*** Mild Spoilers, but read it anyway because you do NOT want to see this film ***
Please let me state that I adore Al Pacino, but even he was not enough to save this disaster of a film. The whole movie is about a computer-generated actress, so can someone PLEASE tell me why the filmmakers appeared to have no one on their staff who knew anything about computers!? When is that last time that any of you saw a 5 ¼ inch Floppy Disk, let alone had a computer that used one!? How could `S1M0NE' react to Al Pacino's bodily movements when there was no VR equipment, and no camera or scanner or any other way for the computer to have any clue WHAT he was doing? How could Al Pacino's daughter `reverse' a virus on the computer and `bring back' S1M0NE when Al Pacino's character took out the Hard Drive!? The lack of technological accuracy in this movie (that was based on technology) was so appalling, that personally, it ruined the entire movie for me. Additionally, the plot holes were large enough to fit the entire cast of The Matrix through! How can someone be accused of murder when there is no body? How can one person who claims to know nothing about computers completely edit a film with a computer generated actress when he has no new footage, no sound editor, and another actress already present in the movie? There are so many `Yeah Right' moments in this film that it made my head spin. I am not a computer genius nor a filmmaker, but I know enough about both to understand that this movie was more than insulting to anyone who likes to think upon occasion. Please save your time and money on this piece of trash. If you like Pacino, then watch Devil's Advocate, Scarface, any Godfather movie, Scent of a Woman, or any of his other fine works again. If you want a brainless movie with a cute woman in it, then go ahead ... but don't expect anything more than that or you will be sorely disappointed. I certainly was. 2 of 10
