REVIEWS Review by Aymee Raemund (posted on 10-Feb-2005) S1m0ne is an underestimated masterpiece. Led by the king, Al Pacino, this movie is a screenplay of futurism and technology, but still a tale of the traditional romantic fling story.
For those who are not technically interested: It is a futuristic story teller, and a classic; it stems off Frankenstein, (Mary Shelley) as the protagonist desroys his creation and himself in pursuit of simplicity. It is also eye candy for those male viewers, and, of course, eye candy for those female viewers; Pacino plays a part like no other, though he plays it just as incredibly and powerfully as any other. This movie is a must-see; Pacino owns the screen in a creative and unique story that can teach both the old and young.
