The book was amazing with some pretty freaky concepts, they could have gone with unknown actors and made it really atmospheric, but it looks like they've turned it into a marvel movie
This trailer makes me think that its a hollywood movie that is cheesy and has no soul. Even the music is not on point. I dont know the real work, but you make it look interesting compared to the movie. I will look it up later on.
There is no way a single person making this film read the book. Holy crap, this isn't like Minecraft where the visuals were just off, they literally took EVERYTHING they saw and threw it into a dumpster fire.
welp i didn't read the book and actually think it looks pretty good - so apparently they are taking the gamble that there are more of us than people who actually read the book. But once again seems Hollywood / Netflix is taking another dump on the fans and I'm sorry. Hey, at least we all have Sonic 3 coming out soon tho lol.
@@TheFroneyZone just because there are more people who haven't read the book than who have doesn't justify ignoring the entire tone of the source material.

@@anarchistangler I mean, the bots are probably mostly those from more civilian or urban areas.

They had the perfect opportunity to create a masterpiece, something like The Road, using this source material-a silent, melancholic road trip through a strange and bizarre dystopian world, driven more by atmosphere than by dialogue. I was convinced that's what we’d get when I first heard about it. But what did we end up with? Initially, I was disappointed that Stålenhag’s name wasn't mentioned in the trailer, only the Russo brothers. But now, after seeing what they've done, it’s clear that besides borrowing the name and some visual elements, this adaptation has almost nothing to do with what Stålenhag created. Honestly, I’m relieved his name isn't more involved-his reputation shouldn’t suffer because others were too greedy for undeserved attention. It reminds me of the Alien controversy with Alien 3, when they pushed H.R. Giger out of the project, and it backfired in the end.
"a silent, melancholic road trip through a strange and bizarre dystopian world, driven more by atmosphere than by dialogue". THAT right there! But It was given to people that would appease Hollywood execs and an audience who want their Top 40 music as a film. Something easier to chew on.
The book’s one of my favorites. It takes you on a trip through this cold, kinda apocalyptic, and really unique world. The vibe you get while reading, especially with the artwork between the pages, is just unmatched. Honestly, I already feel like the movie's gonna be a disappointment.
Stålenhag . . . People need to find his Illustrated Books, especially Electric State. The Art has an unsettling vibe through it all. Especially when you see signage, and derelict robots with 1920's/30's styled cutesy "faces" that are so out of place, it makes the world stranger after going through a "modern" (see the book) war while people are lost in their "VR" and rot away. Its Dark, but it had a style, worn rusty beauty and mystery. It was a book and art that let you ask a lot of questions, mostly without answers. But YOU were left to fill in the blanks. What we have now is people taking those elements and tossing them out the window, too many characters and designs that take it FAR away from what drew us to this dystopian world that was VERY slowly coming back to life. Its as if it were MARVELIZED for those with low attention spans and need quick gratification. And then add "Robots deserve rights too" and "villains" . . . Where did that come from? If I wanted that, I'd watch "Bicentennial Man", "Ai", "Ghost in the Shell (anime)" or "The Creator". It could have been handled with less actors (maybe more characters in flashbacks) and a very unusual stark, sparse tone. Where you could hear _nature_ coming back to life through all the derelict weaponry leftover from a war that you see everywhere in the landscape, while wondering where the "2" characters were taking us. - But now it looks like a "Feel Good" story heading to a happy Hollywood ending. I guess I shouldn't have read the book and been invested in what the art created in my head if it were to be on screen. The Producers of this film didn't get the atmosphere of the book and art, and decided to use it as a "basis" for just another fantasy movie. Note: I was a Conceptual Designer & Storyboard Artist for 30 years, and still collect making-of movie, sci-fi/fantasy, anime art books (and those that create book and album cover art) and various comics, from Japan, Italy, Spain, UK, France, the U.S. and "Heavy Metal" magazine and the like. That is why I am soo invested in the "look" and feel of Stålenhag's book vs what is shown in the trailer.
so, the makers of the movie answered the questions in the way they saw fit? as you yourself stated in your opening paragraph? it is left to the reader to do that? so, the movie adaptation producers did exactly that? but, you are still faulting them for doing that? seems…. sus.😑
@@nozrepThe art could be “chosen” to be left up to the reader but there IS an actual story to this. It is a roadtrip through a desolate wasteland of a world with scattered remnants of what once was, with a single protagonist viewing it all. It is nothing like we were shown, which is just a shame.
