Netflix most expensive film but fans all have one huge complaint
The Electric State, starring Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt, is Netflix's most expensive movie to date - but it has been savaged by critics, who branded it 'dull as dirt' With a reported budget of $320 million, an all-star cast, and a mere 14 per cent approval rating from critics, perhaps that's all you need to know about Netflix's latest spectacle (or should we say disaster?), The Electric State. The film boasts a stellar cast including Millie Bobby Brown, Chris Pratt, Ke Huy Quan, Stanley Tucci, Woody Harrelson, Jenny Slate, Giancarlo Esposito, Jason Alexander, Brian Cox, and Anthony Mackie, who all bring their talents to a mix of live-action and voiceover roles in this 2025 sci-fi flick. Directed and produced by the Russo brothers, Anthony and Joe Russo, the screenplay is loosely based on Simon Stålenhag's eponymous 2018 illustrated novel, adapted for the screen by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely. Released on Netflix on March 14 this year, The Electric State is without a doubt the streaming giant's most expensive film to date, with a staggering $300 million plus price tag resting on its action-packed shoulders. The film paints a picture of an alternate 1990 where a war between robots and humans has left the world in chaos, reports Surrey Live. Despite the criticism, The Electric State managed to rack up 25.2 million views within the first three days of its release. It even inspired a video game, The Electric State: Kid Cosmo, released by Netflix Games for iOS and Android just four days after the film's debut on the platform. However, none of this could shield The Electric State from the harsh reviews it received from critics. One critic didn't hold back, saying: "It looks phenomenal - the quality of the special effects is exceptional. But this is soulless, emotionally inert storytelling." Another reviewer was less than impressed, writing: "The plot is a watered-down grab-bag of old, tired ideas." A different take by a reviewer labelled the movie as "The movie is obvious, garish and just plain dumb", while yet another branded it "dull as dirt". Meanwhile, The Electric State was criticised for having "no soul, no originality, just a great big multicolour wedge of digital content". However, cinema-goers seemed to have enjoyed the spectacle much more, with one fan saying: "This movie is absolutely fire. What were the critics thinking when they made a review. This movie is always action-packed, has a beaming audience and has a good mix of action, horror and humour. Definitely worth a watch!". Adding to the positive vibes, another viewer highlighted their enjoyment saying: "I really enjoyed this movie. It was fun, light, creative, and had a non-formulaic plot. No, this is not a critics darling or a Cannes contender, but I would watch it again. What a fun cast! I wish Hollywood took more risks like this." Disagreeing with the harsh professional opinions, one individual recommended the film as a "fun watch" and stood puzzled over the critical bashing, suggesting The Electric State was "better than so many garbage movies". Millie Bobby Brown gushed about working with Chris Pratt, telling Extra: "I actually met him at an awards show many, many, many years ago. And I remember freaking out and going, 'Oh, my God! That's Chris Pratt!' To be able to - years, years, years forward - to work alongside him is a dream come true."

Hawkins is scarred by the opening of the Rifts, and our heroes are united by a single goal: find and kill Vecna. But he has vanished—his whereabouts and plans unknown. "Complicating their mission, the government has placed the town under military quarantine and intensified its hunt for Eleven, forcing her back into hiding. As the anniversary of Will's disappearance approaches, so does a heavy, familiar dread. "The final battle is looming—and with it, a darkness more powerful and more deadly than anything they've faced before. To end this nightmare, they'll need everyone—the full party—standing together, one last time." Netflix released an announcement video for the final season, though it mostly contained footage from previous seasons. There were some clips of the cast in action for Season 5, including Joyce with an ax and Hopper holding Eleven while her nose bleeds.

