How could anyone look at The Electric State and think, "this is screaming to be an action-oriented thriller. Also, we should invent a role for everyone's favorite, Chris Pratt."

First impressions:
The cast for this is really stacked.
I'm really tired of digital make-up. It's so unnecessary.
The mood of the trailer doesn't seem to match the mood of the show - it's a dystopia but it's also the Russos so I guess I'm just expecting quips/one-liners and more silliness than the trailer makes it seem like it has.
Probably not gonna watch this unless it gets really good reviews which I highly doubt it will since it's Netflix), and also Chris Pratt is a hurdle.
It is not what i expected. The book is grim and sad... here you have the son of Transformers and Zombieland (i mean the vibe it gives me...). My gosh....

In a vacuum it looks decent, and it gets the visual aesthetic sort of right, but the tone is completely different from the source material. The world of the book is eerie and apocalyptic, quietly consumed from within by this mysterious neural VR technology, and while the underlying design of the various robots does look gaudy and cartoonish, in the narrative they range from unsettlingly decrepit to almost Lovecraftian. There's a strong theme of a monstrous alien hive mind arising from our technology and shrugging off the human world that birthed it. This... it's more like Fallout with Marvel humor, plus an endearing ragtag team of androids.
I'll watch it and may even enjoy it, but it's not looking like a faithful adaptation at all.
The source is very different from the trailer. It's desolate and melancholy, and it's probably better suited for a dialogue-less arthouse film than this... whatever this is.

Uhh... what the actual fuck is this shit?
I don't think I've seen something more separated from the original source since World War Z.

Hm. I definitely should read graphic novel. For me teaser do not look promising, but thats just my personal impression.
