M3GAN 2.0 (cross post with Reel Talk at Alamo Drafthouse Lakeline)

AI companions chatbots are fairly common these days, so this future of AI *physical* companions and friends like Megan, does not seem that far off.

For our post-movie discussion, we will meet at the Glass Half Full Taproom, which is located to the right of the Alamo Drafthouse Lakeline entrance. If the indoor bar is closed, our backup location is the adjacent patio.

## Get a front-row seat to the ultimate mean girl showdown

Two years after M3GAN, a marvel of artificial intelligence, went rogue and embarked on a murderous (and impeccably choreographed) rampage and was subsequently destroyed, M3GAN’s creator Gemma (Allison Williams) has become a high-profile author and advocate for government oversight of A.I. Meanwhile, Gemma’s niece Cady (Violet McGraw), now 14, has become a teenager, rebelling against Gemma’s overprotective rules. Unbeknownst to them, the underlying tech for M3GAN has been stolen and misused by a powerful defense contractor to create a military-grade weapon known as Amelia (Ivanna Sakhno; Ahsoka, PACIFIC RIM: UPRISING), the ultimate killer infiltration spy. But as Amelia’s self-awareness increases, she becomes decidedly less interested in taking orders from humans. Or in keeping them around. With the future of human existence on the line, Gemma realizes that the only option is to resurrect M3GAN (Amie Donald, voiced by Jenna Davis) and give her a few upgrades, making her faster, stronger, and more lethal. As their paths collide, the original A.I. bitch is about to meet her match.