CEO pay rose nearly 10% in 2024 as stock prices and profits soared
Ted Sarandos arrives at the premiere of "The Electric State" on Monday, Feb. 24, 2025, at The Egyptian Theatre in Los Angeles. (Photo by Jordan Strauss/Invision/AP, File) The typical compensation package for chief executives who run companies in the S&P 500 jumped nearly 10 per cent in 2024 as the stock market enjoyed another banner year and corporate profits rose sharply. Many companies have heeded calls from shareholders to tie CEO compensation more closely to performance. As a result, a large proportion of pay packages consist of stock awards, which the CEO often can't cash in for years, if at all, unless the company meets certain targets, typically a higher stock price or market value or improved operating profits. The Associated Press' CEO compensation survey, which uses data analyzed for The AP by Equilar, included pay data for 344 executives at S&P 500 companies who have served at least two full consecutive fiscal years at their companies, which filed proxy statements between Jan. 1 and April 30. Here are the key takeaways from the survey: A good year at the top The median pay package for CEOs rose to $17.1 million, up 9.7 per cent. Meanwhile, the median employee at companies in the survey earned $85,419, reflecting a 1.7 per cent increase year over year. CEOs had to navigate sticky inflation and relatively high interest rates last year, as well as declining consumer confidence. But the economy also provided some tail winds: Consumers kept spending despite their misgivings about the economy; inflation did subside somewhat; the Fed lowered interest rates; and the job market stayed strong. The stock market's main benchmark, the S&P 500, rose more than 23 per cent last year. Profits for companies in the index rose more than 9 per cent. '2024 was expected to be a strong year, so the (nearly) 10% increases are commensurate with the timing of the pay decisions,' said Dan Laddin, a partner at Compensation Advisory Partners. Sarah Anderson, who directs the Global Economy Project at the progressive Institute for Policy Studies, said there have been some recent 'long-overdue' increases in worker pay, especially for those at the bottom of the wage scale. But she said too many workers in the world's richest countries still struggle to pay their bills. The top earners Rick Smith, the founder and CEO of Axon Enterprises, topped the survey with a pay package valued at $164.5 million. Axon, which makes Taser stun guns and body cameras, saw revenue grow more than 30 per cent for three straight years and posted record annual net income of $377 million in 2024. Axon's shares more than doubled last year after rising more than 50 per cent in 2023. Almost all of Smith's pay package consists of stock awards, which he can only receive if the company meets targets tied to its stock price and operations for the period from 2024 to 2030. Companies are required to assign a value to the stock awards when they are granted. Other top earners in the survey include Lawrence Culp, CEO of what is now GE Aerospac e ($87.4 million), Tim Cook at Apple ($74.6 million), David Gitlin at Carrier Global ($65.6 million) and Ted Sarandos at Netflix ($61.9 million). The bulk of those pay packages consisted of stock or options awards. The median stock award rose almost 15 per cent last year compared to a 4 per cent increase in base salaries, according to Equilar. 'For CEOs, target long-term incentives consistently increase more each year than salaries or bonuses,' said Melissa Burek, also a partner at Compensation Advisory Partners. 'Given the significant role that long-term incentives play in executive pay, this trend makes sense.' Jackie Cook at Morningstar Sustainalytics said the benefit of tying CEO pay to performance is 'that share-based pay appears to provide a clear market signal that most shareholders care about.' But she notes that the greater use of share-based pay has led to a 'phenomenal rise' in CEO compensation 'tracking recent years' market performance,' which has 'widened the pay gap within workplaces.' Some well-known billionaire CEOs are low in the AP survey. Warren Buffett's compensation was valued at $405,000, about five times what a worker at Berkshire Hathaway makes. According to Tesla's proxy, Elon Musk received no compensation for 2024, but in 2018 he was awarded a multiyear package that has been valued at $56 billion and is the subject of a court battle. Other notable CEOs didn't meet the criteria for inclusion the survey. Starbucks' Brian Niccol received a pay package valued at $95.8 million, but he only took over as CEO on Sept. 9. Nvidia's Jensen Huang saw his compensation grow to $49.9 million, but the company filed its proxy after April 30. The pay gap At half the companies in AP's annual pay survey, it would take the worker at the middle of the company's pay scale 192 years to make what the CEO did in one. Companies have been required to disclose this so-called pay ratio since 2018. The pay ratio tends to be highest at companies in industries where wages are typically low. For instance, at cruise line company Carnival Corp., its CEO earned nearly 1,300 times the median pay of $16,900 for its workers. McDonald's CEO makes about 1,000 times what a worker making the company's median pay does. Both companies have operations that span numerous countries. Overall, wages and benefits netted by private-sector workers in the U.S. rose 3.6% through 2024, according to the Labor Department. The average worker in the U.S. makes $65,460 a year. That figure rises to $92,000 when benefits such as health care and other insurance are included. 'With CEO pay continuing to climb, we still have an enormous problem with excessive pay gaps,' Anderson said. 'These huge disparities are not only unfair to lower-level workers who are making significant contributions to company value – they also undercut enterprise effectiveness by lowering employee morale and boosting turnover rates.' Some gains for female CEOs For the 27 women who made the AP survey — the highest number dating back to 2014 — median pay rose 10.7 per cent to $20 million. That compares to a 9.7 pre cent increase to $16.8 million for their male counterparts. The highest earner among female CEOs was Judith Marks of Otis Worldwide, with a pay package valued at $42.1 million. The company, known for its elevators and escalators, has had operating profit above $2 billion for four straight years. About $35 million of Marks' compensations was in the form of stock awards. Other top earners among female CEOs were Jane Fraser of Citigroup ($31.1 million), Lisa Su of Advanced Micro Devices ($31 million), Mary Barra at General Motors ($29.5 million) and Laura Alber at Williams-Sonoma ($27.7 million). Christy Glass, a professor of sociology at Utah State University who studies equity, inclusion and leadership, said while there may be a few more women on the top paid CEO list, overall equity trends are stagnating, particularly as companies cut back on DEI programs. 'There are maybe a couple more names on the list, but we're really not moving the needle significantly,' she said. Prioritizing security Equilar found that a larger number of companies are offering security perquisites as part of executive compensation packages, possibly in reaction to the December shooting of UnitedHealthCare CEO Brian Thompson. Equilar said an analysis of 208 companies in the S&P 500 that filed proxy statements by April 2 showed that the median spending on security rose to $94,276 last year from $69,180 in 2023. Among the companies that increased their security perks were Centene, which provides health care services to Medicare and Medicaid, and the chipmaker Intel. __ Reporters Matt Ott and Chris Rugaber in Washington contributed.

