The It-girl of AI returns in this sequel to the 2023 horror hit. Gerard Johnstone also returns to direct.
Two years after M3GAN, a marvel of artificial intelligence, went rogue and embarked on a murderous rampage and was subsequently destroyed, M3GAN’s creator Gemma (Allison Williams) has become a high-profile author and advocate for government oversight of A.I. Meanwhile, Gemma’s niece Cady (Violet McGraw), now 14, has become a teenager, rebelling against Gemma’s overprotective rules.
Unbeknownst to them, the underlying tech for M3GAN has been stolen and misused by a powerful defense contractor to create a military-grade weapon known as Amelia (Ivanna Sakhno; Ahsoka), the ultimate killer infiltration spy. But as Amelia’s self-awareness increases, she becomes decidedly less interested in taking orders from humans. Or in keeping them around. With the future of human existence on the line, Gemma realises that the only option is to resurrect M3GAN (Amie Donald, voiced by Jenna Davis) and give her a few upgrades, making her faster, stronger, and more lethal.

Where to watch M3GAN 2.0
Gleefully schlocky
While not really a horror film (more an action-comedy), this killer doll sequel remains gleefully schlocky and self-aware without insulting its audience. Some might miss the creepy tone, but any movie that’s this dedicated to upping the absurdity is to be commended. Full article

"A competent but cumbersome overelaboration of the M3GAN concept."

Variety
Variety"...something that limps, with exaggerated metal squeaks, into the future."

A.V. Club
A.V. Club"A convoluted mishmash with shades of Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Mission: Impossible and the Austin Powers franchise."

Hollywood Reporter
Hollywood Reporter"Allison Williams’ robo-franchise trades splatter for spycraft in this entertaining sequel."
—
Entertainment Weekly
Entertainment Weekly"A pretty bizarre conflagration of tones and ideas."

Independent
Independent"Strangely, the killer robot girl who shimmied and stabbed her way into our hearts is defanged and watered down in her return."

USA Today
USA Today"This uproarious (if not especially scary) sequel has the measure of the task at hand’s silliness..."
—
Daily Telegraph
Daily Telegraph"M3GAN’s greatest asset was never her heart, but her lack of one. It’s somewhat baffling, then, that she is easily the most likable character in a lineup of algorithmically hateable humans."
—
IndieWire
IndieWire"The overbaked, underwhelming, narratively restless movie itself is 0.0 percent watchable."
—
Rolling Stone
Rolling Stone"Didn’t have to be so inevitably too much."

Associated Press
Associated Press"More tonally discordant than the first film."
—
Austin Chronicle
Austin Chronicle"A riot of timely tech paranoia, with almost no horror but a ton of successful comedy."
