It was a fun little time-killer but not much more.
The Twilight Zone did this 60 years ago inside half an hour and squeezed out more chills and suspense.

Is M3gan supposed to be a comedy?

All the while when I thought this was the dumbest looking thing I'd seen in forever, I didn't realize it was directed by the guy who made Housebound, which was a great deal of fun. It was dumb and creepy at once, and very knowingly stupid, which was the right tone for that movie. It makes me a little more accepting of this one. |

I saw at least one interview with the director where he said something akin to 'My heart is in comedy.' so I have no doubt, while horror, there are deliberately comedic elements thrown in. The dead pet advertisement at the beginning is one for sure. |

 Surprisingly watchable considering it's just a mash-up of The Terminator and Chucky. Also, a real warning for the future when the tech catches up, don't leave the kids alone with robots! |

Yeah, it was alright. The tik tok dance scenes were indeed extremely annoying, as I thought they'd be, but none of this is meant to be a serious satire or intense horror. I think it was clearly always going to be pretty shallow in the satirical and the horrific elements so it leaned into silly fun. Probably the right move. |
