An Incredible Storyline Without the Best Ending
`
Baby doll horror movies are common, what would happen if the baby doll was a robot as well? The “M3GAN” movie is a horror/sci-fi film that recently came out on Jan. 6, 2023. The movie features a young girl named Cady, who just recently moved in with her aunt after the passing of her parents. Cady’s aunt Gemma is a roboticist for a popular toy company, and she creates an intelligent robot. The robot/doll is designed specifically to keep children that are paired safe and out of harm, and to entertain them. M3GAN is paired with Cady and the two begin to get attached.
In the beginning of the movie, things start to look up, and everyone sees M3GAN as just something they will make money off of. They underestimated Gemma’s invention, and began to notice strange behaviors from the robot. Everywhere she went, disaster struck. There’s a lot of this that plays out in the movie, and the horrors committed by the evil invention. Her goal is to be with Cady and keep her safe, and the only way she sees fit to do that is by taking down anything that stands in her way. It was suspenseful, but also funny in a way.
A few months before the movie premiered, its trailer went viral all over Tik Tok. M3GAN did a dance before she committed a certain kill, which was supposed to be portrayed as creepy and eerie. Instead, it got laughed at; in fact, most of the M3GAN movie scenes did. A lot of scenes where the audience was supposed to be frightened were the funniest ones. This is not to discredit the fact that it was an enjoyable movie, it was just a little confusing on the terms of the emotions viewers should be feeling.
This movie had the worst ending! It was very predictable, so naturally it was not very exciting and wasn’t surprising at all! From the moment the movie started and M3GAN was introduced, viewers could almost tell exactly what was going to happen. Besides that, the plot of the movie was great, though it could have been executed better. This excludes the acting, it was one of the best things about the movie. It’s interesting to think about what the world would look like if we had an invention like M3GAN? What would our world look like if M3GAN was real?
