S1m0ne (2003, DVD)

This film was intriguing in its exploration of reality, and for that reason, I found it enjoyable. It might have been the director's intention to convey the abstract-ness of the world of the computer age and virtual reality. I have to admit, however, I missed the passionate taste of life in this film. The characters were too cardboard and shallow in nature. The story didn't penetrate enough into the spirit and passion of what it means to be human; and for that reason, the film's experience left me wanting. But then again, that may have been the director's intent to communicate such a lifeless and empty world.

This is one of my FAVORITE movies. Al Pacino is legendary and every film he stars in turns to gold. I'm surprised that so little people know about this movie, but in my opinion, this is a great movie for lazy summer nights, girl nights, date nights, party nights, etc.

Intriguing flick. This was a relative unknown movie, even though it stars Al Paccino. Al Paccino is a sci fi type movie, no less. And get this, Al Paccino in a movie where there is no sex or violence and basicly no swearing. This is an interesting movie that comments on our society's unwavering ability to celebrate celebrity at all costs.

arrived early, and in good condition. i like the storyline of the movie. it was for a friend for a birthday.

We had rented this movie and seen it on Comcast "on demand" a few times and it was so good that we just HAD to buy it.
Love it!

In my opinion this was an underdog that just didn't get viewed enough. Great movie from begining to end.

In my opinion, this was an interesting, thought-provoking and well-crafted movie. I thoroughly enjoyed it, even while thinking some things about it were a little farfetched.

The premise: "S1m0ne" is a digitally created "actress" who is inserted into a movie to replace the tempermental lead actress who walked off the set. S1m0ne becomes Hollywood's latest sensation, which is funny because no one realizes that she isn't a real person.

The movie has some very funny scenes as well as a whole lot of satire. I thought the acting was good, and I enjoyed the story. I thought the ending of this movie was a little disappointing, but I am not sure what would have made a better alternative ending. I think the writer kind of wrote himself into a corner with this movie, and the ending he came up with was probably the easiest solution of all possibilities.

Overall I think the movie is definitely worth watching!

I liked it a lot. Al Pacino is great as usual. It's a fresh concept to the average story. I liked the idea that pompous and difficult actors can be replaced by technology. This was done in Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within. They used voice actors but everything else visually was done by CG. There are some really funny situations in this film and Catherine Keener is good too. I originally saw this film on cable and liked it so much that I bought it on dvd.
