Simone
Directed by Andrew Niccol
Viktor Taransky är en föredetting i filmbranschen. Inte blir det bättre när hans planerade comeback går i stöpet då stjärnan Nicola Anders ger sig av mitt under arbetet med hans nya film. Men med hjälp av datageniet Hank Aleno kläcks en idé: skapa en helt digitalt genererad stjärna som får alla att tro att hon finns i verkligheten!
Simone Ratings & Reviews
- Monkey See! Monkey Review!!19 oktober 2025TLDR -> Watching S1mOne today feels like opening a time capsule and finding a warning label we all ignored. Good Watch!! Back in the early 2000s, the idea of using artificial intelligence to create a virtual celebrity was pure sci-fi—quirky, implausible, and just futuristic enough to make you smirk. Fast forward 25 years, and we’re living it. Deepfakes, AI influencers, algorithm-generated pop stars… reality is now a customizable setting. The film’s central premise—that a computer-generated actress could captivate the world—is no longer fiction, it’s Tuesday. We glamorize pixels, follow avatars, and wouldn’t blink if our favorite star turned out to be a well-trained neural net with a killer PR team. Al Pacino, of all people, plays the desperate director behind the digital diva. And somehow, it works. Watching him navigate the absurdity of fame, illusion, and tech-induced chaos is oddly satisfying—like watching Shakespeare do a TikTok dance and somehow nail it. Sure, the movie has its flaws. It’s campy, uneven, and occasionally feels like it’s trying to explain the internet to your grandparents. But judged by the tech landscape of its time, it was disturbingly ahead of the curve. The only thing it didn’t do was let the virtual character gain sentience—which, let’s be honest, might’ve turned it into Ex Machina with better lighting. In the end, S1mOne is less a movie and more a mirror held up to our digital delusions. It’s weird, prophetic, and worth watching—especially if you enjoy sci-fi that accidentally predicted your social media habits.
