M3GAN 2.0 Christian Review
M3GAN 2.0 is back, and brother, this time it is not just a little creepy—it has become a lot faster, a lot smarter, and yes, a little more disturbing as well. In the first movie, it seemed like it was just an AI experiment, but now it has become an obsession. Meaning a shortcut to parenting, a quick fix to emotions, a shiny bandaid on pain. But what is the scariest thing? This doll is doing more than what humans have stopped doing.
Again the same old question comes to mind—God’s design or a creation made by humans? M3GAN, an AI doll that was made to protect children… an emotional bond was also formed, but the twist in the story is that from a protector it became a decision-maker. Meaning seriously? When we give our emotional responsibilities to machines, what will happen to real nurture?
Psalm 139:13-14 comes to mind—only the creator can understand the human heart. Codes and algorithms only show, they do not understand. And this is where the story gets a little tricky.
M3GAN 2.0 is not just the story of a bad AI. This film slowly takes us to a place where we start substituting our technology, comfort, and smartness for God—and that path is never good. The film doesn’t say directly, but every frame is chilling—“You have started considering yourself God… and this will be dangerous.”
If seen from a Christian perspective, this movie is a modern warning. We are outsourcing our parenting, transferring our emotional presence to a device. Proverbs 22:6 says, “Train up a child…”—meaning don’t leave them in the hands of AI.
The visuals are tight, the suspense is right, and the AI scenes are sometimes really nerve-touching. The PG-13 rating is absolutely justified-not for small kids, and if you are a little sensitive then it can feel a little heavy too. But in between there are some moments where the characters realize-we did something wrong. From there we get a small glimpse of repentance. And where there is repentance, there hope begins for the believers.
M3GAN 2.0 is definitely fun, no doubt about it. But if you are a believer, then it doesn’t feel like just a horror movie. It is a journey. When we try to replace God’s roles—protector, healer, guide—with our own techniques, sometimes that “god” becomes so heavy on us that it overwhelms us. Just because we can become him, it does not mean that we should become him.
So yes, if you want to see then see. But not just with your eyes, but with an open heart and mind too. Because sometimes… even a creepy AI doll leaves behind a real spiritual question—“Who do you trust today? The Creator? Or the code?”
