‘M3GAN 2.0' movie review: The killer doll is back to slay it slowly
M3GAN, about a killer robot doll who believes it is only doing what it is programmed to, enlivened January 2023 with buckets of gore and grins. The sequel, M3GAN 2.0, switches the programming from straight-up slasher to a mix of Terminator and Mission: Impossible, to create a film that moves as jerkily as its protagonist, with markedly fewer laughs. Director Gerard Johnstone and writer Akela Cooper return, as do horror specialist James Wan for producer duties. Returning cast includes Allison Williams, Violet McGraw, Amie Donald, Jenna Davis, Brian Jordan Alvarez and Jen Van Epps. Two years after the events of the previous film, Gemma (Williams), the roboticist who created M3GAN, is now a writer and advocate for the ethical use of AI. Christian (Aristotle Athari), Gemma's boyfriend, seems to be on board with her AI-with-responsibility principles. Her niece, Cady (McGraw), who came to stay with Gemma after the death of her parents, is equally interested in science and soccer and has a secret robotics project hidden under a photo frame of her parents. M3GAN 2.0 (English) Director: Gerard Johnstone Starring: Allison Williams, Violet McGraw, Ivanna Sakhno, Jemaine Clement Storyline: The killer robot is brought back from storage to fight another psychopath robot with dreams of world domination Runtime: 120 minutes After the M3GAN debacle, Gemma is working with Cole (Alvarez) and Tess (Epps) to create labour-saving devices to keep the company afloat. When an Autonomous Military Engagement Logistics and Infiltration Android, AMELIA (Ivanna Sakhno), goes rogue and kills the scientist it was meant to rescue and steals the neurotoxin he was developing, Army colonel Tim Sattler (Timm Sharp) seeks Gemma's help. After a sticky start, where Cady attacks the military and FBI agents who come to their house in Home-Alone style, Gemma reluctantly agrees to get M3GAN (Donald, voiced by Davis) up and running. Since she does not fully trust M3GAN, she puts the robot's operating software in a plastic Teletubby body with the promise of giving her a body upon good behaviour. ALSO READ:Claudia Doumit to join 'M3GAN' spin-off 'Soulm8te' After breaking into wicked tech bro Alton Appleton's (Jemaine Clement) party, where AMELIA is already up to its dirty tricks, the stakes are raised as AMELIA is set to lay waste to the Earth in an effort to get back to its family—a self aware system from the '80s. The time has come to rebuild M3GAN with a 'few' enhancements. M3GAN 2.0 would have benefitted if it had been 30 minutes shorter. There are call backs to Terminator and Mission: Impossible from the use of air conditioning vents as a mode of ingress to a secure space and high altitude jumps to good versus bad terminators. The crazy spider walk is there briefly and M3GAN's sarcastic comments are chuckle inducing. As it is, M3GAN 2.0 just about manages to keep one's interest. M3GAN 2.0 is currently running in theatres

Arnold Schwarzenegger Surprises Fans By Naming the Worst 'Terminator' Movie
Arnold Schwarzenegger Surprises Fans By Naming the Worst 'Terminator' Movie originally appeared on Parade. As with any mainstream action franchise, the Terminator series is comprised of an odd mix between groundbreaking sci-fi films and egregiously bland schlockfests. Though often recognized as one of the most revolutionary big-budget franchises in cinematic history, the once popular Terminator series has long since fallen on hard times, thanks in large part to lesser and lesser sequels following the critical heights of Terminator 2: Judgment Day. As further evidence of Terminator's more recent middling quality, the iconic lead actor of the franchise, Arnold Schwarzenegger, has similarly weighed in on the series' dramatic fall from grace. Appearing on a recent installment of Watch What Happens Live, the iconic 77-year-old actor was asked which Terminator film he feels is the weakest in the franchise. Instead of offering a diplomatic answer or shying away from the question, the Conan the Barbarian star offered a fairly blunt response to the query. "I would say the worst was probably the number four [Terminator Salvation], because that was done during the time I was governor [of California] and I was not in it," the Twins actor said. "How do you do a Terminator movie without me being in the Terminator movie?" Schwarzenegger continued. "It doesn't make any sense." Released in 2009, Terminator Salavation jumped ahead in the series' narrative timeline, focusing on the post-apocalyptic between John Connor's (Christian Bale) human Resistance and the cybernetic armies of SkyNet. Starring Bale, Sam Worthington, Anton Yelchin and Bryce Dallas Howard, the film earned mostly mixed to negative reviews, halting any plans for an immediate sequel. Ultimately, following Schwarzenegger's tenure as California's governor and his formal return to acting, the series continued with 2015's next installment, Terminator Genisys, which marked the actor's first time portraying his infamous T-800 since 2003's Terminator: Rise of the Machines. The film, like its later retconned sequel Terminator: Dark Fate, both earned similarly mixed reviews upon its release. Arnold Schwarzenegger Surprises Fans By Naming the Worst 'Terminator' Movie first appeared on Parade on Jun 26, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jun 26, 2025, where it first appeared.

