If M3GAN's science-fiction stayed with you, A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001) delivers the same sensation through an entirely different story. The drama through-line is the real common thread between them.

Where M3GAN excels in science-fiction, Upgrade (2018) doubles down on action to comparable effect. The tonal similarities run deep enough that watching both back-to-back feels intentional.

Child's Play 2 (1990) is the natural next step after M3GAN: same horror DNA, different perspective. The dark streak and thriller elevate it well above a simple genre exercise.
