M3GAN 2.0 (2025)

about 17 hours ago

Two years after the destruction of M3GAN, her original design is stolen and used to build a military-grade AI weapon that becomes self-aware and dangerous. To defeat her, Gemma (M3GAN’s creator) realises that she may have to rebuild a stronger, faster and more proficient M3GAN.

First of all, I am trying to write this with no form of bias at all. I loved the first part of M3GAN. She was quite lethal but I still loved her for some reason even when she turned loco. Maybe it was her dance. Anyway, this second part of this movie had double of everything. There was an attitude upgrade. M3GAN cracked me up so much with her micro-expressions and feisty side. She levelled up real fast. So much so that this movie went from horror to sci-fi/comedy.

The introduction of Amelia introduced various other facets like regulatory laws, AI friendly policies and all that stuff. It is frankly what we see with the changing world today. Amelia did not scare me. If anything she made the whole thing interesting. This movie was packed with action and I’m sorry for the horror/thriller fans expecting something of that nature.

Where do I begin with Gemma? She was annoying at some point and my goodness, I saw that twist coming. For some reason, I knew it would happen just as it did. You know, I think I’m now accustomed to so many movies like this that I can see the end from the beginning or at least part of it.

Cady didn’t have much scenes in this one. Every scene she had was focused on her Gemma controlled life and possible past traumas - courtesy of M3GAN. Still, I liked her. Although like every character that thinks they have it under control, she messed up.

What I enjoyed so much about this movie was the action scenes and impromptu scenes – like M3GAN being reduced to a toy sized bot (I loved that part) or where she was dancing. Then the soundtracks were just right. I can’t tell what about them but they did the right job immersing me. That followed by the cinematography. The proper use and balance of lights and colors.

This movie is two hours long and while I don’t like movies that long, I enjoyed this one. It’s a 9/10 for me. While the storyline might have some loopholes, it was visually appealing. I was sold. Yes, I ended up being biased. Sue me!
