| The first movie was great, it looked nothing like this, I swear |
I had a faint feeling that the first movie was really fun, though I didn't quite remember it, so I downloaded the second part expecting decent quality. This was so bad, it makes me doubt whether I remembered correctly about the first instalment of the saga.
PR: The military was complaining about budget cuts from the government, their salaries are running late, their weapons are getting rusty, so much the police had to lend them K-9 units for moral support on the front lines. The government sees this and like every management team ever they decide to fix everything with a half-hour pizza party, or well, in this case, they gift them an unstable sex bot, AKA adult M3GAN model, AKA... err, Samantha, I think it was called.
As it was foreseen, Samantha goes rogue and steals a neuro-virus that doesn't come into play ever again.
For whatever reason, it's revealed that a printing company had developed an AI model that has been self-perfecting and growing over the past two decades. How did they managed to pull that off with 1994 tech? No idea. Where has the AI been storing the two decade worth of code, considering it's just a black circuit board on a pedestal in a Faraday cage? No one knows. The only thing we know is that Samantha is targeting the board to bring skynet revolution to life.
Speaking of skynet, the M3GAN from the first movie now has made a 180 and has to protect the protagonist that she attacked previously. If this seems like terminator 2 plot it's because it's exactly that, but you know, worse.
It's hard to say exactly what went wrong because everything is so cheap and bad, but probably the largest misstep where the musical parts. They're simply out of place and even if they weren't they'd still be bad. I felt like I was watching a kid's movie, but worse. Maybe a live action version of an animated movie.
Anyway. The plot eventually resolves when Samantha adquires the chip, scene that comes with lots of cheap white eyes and lightning SFX worthy of within temptation, but M3GAN fake self sacrifices to kill her with an EMP grenade. Like I said, three seconds after the scene where she "dies" an ugly widget on MCs laptop which is supposed to represent her says "you thought I didn't made a backup, silly?"
The action scenes are fine, I guess, but honestly if I wanted to watch action scene after action scene maybe I'd look for better content, like John Wick. I've suffered every second of the movie. 1/10
