Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAmie Donald performed any of M3GAN's scenes that called for physical movement the puppet could not do. She also performed all of her own stunt work. Donald received movement coaching from Jed Brophy and Luke Hawker in portraying M3GAN's agility. On set, Donald wore a static silicone M3GAN mask created by Morot FX, and this was later replaced by a CGI version of M3GAN's face to match that of the animatronic.
- GoofsAt around 1:17, M3gan uses the frame she was suspended from to hoist Cole up off the ground, almost succeeding in hanging him. But this would only be possible if M3gan was heavier than Cole (because the cable was just strung through a simple pulley - a one to one ratio, with no mechanical advantage) And earlier, M3gan was light enough for a 12yo boy to easily carry; Certainly not the same weight as even the lightest adult man.
- Alternate versionsUnrated version restores various scenes which were trimmed/replaced for violence and language to secure a PG-13 rating.

Featured review
Just Fine
Solid and, at times, actually entertaining. Like other reviewers have mentioned, this strikes me as another version of the 2019 Childs Play; a fun, doesn't-take-itself too-seriously movie. Nonetheless, it added its own spin to the horror/comedy genre with its intentional and unintentional comedy.
I went into M3GAN with little to no expectation given the only marketing material I could remember was the dance scene. I found that the film accomplished the message it set out on. Parents suck at raising children and having no parental figure could be deadly because they will get attached to anything that shows them affection.
As far as the quality of the film, there wasn't really anything surprising or new I could think of. Most of the elements were very predictable from the beginning. That's not always a bad thing because most people like the predictability and knowing where a film is headed.
Overall, not bad for an early January released PG-13 horror movie.
