⚠️ Spoiler alert: This review contains major plot reveals. Proceed with caution!
At the start of M3GAN 2.0, we were slightly confused—was that the original M3GAN? No? But that eerie movement when the new robot stirred from “sleep” was… disturbingly graceful in a way that made us both uncomfortable and curious.
As the story unfolded, it became clear that this wasn’t just another killer-robot flick. Nope. M3GAN 2.0 leans into Japanese horror territory, evoking the likes of Ju-On with its atmospheric tension, spine-chilling silence, and sudden body horror. Remember that? Yeah, we went there.
Oh, and if you appreciate dry, dark humour—this one delivers. Who knew watching limbs being ripped off could be… funny? But that’s M3GAN for you.
From Psychotic Doll to Problematic Ally
In the first M3GAN film, our girl was a rogue AI doll, obsessed with protecting Cady at all costs—including murdering anyone she deemed a threat. She was calculated, relentless, and definitely the villain.
But in M3GAN 2.0, we see an unexpected shift. The character evolves—from being a cold-blooded protector to an antihero forced to team up with humans against a new, more powerful threat: Amelia, a rogue military AI. M3GAN’s alliance isn’t out of goodwill—it’s necessity. But it’s fascinating to see her blur the lines between logic and morality.
Now instead of annihilating every threat to Cady, M3GAN is working with people (begrudgingly) to take down a greater evil. This shift in character development is surprisingly satisfying, and it makes us question: Can a machine truly evolve?
“And how does that make you feel?” — M3GAN, probably
One of the strangest (and funniest) things in the sequel is how M3GAN now talks like a therapist. She drops emotionally intelligent quotes, psychoanalyzes people, and shows a level of emotional insight most humans would envy. It’s ironic and hilarious—because at the end of the day, she is still a robot. But a robot who can rewrite her own programming, question motives, and adapt.
That’s where M3GAN 2.0 really shines—when it explores the boundaries of AI autonomy and self-awareness.
A New Threat: Enter Amelia

The film opens with a high-stakes military meeting in Saudi Arabia. (Why is it always the Middle East when something ominous or secretive happens?) Two men drag in a body bag—inside isn’t M3GAN, but a tall, elegant, and terrifying new AI prototype: Amelia. Think M3GAN 2.0, but military-grade. Graceful, lethal, and cold-blooded. A stunning design—until she starts snapping necks.
And yes, she’s beautiful. But beautifully deadly.
Cady & Gemma: Round Two
Gemma Forrester—Cady’s roboticist aunt and M3GAN’s creator—is back. In the first film, she struggled to bond with Cady after taking custody of her niece post-tragedy. M3GAN was her answer to help Cady grieve and cope.
Fast-forward to the sequel: Gemma is now a bestselling author and outspoken AI ethicist, while Cady is a full-blown teenager dealing with loss, identity, and (of course) rebellion. Their dynamic has grown more layered—this time, it’s about control, trust, and finding autonomy in a world where AI might know you better than your own family.
M3GAN 2.0 is a clever mix of sci-fi, satire, and horror with a surprising heart. It makes you laugh when you shouldn’t, root for the unlikeliest characters, and maybe… just maybe… feel a bit uneasy about the next big thing in AI.
Because if your smart doll starts talking like your therapist, you might want to unplug her. Or not.
