‘M3gan 2.0' Review: Another Bot Walks, Talks, and Wants World Domination
Sure, 'M3gan,' the robot who looks like a homicidal Olsen sister, murdered some people in the 2023 comedy-horror film, but she had her reasons. 'I was upset!' she, or rather her disembodied operating system, cries in the sequel. She explains that she was just a kid back then, and is completely trustworthy now. Please, could someone load her software into another robo-body? Please? Pleeease? In 'M3gan 2.0,' her wary inventor, Gemma (Allison Williams), doesn't quite believe her but also doesn't have much choice. A successor bot, Amelia (Ivanna Sakhno), which unlike the previous figure looks exactly like a human, is not only a military-grade fighter but has also managed to use her seductive wiles to hack into the systems overseen by a billionaire tech lord (Jemaine Clement). Using cloud computing, Amelia can essentially control everything on the grid, from traffic lights to ATMs. In a 'Terminator 2' twist, then, the impish M3gan (acted by Amie Donald, with a voice by Jenna Davis) switches sides and joins the ranks of the good guys in an effort to stop a more technologically advanced rival. At least, that's what the movie's heroes hope: M3gan can be a bit fickle.