Film review: The F1 movie is a fine vehicle for summer popcorn cinema
For a mega-budget summer blockbuster, F1: The Movie (PG) opens with a surprisingly modest ambition: Formula One team boss Ruben (Javier Bardem) wants his old pal Sonny (Brad Pitt) to come out of semi-retirement to help the struggling APX team win just one race. In fact, Ruben would be delighted with a podium place; and if the veteran maverick Sonny can mentor APX's promising driver Joshua (Damson Idris) along the way, helping the young tyro to channel his raw talent into a more mature, team-oriented approach, Ruben will let Sonny write his own cheque. There's only two problems. One, Sonny isn't in it for the money; two, Sonny's a throwback who can't be doing with all the fuss – rules, especially – that goes with competing in Formula One these days. Given the basic set-up, it's no surprise to learn that the writers – Ehren Kreuger and Joseph Kosinski, with Kosinski directing – recently combined on Top Gun: Maverick, but F1 has a charm of its own, much of it derived from Kerry Condon, who plays Kate, the no-nonsense APX technical director who takes it upon herself to puncture Sonny's ego at every opportunity, and in an accent that unapologetically strips the paint from the walls. In fact, most of the main characters are pretty likeable here: Javier Barden is artfully flighty as the smooth-talking Ruben, Damson Idris holds his own as the fearless but impetuous Joshua, and Brad Pitt is charmingly self-deprecating as the world-weary knight-errant Sonny, who is just about holding it all together for one last tilt at glory. The driving sequences are expertly done (the camerawork from inside the cars is either thrilling or terrifying, depending on how you feel about piloting rockets travelling at 350 km/h), and the fact that the movie is made in association with the FIA gives it verisimilitude – Sonny and Joshua are racing against Ferrari and Red Bull, Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen. Is it plausible? Not really. Is it the best popcorn-friendly cinema of the summer so far? Most definitely. M3gan 2.0 M3gan 2.0 ★★★☆☆ Theatrical release The killer doll from M3gan (2022) returns in M3gan 2.0 (15A), although the stakes are considerably higher this time around: M3gan's basic programming has been enhanced to the point where she is now a top secret military asset, aka Amelia (Ivanna Sakhno), an unkillable AI uber-weapon that immediately goes rogue and begins hunting down her creators as a precursor to annihilating the entire human race. Standing in Amelia's way are M3gan's creator Gemma (Allison Williams), Gemma's 12-year-old niece Cady (Violet McGraw), and the original M3gan (Amie McDonald), who is really, really sorry she tried to kill off Gemma the last time out. Written by Akela Cooper and Gerard Johnstone, with Johnstone directing, M3gan 2.0 is a sci-fi horror that leans into worst-case scenarios surrounding AI, piling on the absurdities and borrowing heavily from the Terminator movies (Amelia is basically the Terminator decked out like Veronica Lake). It's all very silly, of course, but it's also enjoyably mindless fun. The Road to Patagonia The Road to Patagonia ★★★★☆ Theatrical release The Road to Patagonia (PG) is a documentary by Australian ecologist, surfer and filmmaker Matty Hannon, who set out to motorcycle from the northern tip of Alaska all the way to South America's southernmost cape. Along the way he meets the Canadian urban farmer Heather, swaps their motorcycles for horses, and embraces a variety of 'nature-based cultures' that the couple encounter on their epic trek. There's an seductive naivety to the central theme of rejecting neo-capitalism's evils in favour of a slower life more in tune with natural rhythms, one that calls to mind the work of Robert Pirsig or Robert Macfarlane as Matty and Heather traverse mountains, deserts, jungles and shorelines on their rollercoaster trip toward enlightenment. The scenery is fabulous and the couple are good company on an feelgood odyssey that is as gritty as it is idyllic. (theatrical release)

Terminator: Dark Fate was ‘kind of underwritten', Linda Hamilton says
Linda Hamilton has admitted Terminator: Dark Fate was 'kind of underwritten'. The 68-year-old actress reprised her role as Sarah Connor in the controversial 2019 action blockbuster, though has now conceded director Tim Miller could have used a little longer to bring out the 'humanity' of the story. Speaking with she said: 'There were some really significant, maybe … emotional moments in the last one that I wish we had lingered over a little bit more. 'It was kind of underwritten, and I think Tim didn't feel that some of it was structured properly … I just wish it had slowed down a tiny bit and presented our fans with just a few more moments of humanity.' Reflecting on Sarah Connor and the impact she has had on pop culture, Hamilton admitted she was 'surprised' by the number of people who were inspired by the action heroine, and described the character as a 'woman in hell'. She mused: 'Well, I've always been surprised at the numbers that want to be like Sarah Connor. She physique as well as the physicality - but she's a very, very unhappy woman, right? 'I mean, she's struggling with so much unknown, and it's just like, 'No, you don't want to be like Sarah Connor. She's a woman in hell.' 'So that has always fascinated me, the way that people want to emulate her. But she's just a woman living in hell.' In Terminator: Dark Fate - which also stars Arnold Schwarzenegger, Mackenzie Davis and Edward Furlong - a new advanced Terminator is sent to kill a young woman whose fate is key to humanity's future. To protect her, Sarah Connor and a cybernetically enhanced soldier join forces in a fight for survival. Following Terminator: Dark Fate - which was the first time Hamilton had played Sarah Connor since 1991's Terminator 2: Judgement Day - the actress insisted she was done with the franchise and didn't want to return as the action heroine again. When asked about her Terminator future by Business Insider, she said: 'I'm done. I'm done. I have nothing more to say. The story's been told, and it's been done to death.' Director and producer James Cameron previously revealed that he was 'in discussion' for a Terminator reboot, but Hamilton sees little point in reviving the series once again. She said: 'Why anybody would relaunch it is a mystery to me. But I know our Hollywood world is built on relaunches right now.' The Terminator himself Arnold Schwarzenegger also said he was 'done' with the series following Terminator: Dark Fate. He told The Hollywood Reporter: 'The franchise is not done. I'm done. I got the message loud and clear that the world wants to move on with a different theme when it comes to The Terminator. 'Someone has to come up with a great idea. The Terminator was largely responsible for my success, so I always would look at it very fondly. 'The first three movies were great. Number four [Salvation], I was not in because I was governor. Then five [Genisys] and six [Dark Fate] didn't close the deal as far as I'm concerned. We knew that ahead of time because they were just not well written.'
