M3GAN 2.0 revives the robot in the grand tradition of sci-fi horror sequels, but this time, she's not out to get you. Naturally, Gemma (Allison Williams) and Cady (Violet McGraw) collaborate to defeat a deadly robot, but in a predictable turn of events, they must rely on M3GAN to save the day. M3GAN 2.0 examines the future of AI from a far broader global perspective than the original film, which focused on the topic of parental screen addiction and alienation from kids. Like the robot of the same name, M3GAN 2.0 has expanded significantly in recent years.
Oddly enough, M3GAN 2.0's structure is very similar to terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991).  Following her loss at the end of the first film, M3GAN (voiced by Jenna Davis and performed by Amie Donald) reportedly concealed her remaining source from Gemma (Allison Williams), her creator, to surreptitiously watch over her niece Cady (Violet McGraw) as the little girl approached her preteen years.  Not only has M3GAN come to reluctantly embrace Gemma as a member of Cady's family during this time, but the US government has also acquired Gemma's old (stolen) papers and developed their own AI assassin, the lethal AMELIA (Ivanna Sakhno).
AMELIA has attained a similar level of consciousness as M3GAN, who became self-aware and determined to defend her own interests by any means necessary. She then sets out on a quest to execute everyone accountable for her creation, which regrettably includes Gemma and Cady by proxy.  At first, M3GAN tries to isolate her "family" in a secret underground bunker, but the girls persuade him to assist in halting AMELIA's vengeful rampage.  M3GAN 2.0 only becomes wilder and stranger from there.  The tale goes to some really crazy areas in a way that has now become standard for all james Wan productions, even though the film's comparatively modest budget prevents it from going too far in terms of visuals. 
M3GAN 2.0 finds time to be surprisingly philosophical when it isn't occupied with action and tongue-in-cheek humor.  The way it develops each of its main returning characters is particularly clear evidence of this.  Gerard Johnstone makes a special effort to keep M3GAN, Gemma, and Cady recognizable, although they experience major alterations during the film, unlike james cameron, who used a cunning switcharoo to obtain a “good” T-800 in T2.  Characters in this film don't only wait for their big moment in a sequel.  Every one of them is continuously making new mistakes, growing from them, and using what they have learned.  There is a genuine feeling of development, which fits in well with the plot's growing complexity. 
The potential of the M3GAN franchise has not been destroyed, despite the fact that it has become as self-aware as its robots.  However, it does result in a movie that, throughout the story, is clearly attempting to find its tone, mission, and position in the canon.  M3GAN 2.0 is probably the first of many M3GAN productions that will balance comedy, action, and horror.  With a cinema full of people eager to laugh along with the picture, there's no reason why fans shouldn't allow M3GAN 2.0 to be the next entertaining hit. This summer has already been fantastic for movies. 
Overall, MEGAN 2.0 is Wilder and Weirder For The Better
