M3GAN

M3GAN: Directed by Gerard Johnstone. With Allison Williams, Violet McGraw, Ronny Chieng, Amie Donald. A robotics engineer at a toy company builds a life-like doll that begins to take on a life of its own.

A well done walk on the razor thin margin between goofy horror and humorous horror, a strong first outing for a new franchise that I’m 100% certain we’ll plenty of in the next 20 years. There’s a bit of hand waving when it comes to the technology here, so if you’re a singularity / ‘machines rise up” story fan, you’re going to want to just turn off the questions that I’m sure you’ll have. Questions like, how is she controlling other tech? How does she fit all those computer parts in her small frame? Is she actually on a server somewhere and the body is just a puppet? Why is that body so light at times, but able to be so strong at others? Why would they make a toy that could kill someone with it’s bare hands?

Actually that’s last one is a misdirection, because part of the moral of this story is that when people “move fast and break stuff” to be the first to market, sometimes you overlook things like parental controls or how your robot is so over engineered that it can kill on a whim. Regardless of my complaints I still had a good time with the movie and truly do look forward to future entries into the franchise.

    The sequel was already greenlight. I can’t remember if it’s due in 2024 or 2025. Took the family to this one. I thought it was okay. Some clever ideas in some places, some unsettling moments. You could definitely see where they changed some things to get the PG-13 rating.

    For some fun light ribbing.

    “how is she controlling other tech?”
    Man, haven’t you seen how those kids hacked their schools announcement system to Rick Roll the whole school? Wireless tech is crazy when it’s not secured. 

    “How does she fit all those computer parts in her small frame?”
    Look at how small our cell phones are and how powerful they are compared to 10 years ago. Alternatively, this is a MARVEL movie and it’s Pym Particles shrinking components.

    “Is she actually on a server somewhere and the body is just a puppet?”
    Yes. I’m guessing she backs herself up daily or something.

    “Why is that body so light at times, but able to be so strong at others?
    So she can do weird crazy unsettling movement things that trigger that uncanny valley part of your brain. 

    “Why would they make a toy that could kill someone with it’s bare hands?”
    Lawn darts.
