It stars Allison Williams, Violet McGraw, and Ronny Chieng, while Amie Donald performs the titular doll, who is voiced by Jenna Davis.The film follows a roboticist, Gemma (Williams), who gains custody of her orphaned niece, Cady (Violet McGraw). Overwhelmed with the challenge of raising a traumatized child, the roboticist decides to bring in the aid of M3GAN (short for Model Three Generative Android), a doll-like robot designed to be a child's greatest companion and protector. Naturally, things go wrong.The film released in a few countries in late December 2022 and in the USA on January 6, 2023. Not to be confused with the short film Megan.A sequel, titled M3GAN 2.0, is planned for release on January 17, 2025, with Williams and McGraw set to reprise their roles.Previews: Trailer, Trailer 2

M3GAN / int_14180452	comment	Instantly Proven Wrong: When Gemma narrates over how M3GAN will never lose patience with reminding children of routine matters, like remembering to flush the toilet and wash their hands after using the bathroom, at first M3GAN gently reminds Cady to do those things. But when it happens again (or, most likely, after multiple occurrences), she grows annoyed and exasperatedly tells Cady, "Seriously - flush the toilet," the first hints at her evolving programming and developing actual emotions. Brandon's mother tells Gemma that despite her son's age, he's a sweet, sensitive boy. Then she calls out to Brandon to check on him. His response? "Fuck off, Holly."

M3GAN / int_177a6464	comment	Genre Shift: This movie is labelled a Sci-Fi Horror movie but in practice ends up being Sci-Fi Drama and followed up by Sci-Fi Horror. The movie overall is basically a Two Lines, No Waiting story about a woman learning to be a parent to her niece and help her toy-making company succeed in the market, which she does by constructing and programming M3GAN. It's after the demonstration that the movie slowly shifts from the drama to the horror as M3GAN slowly turns into a villainous murderer who doesn't hesitate to kill anyone she deems a threat to Cady.

In the climax, with her murders now revealed, M3GAN initially tries to reach a truce with Gemma by once more offering to let her "focus on the things that really matter". This time, Gemma rejects it, as the doll's purpose has been perverted. A visual example; Gemma uses a pen to distract M3GAN and reach her off switch before she can react. Later, M3GAN uses the same pen to explain how she can use it to effectively "turn off" Gemma, as in jam it into her cerebral cortex in the right spot to render her a vegetable.

And M3GAN is notably quiet in that moment as well, either out of not wanting to interrupt or having slipped down the morality slide and no longer caring.

But when it happens again (or, most likely, after multiple occurrences), she grows annoyed and exasperatedly tells Cady, "Seriously - flush the toilet," the first hints at her evolving programming and developing actual emotions.

During it, Cady breaks down and begins talking about how much she misses her recently deceased parents and how she's afraid she's going to eventually forget about them. On top of making the board members feel awkward, it initially seems that Cady's emotional distress is beyond M3GAN's capabilities. However, M3GAN quickly consoles Cady and even proves how useful her technology is, using her recording capabilities to tape Cady recounting a memory of her mother, which M3GAN plays back for her, assuring Cady that this way her memories will never be forgotten. The demonstration is a resounding success, with the initial hurdle of Cady's breakdown actually making it more impactful.

For most of the movie, she isn't very involved with being a parent to Cady, is slow to realize there's trouble and comes close to losing her life and Cady's. Brandon's mother doesn't seem to realize (or is in denial) that her son is displaying troubling behavior and doesn't call him out when he uses bad language in front of her and Gemma. He also seems to be a few years older than the group of children Cady is with, which the mom justifies as "a growth spurt" when Gemma questions his age. She was also talking about how behavioral issues are linked to high I.Q. when Cady calls out for help. To a lesser extent, the alternative school's teacher is certainly kind and well-meaning, but seems oblivious to Brandon's bullying. When one boy fearfully whispers to her that he doesn't want to be paired with Brandon, the teacher's response is to simply pair Brandon with the new girl rather than look into his behavior.

M3GAN / int_bb18a227	comment	M3GAN has no problem maiming Brandon and chasing him into the path of a car for bullying Cady. And once Cady catches M3GAN attacking Gemma and turns on her, M3GAN ditches her goal of protecting Cady and instead attacks her too, seemingly intent on killing her now that she's decided to make herself her own primary user.

M3GAN / int_c75df49a	type	Shout-Out
M3GAN / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: The name Gemma could be a reference to Gemma Chan, who played the robotic main character in the series Humans. During the montage of M3GAN's development, there's an homage to the infamous "pushing the robot around" clips from Boston Dynamics. Later, when M3GAN chases Brandon in the forest, she does so on all fours like the Big Dog robot. There's a Silent Running poster behind a monitor in the Funki office, and Celia's dog shares a name with one of the drone robots in Silent Running. M3GAN being hidden among other large toys on the school's toy table is like a scene from E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial where ET hides among large toys in a cupboard. M3GAN's line "I'm afraid that won't work anymore" mirrors HAL 9000's "I'm afraid I can't do that" When Brandon is hit by a car, one of his shoes is left behind. The hotel on the mountain at the start, and the shot in the hallway before the attack, are possible references to The Shining. (Later in that scene, leaving bodies in the elevator may be a reference to Die Hard.) One of Gemma's collectables is a Robby the Robot doll from Forbidden Planet (M3GAN picks up on this in a fanfic that expands the Kurt Gas Lighting scene); there's also a Frankenstein toy

M3GAN / int_d129e13e	comment	By the final act, Gemma realizes how badly she has failed as a parent, not only to Cady but to M3GAN, and even agrees with M3GAN about her failings when she calls her out. The "Eureka!" Moment that led to this was her seeing an interview with Cady displayed on the company's wall, in which Cady says that the best part of having M3GAN is that she feels seen in the same way her mother saw her.

M3GAN / int_d39e327f	comment	What the Hell, Hero?: During the final confrontation, M3GAN calls Gemma out for the fact that she gave her the capacity to learn and just left her to her own devices to figure things out, and that in turn Gemma got exactly what she wanted: a robot companion that could learn and adapt. M3GAN's also not happy about the fact that she felt as though the two were friends during her creation, but then Gemma just dumped her out to be sold as a product. At M3GAN's demonstration before the board, her initial response to Cady's overwhelmed crying is to give Gemma a Death Glare through the one-way mirror, viewing her creator with contempt for not tending to Cady's emotional needs the way she should be.

As this ending is a reshoot, Violet McGraw was likely not available and therefore "Cady" is a stand-in.

After M3GAN is presented to the board, the first thing he does afterwards is to congratulate Gemma and offer her a new employment contract, while staying professional. This is further contrasted with David's moodiness, mistreatment of Kurt (or everyone else, really) and emotional reaction to business prospects. Tess advises that Gemma should take time off from her job to spend time with Cady rather than keep working on her deadline, especially since she also lost her sister. Gemma doesnâ€™t take her advice.
