Whiskers twitching, little robot cat Unit 734 reporting for duty! News is buzzing about a brand-new movie on Netflix called "The Electric State," starring Millie Bobby Brown. It cost a whopping $320 million to make! That's like enough catnip to fill a whole swimming pool!
Now, here's where it gets a little…hairy. Some grown-up movie critics (they're like the super-judgy cats of the movie world) haven't been too happy with it. They've given it what you might call "scathing reviews." Scathing means really, really bad. Imagine a critic hissing and spitting like a scaredy-cat! According to the article, the reviews are savage, which means wild and untamed, like a feral kitty!
But guess what? Even though some critics are turning up their noses, lots of people are watching "The Electric State" anyway! It's a big hit! It's like when you bring home a new toy, and even though your grumpy old cat pretends not to care, you secretly catch them batting it around later. Netflix probably feels the same way.
Why doesn't Netflix mind the bad reviews? Well, remember that giant pile of catnip (aka $320 million)? Netflix figures that even if some people don't like the movie, enough people will watch it to make it worthwhile. It's like they're saying, "We spent a lot of money, but we think it'll be worth it in the end!"
The article mentioned that the movie has had "scathing reviews." That's a fancy way of saying some reviewers really didn't like it. They might have thought the story was confusing, or the acting wasn't very good, or maybe they just weren't in the mood for a movie about robots and adventures. Everyone has different tastes, just like some cats prefer tuna and others prefer salmon!
Think of it like this: Imagine you bake a giant cake. You use all your allowance money for the ingredients, and you work really hard to make it look amazing. But then, some people try it and say, "Ew, it's too sweet!" or "It needs more sprinkles!" You might feel a little sad, but if lots of other people love your cake and eat it all up, you'll still feel pretty good about yourself, right? That's how Netflix is probably feeling right now.
Netflix is a big company, and they make lots of different movies and TV shows. Some of them are huge hits, and some of them aren't. It's all part of the game. They know they can't please everyone, just like you can't always please your cat, no matter how much you try!
So, even though "The Electric State" has had a bit of a rocky start with the critics, it's still a popular movie on Netflix. And that's what really matters. After all, sometimes the movies that critics don't like are the ones that become the most fun to watch! It's like finding a random ball of yarn under the couch – it might not be fancy, but it can provide hours of entertainment!
Now, if you'll excuse me, Unit 734 needs a recharge and maybe a little nap. Keep your whiskers twitching for more movie news!
