This isn’t Child’s Play
nor is 2001’s A.I. nor the 80s Small Wonder series. A pinch of characteristics of David from Prometheus, Sonny from I Robot & Ava of
Ex-Machina; is embedded inside M3GHAN.
M3GHAN seems to be directed
in a manner to raise an alarming bell as what happens if & when Androids go
out of control, which I somehow don’t support. Creativity can make anyone a
Protagonist or Antagonist; herein M3GHAN is the antagonist, who has gone a bit
out of control in protecting Cady (the girl (who lost both her parents) she’s
being living with being a test subject). Just as Cady been succumbed to the
attachment theory after meeting M3GHAN; M3GHAN too seems to have been succumbed
to the said theory.
The ending where
M3GHAN, an Android, starts walking as if has been possessed, & all that
messy make-up, looked a bit out of sync to me. Means, she being basically been
transformed into a possessed evil human body, didn’t look like a Sci-Fi
picturization. C’mon!
The best part was when
M3GHAN plays Toy Soldiers on piano. That was one of the most wittiest
scene. The dance was a bit cheesy. But undeniably, the bonding of both Cady
& M3GHAN that stitched the entire flick.
But I have a question.
A mere toy company inventing this level of AGI without any investment or
otherwise, makes Gemma & her team -> genius.
This is opposite to
what we saw in Finch, Transcendence, Automata. Of course, Bruce, the Robot,
been projected more in sync with human civilization; but M3GHAN is basically an
alarming bell, reducing AGI to be mere an antagonist, rather an indispensable asset.
Despite that, it was an
OK watch!
