- TriviaAmie Donald a 10 year old national champion dancer and brown belt in karate who was discovered "at a farm down the road" provided the full body moving shots, including all the stunts, and the dancing scenes for M3GAN. Director Gerard Johnstone said in an interview "The methodology was essentially to use an animatronic puppet when she's still, and as soon as she starts moving she's a girl in a mask," and that it had only been possible because the "incredible young actress" had physical abilities he hadn't believed anyone would have, and was so completely dedicated she would work out how to do anything he asked of her. Donald received coaching from Luke Hawker, a movement coach used to working in prosthetics, and worked with a stunt team (who she amazed by not needing any wires or rigging to perform the superhuman feats). On set, Donald wore a static silicone M3GAN mask created by Morot FX, which was later animated with CGI for M3GAN to appear to be speaking.

Featured review
M3gan (M3gan), is a horror and science fiction film about a robot with artificial intelligence, a robotics engineer named Gemma who specializes in robotic toys, builds what promises to be the most innovative toy that will put the company ahead where she works, M3gan is a lifelike doll programmed to be a child's best companion and parent's best ally with all the technological advances she has, but doing so will have unimaginable consequences.
The tape begins with a commercial for toys that look like furby and fonzo from the simpsons, this toy is the most coveted of children so far, then we go to a family driving in the middle of a snow storm who have an accident, they are relatives of Gemma, consequently Gemma suddenly becomes the caretaker for her 8-year-old niece, Cady, Gemma has intense pressure at work, so she decides to pair her M3GAN prototype with Cady in an attempt to solve both problems, she will be your new best friend, for better or worse.
It is interesting how they present us with the scoop of their history, we are increasingly relying on technology, parents leave the education of their children to technological means since they prioritize their activities, as is the case of Gemma who has intense pressure on the work, on the tape M3gan listens, watches and learns as she becomes a friend, teacher, playmate and protector, to Cady the girl she's bonded to and we're not too far from M3gan even existing, which is unsettling.
Here we have a combination of concepts such as Terminator and Chucky and it is inevitable to think about those tapes, M3gan was asked to take care of Cady physically and emotionally, but how far will he go so that no one ever hurts Cady? On the other hand, the The story is predictable almost from the beginning, when Gemma shows Cady one of her university projects we will practically know how the movie will end, we also have time jumps that are taken for granted, without saying if days, weeks or months have passed.
In short, M3gan is the new chucky for centennials, with recycled concepts for the new generations, visually I must say that they did a very good job, with the puppets and the doubles of M3gan, I think it manages to be an entertaining movie that would even be enjoyed to see more in home, they also leave an ending that can lead to a second movie or why not, a new franchise of horror dolls.
Rating: 7.5.
