S1m0ne Audience Reviews

GurlyIamBeach Instant Favorite.
SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.
BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
generationofswine I don't see the problem with this, it has everything a movie should need to be a hit.I mean, Al Pacino is in it. Sure you feel sort of robbed if you sit through a Pacino movie and he hasn't screamed and yelled by the end of it. Something about snakes on a...wait, that's Sam Jackson, but it was an easy mistake, we go to see their films for largely the same reason.But even if he didn't scream and yell and threaten to take a flame-thrower to this place...it's still Al Pacino, so you have to see it. He DID give us the hands-down best documentary on Shakespeare ever made.And it had Winona Ryder in it, and she's not only a great actress but, if you are my age, you had a crush on her growing up.Jay Mohr, the man who was in EVERY 90s movie ever made.So the movie is worth seeing for the cast, there is talent there.But wait there is more, Andrew Niccol wrote it...you know Gattaca, The Terminal, Lord of War, The Truman Show...the dude has a seriously sharp pen and S1m0ne is no exception.The script is tight, it went places, it had points and plot lines seldom made in this era of plot less pointless popcorn munching entertainment.Not only that, but the directing was solid too.It should have been a force to be reckoned with in the box office...and yet no one has seen it.Check it out, it's a good film and one that is going to be rediscovered and praised, in the future, when critics and audiences learn how to think again.Once society starts using that lump that's three-feet above their...well, if it came out in the 70s, the 80s, the 90s, you's have heard about it and seen it on EW's Movies to See Before you Die list.Unfortunately for everyone involved, it came out at the birth of the re-make era where originality is shunned.
adonis98-743-186503 A producer's film is endangered when his star walks off, so he decides to digitally create an actress to substitute for the star, becoming an overnight sensation that everyone thinks is a real person. S1m0ne stars Al Pacino, Evan Rachel Wood and Winona Ryder and although all 3 of them are talented actors unfortunately the film is pretty awful and boring it's all about this producer played by Pacino trying to built a name around this fake actress that doesn't exist and the result is just slow pacing and weird characters making no sense i tried to understand this but also like it but it gave me nothing to enjoy or even like it was just boring and dumb and it's sad cause Al Pacino is one of the greatest actors ever born.
TheLittleSongbird I was interested in seeing this film, because I was intrigued by the concept, I saw that the director Andrew Niccol also wrote for The Truman Show and I love that film and I like Al Pacino. On paper this should have been a great film, instead it is uneven but worth seeing.I agree the romance is dull, that the script has its weak spots, the direction is lacking in places and that the story is unevenly paced. However, I loved the concept and the satire worked as it was very sharp and thought-provoking. Al Pacino handles his role well, and Rachel Roberts is intriguing as S1m0ne, while Catherine Keener, Winona Ryder Jason Schwartzman and Jay Mohr are solid.Overall, it was a decent film but could have been more. 6/10 Bethany Cox
Niklas Pivic Al Pacino plays a movie director with integrity who gets kicked by a movie studio, inherits a hard drive (!) through which he creates "Simone", a virtual human being, and from there films. Things do get tricky as he has to do stuff to make people think the virtual reality really is real. I cannot even begin to properly allow you to read how much I hate this film; it's like taking Philosophy 101, reading Descartes saying "I think, therefore I am" and then formulating your own theories thinking you're God, unknowing to the fact that somebody already did this before you, and that the plot and story are so wafer-thin that you just want to kill someone. Not to mention there are logical holes as big as our galaxy in this piece of crap, I want to kill everybody included in this film, and the end was so bad I wanted to Patrick Bateman myself. So why do I give it 2/10? I'm sleep deprived today, and this is the type of film I usually see when I can't think. This film made me realise it was horrible and stupid, and I shouldn't be able to do that. F-ing trash piece of garbage ill. AAAYEIAYEIYYEIYI!