From red carpets to holiday snaps, the A-listers are taking a sustainable approach to fashion by digging out looks worn by other celebs decades previously. 9 Claudia showing off the OG bejewelled high leg bikini on the catwalk in 1995 Credit: Getty Just last week Kylie Jenner wore a red crystal bikini reportedly costing $10,000 from Chanel that was originally worn by Claudia Schiffer in the 90s on the runway. And at the Golden Globes fans were left stunned as she channelled Elizabeth Hurley in a 1999 Versace chainmail dress. Plus 90s icon Pamela Anderson has lent Millie Bobby Brown clothes from her own wardrobe, from decades gone by this year for her film tour of The Electric State, after Millie wanted to embrace 90s fashion for the promo tour. Deputy Fashion Editor Abby McHale takes a look at how 90s twinning is the latest trend that these stars can't get enough of. Kylie Jenner twinning Claudia Schiffer 9 Kylie Jenner doing Claudia earlier this month Kylie loves a 90s throwback, having worn multiple 90s archive dresses to award ceremonies this year such as the Golden Globes and the BAFTA's, she's taken her love for archival fashion one step further this month - by wearing it to the beach.

Sabrina Carpenter channels Madonna as she wears her vintage dress at MTV VMAs as fans praise the 'iconic' moment That dress alone catapulted her into stardom and is still one of the most iconic dresses of the 90s. So it's no surprise that celebrities would want to copy the look and whilst many have come close to wearing similar styles, Love Island presenter Maya was lucky enough to wear the dress for the MTV EMA's in November last year. And didn't she look sensational in it. Sabrina Carpenter shining bright like 90s Madonna 9 Sabrina in 2024 - Madonna in 1991 If you want to make a statement on the red carpet then why not look to one of the most famous women of the 90s and recreate one of her most glamorous looks. And that's exactly what Sabrina Carpenter did for the 2024 MTV VMA Awards. The 26-year-old wore a Bob Mackie gown from 1991 that was first designed and worn by Madonna for the Oscars. And the dress has even more of a historical past, with the design being inspired by Marilyn Monroe in the 1953 film Gentleman Prefer Blondes. Talk about an iconic history. The sparkly strapless gown screams Hollywood glamour and shows that that style really does stand the test of time. Millie Bobby Brown mirroring Gwyneth Paltrow 9 Millie in 2025 - Gwyneth in 1998 Millie Bobby Brown's latest film The Electric State is set in the 90s and the 21-year-old said for the promo tour she wanted to embrace the decade's fashion.

But she's seen here at the Madrid premier for the film wearing a sheer Armani dress first worn by Gwyneth Paltrow in 1998. Gwyneth wore the dress for the premier of Shakespeare in Love that went on to win her an Academy Award. Maybe Millie is hoping the dress will bring her the same accolades. Jenna Ortega getting a Sarah Jessica Parker SATC look 9 Jenna in 2025 - Sarah in 1999 Sex In The City was the TV show for fashion inspo in the 90s and Sarah Jessica Parkers character Carrie Bradshaw had a wardrobe many would be envious of. One of her most famous looks was a newspaper dress from Christian Dior worn in the third season of the show. Most recently Jenna Ortega stepped out for the premier of the Hurry Up Tomorrow premier wearing the same look. The Gen Z generation do love throwback fashion, after missing it the first time around so it's no surprise people went wild for the 22-year-old's look. With SJP even saying in an interview that I'm sure she looked great in it. Lupita Nyong'o going for Linda Evangalista catwalk style 9 Lupita in 2025 - Linda in 1991 Award ceremonies are the perfect time for celebrities to do something creative and glamorous with their look, which is what Lupita Nyong'o did at this years Oscars.

All the naff 90s clothing Gen Z thinks is trendy Millennials survived Robbie Williams leaving Take That, the Y2K bug . . . and low-slung waists.

Fabulous' Fashion Editor, Clemmie Fieldsend, shares the 90s fashion trends she thinks are "naff" but Gen Z think are "cool".

And now they're back on Emily Ratajkowski and Alexa Chung, and being sold on the high street. Fuddy Fleeces The naffest of all the Nineties fash deemed acceptable right now has to be the fleece – you probably had a knock-off Berghaus one back in the day. In October, customers went wild for F&F at Tesco's North Face dupe, which cost £37 (£283 less than the £320 original) and got seven million TikTok views. Cropper Coat The slightly padded waterproof coat is a hit with celebs at the moment. As far as I can see, this coat is inspired by one of TV's most unlikely fashion muses, Coronation Street character Roy Cropper, who has worn it for the past 30 years on the cobbles. But brands such as Prada and Bottega have seemingly been inspired by Roy's beige jacket."
