The Electric State reminds me a lot of of Borderland - a fun idea, some well done visuals, but, well that's it about it - the action is boring, the dialogues bad, the humor mostly cheesy, and the whole story gets more and more redundant and predictable as it moves on. No doubt, I would die in boredom writing that story/script. I really don't what kind of people think and decide that it is a good idea to spend more than 300 million dollars for such kind of, well, mediocrity. Like Borderland, The Electric State is one of those contemporary movies that will be forgotten fast and fall in that void too many movies these days belong. Final verdict: just boring.
Last note: I didn't read the book (author: Simon Stålenhag), so I have no clue if the original story is that boring or just the movie adaptation failed big time.
