Is it really only two years since we first met M3GAN? Shouldn’t she have an ‘h’ in her name? Maybe I’m thinking of another robotic and plastic manifestation of womanhood? Anyway, this sees “Gemma” (Allison Williams) and her pals caught up with investment problems whilst Uncle Sam’s latest AI specimen “Amelia” (Ivanna Sakhno) goes off the rails. Pretty swiftly, thanks to the intervention of the newly mobile tech gazillionaire “Alt” (Jermaine Clement), she finds herself working on something she’d vowed never to touch again, else niece “Cady” (Violet McGraw) is gonna be toast. Luckily, she can count on the help of the benevolent “Christian” (Aristotle Athari) and a supply of kit that could build a space shuttle from scratch. Of course we, watching, all know this is bound to be but a cunning ploy by the demonic robot to reincarnate and cause havoc, and so down the predictably latex brick road we go. Now it’s not actually that much worse than the first film. There are some pithy lines contained amidst the endless dialogue and there are even a few laughs to be had as the acrobatics see furniture trashed and limbs torn asunder with the reliability of a “John Wick” film. The acting is all pretty feeble but I did quite enjoy the messy savagery of the denouement even if it is very nearly smothered in a syrupy gloop of disappointing sentiment and by the time it was all over, I was surprised that I didn’t hate it. I want one of those tellytubby robots to go with my remote-controlled Dalek, too.
This is Megan 2.0 not Gemma Whines Too Much.0. Funny bits. Fun action. Interesting genre film for teen girls whose parents don't care what they watch. Stakes are not stakes because Megan is all powerful when we meet her. Then she's confined to a body, using a computer. Can she not just copy her conscience into a million robots like the teletubby? Directly interface with the internet not swipe, pinch, type? Why doesn't other Megan have a million robot clones all at once? How many backups are there? I didn't bother to follow the story. It's something I'd rather read as a summary and I may never do so. I loved it at 60%. Was done. Still watched the rest the next day but was a long and torturous 40.
$25 million dollar budget for this is extreme. I enjoyed the first Megan, but I don't think this second one was necessary. It felt repetitive and gimmicky. I do love all the actors though and think I'd love to see them in more traditional horror.
This film is incredibly exciting, I really can't wait to see where the story goes. 1 AI is out to control and out destroy our control over is anybodys guess. The original is out to catch and destroy her in order to get a 2nd chance at ??? I can't wait to see if I can feel my way through this one. It's not very often for a movie to have me giddy and giggling, but the excitement of the meeting of these 2 battle ready droids has me on the edge of my seat. What a fun ride this is just passing the halfway mark. Be ready for either M3GAN Impossible or Mission M3GAN, lol... Oh, the deception is neverending and maniacal. To NOT like this film means people have forgotten why we watch movies in the first place.
You kind of know this was written my Millennials because it's nothing but a collection of scenes and the obligatory random dance number... what is the Millennial obsession with dance numbers and proms? There is no prom in this, which is actually sort of shocking. There is also no horror. No real thrills Not much in the way of plot. We saw it all before as a matter of fact. It's an action movie that really fun or entertaining. It just sort of it and that's all it is.
