Synopsis

Spoiler shield

Faye attempts to replace her newly deceased husband, Evan, with an android simulant (SIM). Although SIM Evan appears like human Evan in every way, Faye does not feel the same love for SIM Evan as it does for her. SIM Evan tries to win Faye back while at the same time being on-the-run from a government agent chasing down SIMs who have become “conscious” and could potentially be a threat to humankind.

Original score by Martin Macphail. Worth a dedicated listen after — most great films lose half their impact without the score.

Editor Orlee Buium shaped the rhythm. On an edit-heavy film, the editor does more to control your pulse than the director.

As far as entertainment goes, this is at best mediocre, having said that, I am sure some will find it entertaining and even thought provoking in this world of AI .. I watched this movie for entertainment purposes only and the 90+ minutes were not wasted, because I didn't take it too seriously. ⭐⭐⭐
