Electric state [Netflix]

How does Netflix expect to recoup over $300 from this?

I'm going to go against the grain, and say I actually thought it was an enjoyable enough way to pass 2hrs. Kids thought it was good too, so maybe they are the target audience.

I did a bit of reading about the graphic novel afterwards, and would agree that they have made significant changes which perhaps veers away too much from the original style of it.

And I am not trying to justify the money spent on it either.

netflix & crap, colour me shocked

I haven't watched it yet but saw the trailer. It seemed completely unrelated to the book. The book had a mysterious post technology tone that I really liked. I gave it as a loan to a neighbor, never got it back.

The trailer seemed nothing like the book, which is sad. I can't bring myself to watch it. Like a lord of the rings adaptation with Adam Sandler doing fart jokes as golem.

I read an article saying that this was very poor but it doesn't even matter how bad it is, it will still be a hit on Netflix because it will get so many views regardless of its poor quality. If this is true, it's a pretty slippery slope if we are not already half way down it!

I should add to my review that it's was watchable and entertaining. It wasn't terrible. I just didn't like the visual style and felt it copied from too many other movie plots.
