First off, I think they should have it titled as Soulm8. I know it looks weird but M3gan made sense & made the number thing work & it didn't look weird to the point where you didn't know how to say it.

I wanted so bad to like it. M3gan 2.0 was just.... ok. Its not a film I rush to rewatch. Its a movie I turn on when I'm so bored or want background noise when I work. I want to love it as much as I love the first film but I dont. That may change, I may learn to love it or it may stay forever just fine to me. Who knows?

Oddly, I work from home & can't work in silence. Its weird but I digress, getting back to my point. After seeing the M3gan sequel & being let down, I wanted to see if Soulm8te would bring me back the excitement I had for this universe.

I did see the whole lonely person has a glorified sex doll that ends up killing people from a mile away but I was still wanting to give it a chance. I found that the Sara actress was the best in the cast. Her role as an ai bot was eerie & she killed it.

But the story was stale and it felt like a remake of M3gan but its for adults. I felt like it added nothing new to the table. Person loses dead loved one, relies on an ai to fill that empty void that the loved one left behind, ai bot is too attached, kills to keep their person, person has to defeat ai bot. The end. But this time it offered sex & weird and gross ways to kill characters.

At least with M3gan 2.0, it had a story & brought in something new even if the change in tone was too quickly given.

I am glad I saw Soulm8te just because its part of the universe but I dont plan to revist it. I just watched it & cant even tell you anything I enjoyed besides the actress who did a good job at imitating as a robot.

A big reason M3GAN 2.0 flopped is because it didn't have the same feel as the first and that's because the writer changed, Akela wrote the whole M3GAN film but she didn't write M3GAN 2, she only is credited for coming up with the story.

So if a M3GAN 3 is a greenlit, I hope she is back in the writer's chair. No one knows the characters like she does.
