comp!etely different studio.
Stalenhag wasn't credited in the advertising for that either because,... a) Most people don't know who he is and b) like that series, he wasn't involved in the creative production of this either and likely just sold the rights to the Artwork to be adapted.
@@Cbricklyne I know that. My point is why couldn't they addapt this in the same way because "Tales" and "Electric" shares the same reflexive spirit as all the art from Stålenhag does.
tales of the loop did a boring job though, absolutely didnt like that in anyway, the dystopian moody vibe was there though but vibes dosntt always equal good movie.
@@afrosymphony8207 Boring if you think a movie or serie has to have fights and humor every minute to be good.
Have you seen movies from directors as Bergman or Gus van Sant or others like them? Bergman is one of the greatest directors of all time and, guess what, he didn't care about the Hollywood's rhythm.
@@C_L_Mena
Because if they did that, you'd get the same complaints like afrosymphony8207 above.
That it's too dark and moody and dystopian and boring. Which might be great for people who are fans of the book, but not great for a streamer that is trying to get more people than just the book-readers to watch the series.
And yu can try to justify or complain about it how much you want, but YOU, the book-reader - are NOT the primary audience that a show like this is intended for, nor that the studio or streamer is aiming for.
Because guess what?
There are more of them (non-book readers who know nothing about Stalenhag or the book, but who DO know Chris Pratt, Millie Bobbie Brown, etc...) than there are of YOU.
This is just basic movie-making show business 101.
Sorry for you to discover you're not the center of the universe.
They pitched this idea and this story to Stalenhag and he was fine with it, and he's even promoting the movie on his social media accounts. So.......yeah.
Sorry.

I have been obsessed with Simon Stalenhag's artwork for 15+ years! It's still so crazy to me that his artwork spawned a series on Amazon Prime, and now a Feature Film on Netflix! That's how insanely good his artwork is. If you don't know this artist, you absolutely need to look into him. It is strange however, that there is no mention of him in this trailer.
I'm glad there isn't a mention honestly, this is clearly not his vision for this story.

@@grey9537 It's called Tales From The Loop. The show and this movie are definitely taking some liberties in changing things of his narrative, but the artwork is really the main thing for me. They did a great job of capturing the essence of how his art looks and feels.
@@grey9537 Tales from the Loop
I was so excited for an adaptation and always thought Stålenhags work would make wonders if done correctly. The only thing his work and this movie will have in common is the title and the robots. Everything else will be standard, cheap hollywood blockbuster action with a predictable story, boring, seen-before-characters and writing that makes your skin crawl. It doesn't take more than a quick google search to compare the two. I don't understand how it's possible to fumble so hard. I don't mind adaptations taking a little liberty to make changes from the source material, but this just feels lazy and borderline disrespectful.
"I don't understand how it's possible to fumble so hard." Same! The book gives you not concept art but literal finished art for some of the most beautiful, cinematic shots imaginable. How do they go from that to this?!
They didn't trust the original source material....
I don't think this film even does justice to the art design, it's complete garbage. It's a made for kids pg-13 movie straight to streaming pile of trash.

@@lambyUK2007 what are you talkin about? It's just an Oasis song.
I can understand if you don't think it fits for this project, but I enjoy listening to epic versions of old pop songs. I enjoy hearing songs I like in different styles. Example: there's a version of 7 Nation Army that's done in the style of a 1960s jazz song and it's really cool. I get thinking that trailers over-do it with using them but I don't agree with the sentiment towards the song itself.
To be fair it's an epic version of a 90s song, which is pretty much what this movie seems to be.
@@youliseas5711 Dear lord.

I have to say I'm kind of disappointed this is so American. One of the things I loved so much about Simon Stålenhag's work was the mixture of sci-fi elements with the Swedish countryside. I'm not even Swedish but it reminds me of Ireland in a weirdly almost nostalgic way. Seeing somewhere like where I grew up go through that sort of imagining of the future hits differently, I've never seen Ireland in a fictional setting and deffo not sci-fi, it was so cool, and switching it to America again feels kinda meh, like we've seen it before. Seeing elements you're used to be warped and changed is such a big part of futuristic media, but a sci-fi yellow school bus and a normal yellow school bus are both fantasies to me. They only exist in made-up movies cause my school bus was never bright yellow, growing up I thought that was just for cartoons.
Edit: I've just remembered "The Electric State" book is specifically based on a girl traveling across 1980s-style America. I still think there was potential to switch things up a little tho
They filmed this in Georgia state. The entire book is in CA. Massive let down in setting alone.
americans cant relate to anyone else
This trailer gives me the feeling that it is going to do what a lot of adaptations do now, where the aesthetic is precise and well done, but the underlying message is obscured or just completely ignored.
What "underlying message"?