The book is one of my favorite things ever put to print. The subtle world building details included things like people making drugs out of liquid extracted from war-machine electrical-equipment, the war itself against an unknown opponent, robots/drones/AI creating a potential hive mind of VR-addicted humans capable of doing their bidding, and a bunch more details/interpretations that appear to be missing in a big way here. Hell, I didn't even see the mid-90's Oldsmobile Delta 98 that she makes a good chunk of the journey in. I'll still watch it, but I have a feeling I'll drink more than usual when I do.
Well I agree it's often unfair to cast too strong an opinion before seeing it, I was just thinking: Why do I not care about this at all? How much of it is what we are seeing and hearing and how much of it is the trust that we have lost?
Did Stalenhag agree to this? Taking his visuals but changing everything else? This is the Disneyfication of his work. The electric state is one of my favorite books and it's not like this. There are no goofy robots, not a robot uprising, it's apocalyptic slow paced, dark and misterious. there is no guy with her, in fact she had a girlfriend whose father was a priest who beat his daughter. this is a terrible money grab.
That is all that they have left. Turn every horrifying Kafkaesque episode into a magical family romp vacation where everything is ill defined and disproportionately out of character. It’s so nothing changes and the fanatics go on to lose the prescience of a usefully abstract adult mind. It’s the easiest path to take to the lack of adequate self fulfillment, as brainwashed families happily stand in lines.
@@linndrumfan1959is it sad though? Stellies worked his butt off and created something awesome, which frankly probably didn’t make that much money but now he’s probably got a boat load of it. I’m sure he couldn’t be happier. I hope he buys himself a McMansion. I hope he buys a convertible and drives it in the winter. I hope he has generational wealth and blows it on utter garbage. Good for him. Hell yeah.
Two years ago I accidentally found two images of Stalenhag's work on the internet. As soon as I understood what it was about, I immediately ordered the book directly in the United States. I've read it at least 30 times since then, it's beautiful. Stalenhag's tables are fantastic and very evocative, I see a bit of cyberpunk mixed with a sort of decadent drama. The book is in all respects a great work. Looking at the images of the film, however, I am stunned and disappointed. It seems to me that we are very very distant from the paper work, it seems like a cheap and completely out of place Christmas film, full of flat and stereotyped characters. The director, the screenwriters and the producer probably appreciated the drawings in the book but unfortunately they didn't read a word of it, I hope.......Because if they intended to make an adaptation then they were in the wrong profession, they should buy a spade and go and dig the earth
So Netflix have taken Stalenhag's incredoble atmospheric, deep and thought-provoking designs and artwork and given them to a Marvel director? Good job, Netflix...good job...
@@CommanderViviax Yeah this looks like a good time at the movies. The book sounds depressing, but some of my favorite books are depressing as hell so I'm not complaining.
Oh God no, the vibe of this is so off from Stalenhag's original work. The loop kind of had it, bleak, mysterious and nostalgic. This just looks like Disneyfied trash with goofball actors and goofy robots
For someone who doesn't know the original work from Simon, what would you recommend checking out? This trailer does look a bit odd, but I don't know anything about the author :)
I can't remember the last time Hollywood imposed a plot on something successfully, but it's still at least technically possible these are the ONLY trailer-friendly parts.
You know the movie is bad when the only thing that you liked in the trailer was Champagne Supernova - OASIS, playing in the background. So glad that band is coming back after all these years!
Such a lost opportunity to make a brilliant film. The only thing missing in the preview to make it genuinely unremarkable is JaJa Binks. Netfix must have teamed up with Disney for this one.
They ruined it, what is this. It's not supposed to be an adventure, It's supposed to be eerie with a very strong unsettling vibe Twisted into a bone chilling liminal world. Why would you Take Stalen's work and mix it with "Disneyland".
Instead of having a director that knows horror, they go with a director that knows, the avengers. What is wrong with these people. They trash this whole concept. They could have made this movie one of the creepiest movies ever made. They dropped the ball on this. The neurocasters are supposed to look creepy, not like bumblebee's foot.
The Electric State is a book that paints a bleak picture of what rampant consumerism might do to our society. The robot style is (I assume) intentionally commercial-looking in order to satyrize soulless corporations and shallow consumption. But this movie seems to veer away from that premise, turning it into an action-adventure movie, which is probably why the robot style seems out of place. Then again, I could be totally wrong about both things.
