Excellent acting from a top tier of British actors and especially Cumberbatch. Great dialogue and story, great character interactions, and the time-jumping structure works out well to provide the right information at the right time without being confusing. My only real complaint is that the the war scenes felt a bit out of place at times, but did remind us of what is at stake. Definitely a must-see for any fan of intelligent movies.… Expand

For all the ideology, democracy vs tyranny, families vs order and freedom vs dictatorship, I learnt that the war, indeed perhaps the fate of Britain came down to a few nerds in the south of England. While this film lacked the war-laden drama of say 'Munich' or the sheer compelling biographical odyssey of 'The Theory of Everything' this is in my opinion, an intelligent and supposeldly genuine portrayal of Turing ans his team's struggles.
While the Oscar nomination might've been a little far fetched, Cumberbatch performs his role with both an uncanny authority and a considered portrayal of the erratic 'tortured genius' stereotype. His homosexuality adds a lot to the intrigue without distracting the audience from the narrative of the war. A simple yet beautiful setting, subtle yet flowing soundtrack comparable with 'A Beautiful Mind.'
Perhaps the faithful portrayal of events prevented this film from scaling more dramatic or compelling heights, but I would certainly recommend this to any history or biographical film buffs… Expand

The depiction of the events in World War II is really accurate, and the acting is amazing. It's very, very heartbreaking, but the movie is made so that you want to keep watching it. Of course, it's not a movie for everyone. Despite it being about World War II, there's hardly any violence, so action movie fans probably won't like it. People who can't handle sad movies should steer clear of this movie, as the story is literally the saddest I've ever seen. Also, comedy folks, this isn't your movie. Anyone else, however, should see this movie and applaud Benedict Cumberbatch's superb performance as the troubled math teacher Alan Turing.

Likewise his story is important and deserves to be told rather than forgotten. Had high hopes for 'The Imitation Game', after hearing so many good things about it, and it ended up being one of my favourite films of 2014.

That 'The Imitation Game' is historically inaccurate and has distortions didn't offend me as much as some reviewers, biographical dramas are notorious for this so it's come to be expected by me (not that that is meant to be an excuse). All that was wanted was a film that made me think, moved me, was well made and well acted. 'The Imitation Game' was all those things and more.

It isn't perfect, the political elements are on the preachy side and there are a few strands that could have gone into more detail, Turing's sexuality should have gotten into more depth than it was.

However, 'The Imitation Game' is exceptionally well made. It's immaculately photographed and has some of the best production design of its best, especially in the costumes. The direction allows the film to be absorbing, while the music score is often hauntingly beautiful and never intrusive.

In terms of the script, 'The Imitation Game' does a wonderful job in provoking thought and providing emotional impact and nuances and fleshes the characters out with remarkable complexity. What could have been potentially dry treatment of the subject matter turned out to be fascinating, thrilling and very moving.

Benedict Cumberbatch gives his best performance of a very solid career, an outstanding portrayal that won't be forgotten for years to come. Keira Knightley is a sympathetic confidante and Charles Dance is excellent as always as his superior. The supporting cast are without complaint.

Overall, wonderful film and its acclaim is a long way from an enigma. 9/10 Bethany Cox… Expand

My wife and I visited Bletchley Park a few years back and I've read a lot of the history of the codebreakers but I'm certainly not an expert. Or even a pedant (I hope).

Trouble with these kinda historical biopics is that they become the received version for history. Does that matter? Maybe. Even the author of the book from which it is based had some significant quibbles with the storyline. Does Turing have to be such as ass in this version? Was he really so painful in real life?

No mention of Tommy Flowers - the man who really built the Colossus machine?

It should make a great mini series - or just add another 20 minutes to fill in the details. Like one professional critic said: a good movie that should have been great.

One of the howlers - The real Alan Turing was not investigated for being a possible Soviet spy. The real story of breaking the Enigma code and Ultra, the keeping of the secret, is interesting enough without rewriting history. Sure I get it, take some liberties to make it filmatic but c'mon guys. This doesn't feel RIGHT.

