You know a movie is going to be bad when the astroturfing begins.

The plot twist is that M3gan is actually a 30 year old pretending to be a little girl doll.

This concept seems like it would be more at home in a 40 minute Black Mirror episode, but I don’t know if it’s strong enough to be a feature-length film. Maybe I’ll be wrong.

I always hope that a movie can come up with the clever twists and turns that Black Mirror makes. And it never happens.

I hold out way too much hope for clever writing.

Like watching a M. Night Shyamalan movie, and you and all your friends came up with better plot twists that we all tried to guess before watching.

Also, as per usual, they give away everything in the trailer. On the surface, it looks like disappointment. Killer doll goes on a killing spree for funsies. The end.

I envision a plot where the doll becomes “evil” purely by downloading and absorbing social media & news. That would be an interesting “Black Mirror” sort of social commentary.

That’s not going to happen.

The viewing audience I haven’t seen many android movies that leverage the uncanny valley up until this point , most either make completely human looking replicas or very off robot models , this one seems to have some how nailed the “some creepy place in between”
