M3gan : Marvel Movie - Trailer and Review
What a fantastic movie that was—funny, terrifying, sad, and moving all at once. The actors and actresses in the film were all excellent; among them were Allison Williams, who played the roboticist Gemma, and Violet McGraw, who plays Cady. Both of these actors and actresses are very young and talented, and I have no doubt that they will succeed.
Violet does such a fantastic job acting throughout the film. You can see the various challenges she faces and the range of emotions she must convey, and she simply nails it. Furthermore, the fact that the movie is somewhat realistic makes it even more ominous because it raises the possibility that real robot dolls for children may be available in the future. After all, robots are already being built, so why not? But let's hope that the movie stays a movie since robots are unpredictable and dangerous, so let's hope that it doesn't become reality.
The two young girls really worked so well together in the movie, and the actress who plays M3gan does a great job; in other words, the casting for this film couldn't have been more ideal. There's no doubt that this will rank among the top horror films of the year, and it features Chucky-like elements, so they're also really spooky. Additionally, there are hints of a sequel at the film's conclusion thanks to the AI object in Gemma's home. Who knows if M3gan's mind might be housed inside that object?
Overall, this is a fantastic film that I highly recommend seeing because it is both amusing and heartfelt while still being frightening. Although it's not particularly kid-friendly, use caution.