In the book everyone uses VR headsets, the virtual world itself becomes self-aware taking control of some of those connected to it, while others just glitch out and freeze with their headsets on until they starve. Those now controlled are made to build war robots out of anything including goofy animatronic marketing props.
trailer looks fantastic to me! i had no idea this was a book or whatever, and the comments section doesn’t seem very pleased. but to me, someone with no idea what this even was, or who Stalenhag is, the trailer looked freakin’ awesome! I will look forward to watching it.
hopefully it will be worthy! after watching the trailer 😮💨 it seems like one of those cases where they saw the original material & then *"did their own thing with it"* , yet again😐 well lets hope it will be atleast good ..... but i would have rather liked to have seen an adaptation thats much darker & truer to the original story's feel tbh!
I would advise people to read the book first, the movie could still be good, but as people have already said it seems Disneyfied, I got the feeling from the book this was a dark bleak world, but as I said it could still be good and I think the original author deserves a big pay day.
Book authors who license their novels commonly take the attitude that the screenwriters and directors are artists, too, and are entitled to create a new work from the author's. Some will insist on doing the screenwriting, too.
Reading through the comments I can see that the expectations on this movie are low due to the fact it’s based on a book, and as most people agree book based movies tend to fall short
It's not even that it will fall short because it was based on a book, and they tend that way. The book is a beautifully bleak take on an abandoned world, where everything we see in this trailer is there, but static in a wasteland. There's not even a hint of a laugh in the whole book, except for the utter irony of smiling mascots in a desolate barred world. If you've ever seen 'The Road' with Vigo Mortensen (also based on a book), they are the sort of vibes that this film should have. Edit. Have a look at Curious Archive's video on it, it gives a great feel for the book
Because every movie now for some reason needs to be filled with silly one liners and ad lib jokes. Its completely obnoxious and makes me lose any interest i would have otherwise had.
This looks like bad AI. I love sci-fi but this looks stupid. Reading about all the praise and disservice to the book makes me want to read the book though.
I'm loving Simon Stålenhag's art. Nothing feels more like staring at a parallel universe than his mix of 80's nostalgia and futuristic high-tech vibes. Familiar and strange at the same time. Check out The Loop series if you haven't yet. I hope the movie will be as awesome as the trailer promises.
So it appears that Simon Stalenhag wasn’t involved in this production. The screenplay was written by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely. When you look at the movies they have written, it’s clear they have the dramatic range and depth that Claude Van Damme has as an actor. Oh well, that’s an opportunity forever lost.
I have the book and it's art creates a serene ambience reflecting world left behind. This is more about the battle still going on. Not the aftermath. I'll watch it and hope some of the book slips in.
The book was amazing with some pretty freaky concepts, they could have gone with unknown actors and made it really atmospheric, but it looks like they've turned it into a marvel movie
Creativity is dead its all about money now.
Star Lord and Falcon (new Captain America)
I watched the video, then read the posts...
Really hoped it was me, thinking the same criticism.
Hollywood sees Stalenhag book.... and thinks "New Transformers movie!"
Well, the directors helped make 3 different marvel movies
Based on the trailer, I believe the director(s) and producers completely missed the point of Stalenhag's work.
obviously. there's so much popcorn to be sold...
I literally stopped watching halfway through so I dont have any shitty memory association.
Yup. Disappointed.
This trailer makes me think that its a hollywood movie that is cheesy and has no soul. Even the music is not on point. I dont know the real work, but you make it look interesting compared to the movie. I will look it up later on.
Don't care, looks fun
Amazon's "Tales from the Loop" perfectly and beautifully captured Stalenhag's work. This is more like a Disney movie.
what changes would you have made?

In the book everyone uses VR headsets, the virtual world itself becomes self-aware taking control of some of those connected to it, while others just glitch out and freeze with their headsets on until they starve. Those now controlled are made to build war robots out of anything including goofy animatronic marketing props.
Picture book? 😁 @@FARSIDE0_0
This is my favorite song and to hear it on a trailer makes me tear up
trailer looks fantastic to me! i had no idea this was a book or whatever, and the comments section doesn’t seem very pleased. but to me, someone with no idea what this even was, or who Stalenhag is, the trailer looked freakin’ awesome! I will look forward to watching it.
Chris Partt may as well have wore the Star Loard costume here.
I don't know the source material, but it looks good to me.
Ahhh...the marvelous effect of a great track.
Another classic sci-if book turned into a Disneyfied money grab kids movie. It’s Ready Player One all over again.
hopefully it will be worthy!
after watching the trailer 😮💨 it seems like one of those cases where they saw the original material & then *"did their own thing with it"* , yet again😐
well lets hope it will be atleast good ..... but i would have rather liked to have seen an adaptation thats much darker & truer to the original story's feel tbh!
glad shorty is finally getting some roles.
