There's lots of positive notes here, I think. The movie struck a chord, culturally and a sequel must have been green lit after a week in theaters. And maybe sequels will be a good thing, because none of the very interesting ramifications of creating a sentient AI being are addressed or discussed in this one. Maybe that can be explored in M3gan 8 - Clone of M3gan.
It was really hard to get into it not fully understanding how a computer program decided to turn evil, for no discernible reason. We get why Chucky is bad - he's possessed by an evil serial killer. If an AI robot becomes evil, do we hate it, or its program, or its programmers?
Also, why does M3gan have about an much power as Thanos with the infinity gauntlet? She's able to control the internet, cars, and probably submarines off the coast of Turkey if she wanted to.
Worse yet, why doesn't anything interesting happen in this damn movie??? 5 stars for how good it all looks onscreen and for the premise.
Many oinks, few meows. Rawr.
