Simon

About This Movie

So, 'Simon' is this quirky blend of comedy and science fiction that has a certain offbeat charm. The pacing is a bit uneven—like it takes its time, but in a way that lets the absurdity of the situation sink in. You’ve got these scientists trying to brainwash a psychology professor into thinking he’s from another planet, and there’s this absurd humor that runs throughout. The practical effects aren’t groundbreaking, but they add to that unique feel of late '70s, early '80s sci-fi, sort of charming in their own right. Performances are, well, pretty amusing—especially the way they navigate the increasingly bizarre scenario. It’s distinctive for sure, not your typical comedy or sci-fi flick of the era.