Shortround!
I would advise people to read the book first, the movie could still be good, but as people have already said it seems Disneyfied, I got the feeling from the book this was a dark bleak world, but as I said it could still be good and I think the original author deserves a big pay day.
Yeah its a cool concept but looks goofy
This looks gooooooood 😁
Book authors who license their novels commonly take the attitude that the screenwriters and directors are artists, too, and are entitled to create a new work from the author's. Some will insist on doing the screenwriting, too.
You had me at Ke Huy Quan
Looking forward to it…🎉
Robots not doing it for me
Just wow and i cant wait for this movie to come out
Guardians of the Robots!
Guardians of the Pacific Rim or Guardians of the Transformers. Hehe.
Its good they didnt show the scary robot with the bloody hands.
1:56 the big robot taking them in the red bus is so adorable in my opinion, 😍
Alright kids... This is why you shouldn't do drugs
Reading through the comments I can see that the expectations on this movie are low due to the fact it’s based on a book, and as most people agree book based movies tend to fall short
I think it's even more clear that people believe the spirit of the book was entirely ignored in favor of something more Disney-style
It's not even that it will fall short because it was based on a book, and they tend that way.
The book is a beautifully bleak take on an abandoned world, where everything we see in this trailer is there, but static in a wasteland. There's not even a hint of a laugh in the whole book, except for the utter irony of smiling mascots in a desolate barred world.
If you've ever seen 'The Road' with Vigo Mortensen (also based on a book), they are the sort of vibes that this film should have.
Edit. Have a look at Curious Archive's video on it, it gives a great feel for the book
Why does this feel so .... Not interesting at all
Because every movie now for some reason needs to be filled with silly one liners and ad lib jokes. Its completely obnoxious and makes me lose any interest i would have otherwise had.
Cool. I have the book and never thought it would be adapted. I thought they should have made a video game from it.
This looks like bad AI. I love sci-fi but this looks stupid. Reading about all the praise and disservice to the book makes me want to read the book though.
Another netflix movie. Not known for being the best but now the norm.wake me up for the 10 minutes of good bits
Looks like another expensive Fail that doesn’t recreate source material
For anyone curious about the original work, I would highly recommend Curious Archive's videos on it and of course the original books themselves.
this i like.. finally something new and creative..
Very interesting, a different look, I like this theme, the film seems have sci-fi action and have some fun in it ! I’m curious to the result !
I'm loving Simon Stålenhag's art. Nothing feels more like staring at a parallel universe than his mix of 80's nostalgia and futuristic high-tech vibes. Familiar and strange at the same time. Check out The Loop series if you haven't yet. I hope the movie will be as awesome as the trailer promises.
I'm hipped
Oh my God, Who mąkę This shit?
So it appears that Simon Stalenhag wasn’t involved in this production. The screenplay was written by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely. When you look at the movies they have written, it’s clear they have the dramatic range and depth that Claude Van Damme has as an actor. Oh well, that’s an opportunity forever lost.
I thought the lead actress was 40. I looked her up and it turns out she's 20. What happened?
Hollywood...and who knows maybe even a diddy party.
@@haddenindustries2922 Lol
This looks fun.
This still looks good
This feels like Atomic Heart
This can't be remade and be PG-13.
Time to bring back grown up movies.
This looks awesome!
barely resembles the book
I have the book and it's art creates a serene ambience reflecting world left behind. This is more about the battle still going on. Not the aftermath. I'll watch it and hope some of the book slips in.
Ohh trailer seems interesting and plot is rather fascinating. On top of it we got Millie Brown and Chris Pratt It is a must watch Movie!!!
You forgot the most important person in this film; Mr Peanut.
This is the reason the Minecraft movie will suck. Because people will just watch a movie because big name actors are in it
Young girl you need to mature quite a bit this movie is trash.
thats 2 reasons NOT to see it
@@WhiteGuyMikedude can kids be kids and be excited for things? Or do we have to shame them into being joyless, cold robots like us?
Love Stalehnags what an Awesome Work :)
another cool concept ruined by netflix. This looks like trash
I have no idea what is going on here, but I am so IN!
Never thought I'd hear a trailer version of Champagne Supernova
OK for Netflix...but I think it would fail if released into theaters.
Why make such a saddistic movie?
Take my money and make me sad.
Thanks for the book promotion. Keep the film for yourself.
Would be sick if they made 3 movies based on the 3 books of Simon Stålenhag.
The choice of playing Champagne Supernova over the trailer is hilarious. Was it meant to be? I honestly can't tell what they're going for here.
