The jury is still out on this one… because I could not get my Blu-ray copy to play! 😾😿🐈‍⬛

My husband wanted me to see this, so we watched it the other day. While I worried that I would be bored, I was wrong! It was amazing, and I learned so much. Cumberbatch is an amazing Alan Turing.

Cumberbatch is exceptional as Turing

After watching this outstanding historical biopic, I discovered that there are many details that are inaccurate, compared to Turing's real life. I don't want to spoil the ending for anyone, but that's the part that I wish they had made…

An eye-opening story well-told about the challenge the codebreakers faced in WWII. The brilliance of the minds of the real people who brought their expertise to the table is not likely to ever be matched again. One can only hope that the…

Surely the director's name is Moron Tedium!

Ugh, what an irritating film. The director, Moron Tyldum, treats his audience as if they are 6 year olds. Cumberbach and Knightlley fiercely attempt to create infantile characters spouting dime store physics. The most irritating thing in…

I thought it was a great movie. It was a shame how bad someone who is different is treated by society.

This is one of my absolute favorite movies. Benedict Cumberbatch gives a very moving performance as Alan Turing, mathematician and Bletchley Park codebreaker. From beginning to end this film is brilliant and beautiful, and I even love the…

This is an excellent movie based on true events (with a few liberties taken of course). In the end I wondered how I had not heard of any of this in any of my history classes. What a great movie. Prior reviews will give you the details,…

The Enigma machine helped the German soldiers communicate strategic information in WWII. Initially, this movie deals with Alan Turing decoding the German Enigma machine so hat Britain can win the war. The movie presented several…

The Imitation Game is a phenomenal film! This biopic tells the story of Alan Turning, a British cryptanalyst who decoded the Nazi Enigma machine and helped end World War II. The movie switches between years seamlessly, tying everything…

Brilliant movie. Nominated for 8 Academy Awards. Including Best actor, best supporting actress and best score (Alexandre Desplat). I really liked the story. Alan went to bat for the rediculously intelligent woman who was pretty much in the…

Like with Jurassic Park - you have to know that this is simplification and not quite historically correct movie - so better check even on Wikipedia "The Imitation Game" to figure out what was different. It's plentiful of items. From…

a sometimes overwrought account of an extraordinary, however complex, man

One of the most heartbreaking films made about a mathematician who was instrumental to defeating the Nazi war machine and was the father of modern computers. A well acted and brilliant movie.

What a powerful, moving, informative, necessary movie. The actors were amazing, and the story was quite heartbreaking.

Wow, that was AMAZING! Benedict Cumberbatch and Keira Knightley where phenomenal. Very exciting and educational at the same time since Alan Turing is a real person during world war 2. These were not one of those boring cheesy biographical…

I'm usually not a fan of biographical dramas but this one was great! Had to turn on the subtitles:). Was not very familiar with the story before watching - apparently not historically accurate but what Hollywood movie is? Good acting,…

Any good movie is bound to look great these days because the norm is so abysmal. Certainly this is a personal peak for Benedict Cumberbatch, who normally gets raves by simply scowling, looking intense. It is a fascinating story, but one…
