The Electric State is the latest offering from directing duo Joe Russo and Anthony Russo .

Millie Bobby Brown stars as orphaned teen Michelle , who has a chip on her shoulder and a little brother whose consciousness has somehow ended up in a cartoony-looking robot that can only spit catchphrases.

The movie is set in a world drowning in kitsch and anti-robot sentiment.

The Electric State is nothing if not a monument to missed opportunities.

The movie's best effort seems to be Pratt 's smuggler, who feels modeled after Han Solo meets Andy from Parks and Recreation.

The effect of all this is that of a sloppy collage. Smacked together with visible glue are some cool visuals, some popular performers.
