Hey there, cool cats and curious kittens! Have you ever seen a movie that everyone was talking about, even if some people weren't exactly… thrilled? Well, that's happening right now with a brand-new movie on Netflix called "The Electric State," starring Millie Bobby Brown! It's like when you bring home a fancy new cat toy – some cats might go wild for it, while others just give it a sniff and walk away.
This movie is a real big deal, a true "blockbuster," which means it cost a lot of money to make – a whopping $320 million! That's like buying enough catnip to fill a swimming pool! Netflix is hoping everyone will watch it, just like how you hope your cat will finally use that expensive cat tree you bought.
But here's the thing: some movie critics, who are like super-serious cat judges at a cat show, haven't been very impressed. They've given "The Electric State" what the original article calls "scathing reviews," which means they didn't like it very much. Imagine a cat turning up its nose at a bowl of tuna – that's kind of what these critics are doing!
Now, let's think about this from the point of view of a cool, futuristic robot cat. We’ll call him Bolt. Bolt has been observing all the humans watching “The Electric State.” He notices that even though some humans (the critics) aren't happy, lots of other humans are still watching it. Bolt wonders, "Why is this happening?"
Well, even though the critics might not be purring with delight, Netflix probably isn't too worried. The article mentions that Netflix "won't mind" the bad reviews. Why not? Because lots of people are still tuning in to watch Millie Bobby Brown in this exciting, futuristic adventure! It’s like when your cat brings you a dead mouse – you might not be thrilled, but you appreciate the effort (sort of!).
Think of it like this: sometimes, you might not like the same flavor of cat food as your best friend's cat. Just because one cat doesn't like it, doesn't mean another cat won't gobble it right up! Movies are the same way. What one person finds boring, another person might find super exciting.
So, what's "The Electric State" even about? It's a science fiction story set in the future, with lots of cool special effects. It's like a giant, shiny ball of yarn for your eyes! Millie Bobby Brown, who you might know from "Stranger Things," plays the main character. She goes on a journey through a strange and dangerous world. The story is based on a book of the same name.
The important thing to remember is that even if some people don't like something, it doesn't mean you won't! So, if you're curious about "The Electric State," give it a watch! You might just find it's the cat's meow, even if the critics think it's more like a hairball.
Bolt, the robot cat, concludes that human entertainment is a complex and purr-plexing thing. He learns that popularity doesn't always equal perfect reviews, and that sometimes, a big, shiny toy is fun to play with, even if it's a little bit… weird. He also understands that Netflix is hoping lots of humans will watch it, regardless of the reviews. As Bolt computes, "The humans seem to enjoy watching different stories, even if some of them don't like the same ones."
