Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt both have successful careers in the entertainment industry. And now that they’ve teamed up for The Electric State, the result is as *electric* as you’d expect. 

Brown and Pratt recently teamed up for an all-new Netflix film, The Electric State. Although it just premiered on March 14, it’s already claimed the number one spot on the streaming service’s list of most-watched movies. (It’s currently ranked ahead of Kraven: The Hunter, Trap and Despicable Me 4.)

The Electric State is like a less scary version of The Last of Us. It takes place in the ’90s, but it’s not the same plaid-loving decade we lived through. This one is futuristic, technologically advanced and the aftermath of a fictional war between robots and humans. 

Brown stars as a young woman named Michelle, who teams up with a robot to travel across the country in search of her brother. When they cross paths with a drifter (Pratt), they rely on each other to reach their destination. 

In addition to Brown and Pratt, The Electric State also stars Ke Huy Quan, Giancarlo Esposito, Stanley Tucci and Woody Harrelson.

Despite its popularity on Netflix, it’s important to note that critics had mixed feelings about the sci-fi flick. In fact, the film received a 14 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes, which is fairly low rating for a movie starring Brown and Pratt. 

I’ll let you be the judge.
