Summary
Cady faces an accident while skiing with her parents in which her parents die. An alone Cady is sent to her aunt who is into making robotic toys. Cady’s aunt Gemma is on the verge of creating a pathbreaking robotic marvel called M3GAN, a doll that can be an ultimate companion for kids. Gemma senses that Cady is feeling lonely and lets M3GAN pair with Cady, making her its primary controller.
M3GAN learns on a daily basis by interacting with Cady and developing itself. At one point, M3GAN starts caring for Cady so much that it starts eliminating all her possible threats by going on a killing spree and taking control of itself.
Review
MEGAN, as a concept had a very high potential to be a very good horror flick but unfortunately turned out to be a lousy watch. Technically M3GAN was acceptable. But when it comes to horrors, jumpscare, or gore, there were literally very few which could come even close to them.
M3GAN has a, thankfully, short run time. Else it would have been an unbearable watch with not many exciting incidents onscreen. At one point, it feels like the story is going somewhere exciting but ends up circling at the same place, stuck at the same point.
Performance-wise, everyone did justice to their character but couldn’t level the game up in a snooze fest.
Conclusion
M3GAN is a horror movie, in which the element of horror is absent.
