Megan 2.0_Movie Review

Source

When I finished watching the first sequel of this movie. Megan, I honestly thought the movie had ended very ok. It was intriguing, kept me on the edge of my seat, as a horror movie should overall I loved the combination of AI and horror I felt unique to me.

So when the news came out that there was going to be a second part, Megan 2.0, I was initially curious. What more could they possibly want to show us? The first film felt complete in itself. But after finally watching the sequel, I can happily say I wasn’t disappointed, in fact, I’m not mad at the sequel at all.

Megan 2.0 takes everything from the first movie, the dangers of unchecked AI, the blurry line between protection and control, and the emotional gaps in human relationships, and pushes it into a whole new territory. The shift from pure horror to horror-action really worked for me. It kept things fresh, surprising, and engaging in a whole new level from the first film. It gave Megan a new look.

One of the things I liked most was that instead of continuing the same path of the AI robot gone rogue, it became about AI and humans working together to develop and coexist. Megan is no longer just the villain; she's grown now and knows better so becomes part of the
development.

The moment that really stood out to me was when Gemma had to make the tough choice to work with Megan in order to protect her nephew. The scene carried a lot of tension but it added to the spice in the movie. In the first movie, Megan was the threat everyone needed to eliminate. In Megan 2.0 she becomes a necessary evil, and Gemma’s decision shows how far she is willing to compromise to ensure her nephew’s safety. Making Megan into the not all that bad character was an interesting part of this sequel because the first part was just her being evil.

Performance-wise, the cast delivered solidly. The young actor playing the nephew brought a lot of emotion and authenticity, which is important because his safety and innocence are really what drives Gemma’s decisions.

I also love the fact that it wasn't predictable, it kept me on my feet till the end. Most movies with sequels are always predictable so I like that this wasn't.

In the end, Megan 2.0 proved itself as a worthy sequel. It didn't just follow the plot of the first sequel but brought up a whole new one and it was worth the watch.

I'll rate it a 4.5/5 with this rating I'll recommend this movie to anyone who loves thrill and love AI related movies.

Lots of love from jhymie 🥰
