I caught M3GAN last night, and greatly enjoyed it. I'm looking forward to the unrated version, just on general principles, but it was highly entertaining.
I'm always fascinated and intrigued by AI, so I was already primed for this one. Even though I knew exactly where it was going, it was worth the ride through the Uncanny Valley.
It's doing well enough that I'm sure there'll be a sequel, and they've really already got a setup for that scenario, but I almost hope they don't do it, because it'll be even campier than this one, and I worry that the drive to profit from a winner will spoil future efforts. But M3gan was a great character, very wonderfully realized.
Plotwise, I feel like there could have been a bit of bolt-tightening here and there, but overall, good fun and it made me laugh.
