M3gan 2.0, the sequel to the original horror-comedy, transitions from domestic horror to action while maintaining its humor. Directed by Gerard Johnstone, the sequel features the return of Gemma, played by Allison Williams, who now advocates for ethical AI use. Facing a rogue robot named Amelia, Gemma is forced to collaborate with M3gan, creating a narrative filled with humor and absurdity. The film runs a lengthy two hours and takes a large leap in stakes, providing an insightful commentary on technology's impact, albeit with a convoluted storyline that may test audience engagement.
For the follow-up, writer-director Gerard Johnstone has swerved from horror to action while retaining and tweaking the comedy with a release date that's been upgraded to summer blockbuster territory.
M3gan was smarter than most, often sly and frequently funny and introducing what's now become a rarity, an almost instant non-IP pop culture icon, whose virality exploded the film into a surprise smash.
