Dennis Harvey Variety Aug 10, 2026
None of this is remotely credible, or particularly suspenseful. But it is handled with reasonable aplomb by director Kate Dolan and her cast, who do their best to elevate material that can only be raised so far. Go to Full Review
David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter Aug 4, 2026
The movie is more watchable than you might expect, and the cast is appealing. But one of its issues is the amount of plot overlap with last year’s Companion, a sharper satirical jab at toxic relationships and technophobia. Go to Full Review

Let [this film] serve as a reminder to film executives everywhere: Not every sleeper hit needs to become an unofficial trilogy. Go to Full Review

3/5
...the kind of sci-fi horror movie that I may not watch again, but I enjoyed watching it now. And yes, I think most viewers will enjoy this one as well. Especially those who already love the M3GAN universe. Go to Full Review

Soulm8te is a victim of the aspirations of Blumhouse's box-office bust M3GAN 2.0, as it was clearly dumped onto VOD to avoid another blunder. Go to Full Review

Joe G @darkknight85 2 days ago Even though this was steamy and sensual, Megan is still the best version of these AI movies. By that I mean Megan part one. The kills were okay but the movie didn't have any creepines to it. It's not a horror or a thriller. I don't know what to make of it See more Matthew S @RT60357813 2 days ago Love Without Consent: When Devotion Becomes Possession Soulm8te and Obsession (2026) explore remarkably similar psychological territory: What happens when someone gains the power to manufacture unconditional love? In Soulm8te, artificial intelligence creates the seemingly perfect companion. In Obsession, supernatural forces transform romantic desire into pathological devotion. Both examine the disturbing intersection of love, autonomy, obsession, and control. Their protagonists attempt to eliminate the uncertainty and vulnerability essential to genuine relationships, only to discover that manufactured devotion can become monstrous. The deeper horror isn’t simply an obsessive partner. It’s the belief that love can be engineered, demanded, or possessed. Both films ultimately reinterpret Frankenstein’s central warning: The monster may be less a product of its creation than a reflection of its creator’s desires. See more Stefan T @RT59011053 4 days ago This movie leaves you feeling a bit at a loss. Is it good or not? On the one hand, the idea isn’t new, but it’s particularly timely and piques your curiosity—even though the ending is almost always the same in this genre of films. The beginning is very good and leaves you wanting more. Unfortunately, though, the remaining 70 minutes drag on very slowly and without any inspiration, leading up to a finale that was exactly as expected—including the cliffhanger, which isn’t really a surprise either. Sadly, a lot of potential was somewhat carelessly wasted here. They should have made much more of it. The cast isn’t really convincing either; one or two roles would have deserved better, more charismatic actors. See more Shelby S @SBinge 5 days ago Beginning of the movie was promising, good concept but everything that followed was purely predictable. Offering no distinction for the plethora of movies out now about the same topic. Not to mention the storybook ending. Very disappointing to put it nicely. See more Jason B @Rocinante1967 Oct 3, 2026 The fact it only has a female feels like the close minded world of the 80s. It clearly was written by some dinasour from a gross period where woman are merely toys for grown men who never escaped their lower teens. The concept is curious but the execution is rather lazy and dated. Even A.I. from the early 2000s had a much broader view of this subject. Don’t waste your time. See more Garry A @heavyg Oct 2, 2026 I'd call this one M3Gan-lite. You don't have to give it your full attention. See more Read all reviews
