Reviews
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.
