"The AI-horror sequel takes the story into darker territory. The new M3GAN is more advanced and more dangerous than before. The film explores technology dependency and control. The tone is both entertaining and unsettling. Action and horror elements are stronger than in the first movie. Modern techno-horror."

After the underlying tech for M3GAN is stolen and misused by a powerful defense contractor to create a military-grade weapon known as Amelia, M3GAN's creator Gemma realizes that the only option is to resurrect M3GAN and give her a few upgrades, making her faster, stronger, and more lethal.
