#Megan2Point0 feels like a proper sequel.
The first #movie was like a Terminator from TEMU.

This new one has now a compelling story and a better budget (the first one gave me some indie vibes).

Please watch it, it’s completely worth it!

Considering how many surgical screw-ups there are, I'd think it's probably time to stop using "surgical" to describe precision. #FrightClub #M3GAN2

I really enjoyed M3GAN. A grounded and expertly eerie thriller that used its scifi premise rather than getting lost in it.

I'm half way through M3GAN 2.0, and I'm a bit disappointed. The plot leans heavily into magical AI tropes, and action movie cliches, and the half-time exposition dump took me right out of the story. Particularly because of the 'motherboard locked in a box gets smarter over time' nonsense.

If I saw it at the cinema, I'd be tempted to walk.

The film demonstrates that within capitalism’s cultural logic, even artificial intelligence cannot imagine alternatives to the system that created it #M3GAN2 https://boxd.it/bBuykb
A ★★½ review of M3GAN 2.0 (2025)

Digimortal  Gerard Johnstone’s „M3GAN 2.0“ represents a peculiar artifact of contemporary genre cinema: a sequel that attempts to rehabilitate its titular AI antagonist while simultaneously reinforcing the very capitalist logics that structured the original film’s horror. The narrative premise—Gemma (Allison Williams) resurrecting M3GAN to combat AMELIA, a militarized android built from stolen M3GAN technology. M3GAN’s transformation from murderous doll to “begrudging heroine” functions not as genuine character development but as capitalist recuperation: the dangerous commodity is rebranded, its exchange-value preserved through strategic repositioning. The film literalizes this when M3GAN “barters like a sentient being,” offering her services in exchange for
