Watchable and generic, but nowhere near as bad as critics are saying, The Electric State is an over-priced, derivative sci-fi that borrows heavily from films like WALL-E and especially Ready Player One, without truly having an identity of its own, but it’s far more tolerable than I was expecting given the savage reviews.

The story is about a stage actor/director whose wife unexpectedly dies leaving him distraught and removed from society. Years later, he accepts a job directing a stage play in…
