What we have here is essentially "Maxine Headroom", a computer generated character serving as a media alter ego for someone in ratings or ticket-sale purgatory. In the case of "S1m0ne", it DEFINITELY helps the poor, sad sack character, played by Al "Too Intense For Words" Pacino, who here is untypically mellow for just about the entire picture. Pacino takes the unexpected present, (from an old colleague,) of "Simulation One" and turns her into the biggest cash cow since Mickey Mouse! Without anyone ever having seen her in the flesh, "S1m0ne" becomes as big as Julia Roberts and Sharon Stone put together in digitally edited movies. Everything she burps is considered sacred and profound and Pacino even manages to stage a holographic concert, which probably satisfies the virtual guessers in the cast to some degree. However, two reporters are obsessed with both S1m0ne and her Paul Winchell, (Pacino's character Viktor Taransky,) and after Viktor gets sick and tired of his creation getting all the kudos while all he does is speak through her, and he decides to kill off S1m0ne, these two try and expose him as a murderer. I'm not going to ruin the ending for you, but suffice it to say that it's a good thing that Taransky took time out to have a family on his way through Hollywood! Done before, and maybe done a little better, but not bad, and a DEFINITE change of pace for Pacino.
