I didn't plan to write a comment, but it seems that only people who liked this movie wrote good comments. So I had to write a bad one.
The concept is good, in the future, there probably will be plenty computer generated actors in movies. However, it needs lots of polish. The mentality of this movie is just immature, as if it was done by a high school graduate who has no experience of how real world works.
Some things are just not logical. How can Simone actually have a concert, who provided her with all those songs that she has to perform? The computer can produce her voice, can the computer actually sings in her voice? And if people check out her background, they can easily find those people who went to the same school with her, etc. It would be so easy to find out if she is real or not. The "director's daughter" just doesn't look right for her part, she doesn't look like a person who actually knows something about the computers. In the end, when the "director" took out all the computer hard disks, how was she able to actually bring the computer back without the hard disk?
Even though it has a few familiar actors in this movie, this whole movie is simply not realistic. The dead guy only gave the "director" a hard disk, how was he able to get that special keyboard with all those words on them? In one scene, "director Taransky" even used a big plastic computer disk which everyone stopped using since 1990's. This movie director is out of touch with the real world here. It has many simple minded, predictable scenes, such as in the "movie 'I am pig'", Simone actually had to eat with pigs. come on, there are many ways to show it. It didn't have to be so predicable.
Overall, the good actors in this movie saved this show. So it is at least still watchable. Maybe fifty years later, when someone sees this film, s/he will be surprised about how accurate this film was able to predict the future.
