A robot is so much like a monster that it is stitched together with bits of other movies. The horror experts Akela Cooper and James Wan wrote the script for this sci-fi movie. M3gan, or Model 3 Generative Android, is an eerily self-possessed blond girlbot, voiced by Jenna Davis, a state-of-the-art toy from the near future.
To be developed properly, M3gan needs to learn her owner's speech patterns, mannerisms and emotional needs in order to be close with her. Cady is an orphan after a car crash and comes to live with her aunt, who must honor her late parents wish that she is homeschooled. The poor little girl, devastated by her mom and dad's deaths, is an obvious candidate to be M3gan's new pal.
Their friendship transforms Cady, who is miraculously cured of grief, while M3gan's humanoid mannerisms astonish and impress David, who demands that his entire corporation get ready to mass-produced this incredible toy at $10,000 a pop. M3gan becomes like any kid entering teen years, or like any humanoid robot in a sci-fi film, just as soon as it happens. M3gan protects Cady. The neighbour's dog makes a nuisance of itself. Is that a boy that torments Cady? They have a lot of problems to contend with.
There are some satirical touches about dolls as M3gan is Derivative though it undoubtedly is. When M3gan sings Titanium to Cady as a lullaby, he can switch to snarling rage and Chieng is a good value. A film for the New Year.