Why call it "Christopher" when in real life it was the "bombe". From HistoryVSHollywood: "Turing didn't come up with the design for the improved Bombe machine on his own. Gordon Welchman, a mathematician who is not mentioned in the film, collaborated with Turing. -Alan Turing: The Enigma"… Expand

It is an intriguing story, and centers on a genius mathematician trying to decipher German encrypted battle codes which could effectively turn the war in favor of the British and the Allies.

The good parts of this movie are the "based on real events" story, and the philosophical side of human relationships which leaves you with something to think about, and was good for a single viewing. The weakness is that the storyline continually tries to propel itself by inserting urgency at the expense of the intellect of the movie, and at times the genius characters seem like they should have known something that just dawns of them.
Also the relationships seemed unnatural as if they wanted to create emotional conflict but not have it evident in the next scene. These weaknesses make an otherwise smart movie feel a little dumbed down.

The human side of the story could be along the lines of other movies like Good Will Hunting, A Beautiful Mind, Social Network, Pollock etc..
This one is worth a watch but not as satisfying or thrilling as hoped based upon the intriguing setup and the great true story.… Expand

WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE: It could take a leaf out of 'The Theory of Everything's' book and include more plot to keep audiences engaged and rooting for the character, as opposed to here where we empathise, but don't wish for the breaking of the enigma code or his relationship to succeed because interest is lost slightly. 
VERDICT: It's this simple plot and constant technical jargon that makes this film feel a little dissapointing, but it's the acting and character development that earn it its good rating.… Expand

This film is based on the life of Alan Turing, the father of the modern computer. He is a truly remarkable character, responsible for the era of technology in which we live and one of the most brilliant people of the 20th century. This film focuses mainly on Turing's effort, during the Second World War, to decipher the secret codes of German military communications, hitherto undecipherable. The film, however, also addresses the issue surrounding Turing's homosexuality.

As it was a period film based on a book, I was already expecting some mishaps to the true story, and it was unsurprisingly that I read some reviews where it was mentioned. But I am not the best person to evaluate this because I do not know the figure of Alan Turing in detail, nor did I dedicate myself to read that book to see if it shares the same flaws. But yes, I admit such possibilities and, given that it is a period film based on a true story, this is something that I personally penalize. I am one of those people who understand that, in these cases, freedom of creation must be well demarcated. Another thing I would like to understand better is whether the book, like the film, takes Turing's suicide for granted, since there were serious doubts about it at the time. Aside from these reservations, I had no major problems with the script that, without giving too much detail, sweeps the scientist's life very close to death, making use of the flashback to visit and present situations from the past.

Morten Tyldum ensures effective and competent management. He is a director I didn't know yet and who has been circulating more on television, but he did a good job. Benedict Cumberbatch, whom I only remembered seeing play secondary roles and the villain of "Star Trek Into Darkness", had his opportunity to show value and did not disappoint. He was devastating in the main role, complex and psychologically challenging character. The work paid off well, and although I haven't seen many of the films he came in after this one, seeing his filmography here on the website is enough to see how much his career has benefited and grown. Next to her is Keira Knightley, a veteran of period films, with an already solid career. Rory Kinnear, Matthew Goode and Charles Dance also did a good job.

Technically, there is little to say about this film. The filming and photography work was well done but the exquisite editing and post-production effort, with all those flashbacks, stands out particularly. The soundtrack, by Alexandre Desplat, is to be congratulated and remains a little in the ear after the film ends. The sets and costumes are excellent and I think they are faithful enough to the period portrayed.

Oscar winner (Best Adapted Screenplay) was nominated for Best Film, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director, Best Edition, Best Soundtrack and Best Production Design. Not being a perfect film, I think it was relatively close to that.… Expand

Espectacular biopic de Alan Turing, el padre de los computadores modernos, famoso por romper el Código Enigma y facilitar enormemente a los Aliados la victoria en la II Guerra Mundial. Interpretaciones sobresalientes de todo el reparto (especialmente Cumberbatch, uno de los mejores actores contemporáneos), una historia conmovedora en la que a veces no solo las máquinas tienen que cifrar sus secretos más íntimos, sino también las personas, una banda sonora magistral de Desplat que brilla en cada minuto que suena y una fotografía deslumbrante. Como punto negativo, el film toma a mitad de su duración un rumbo a la crítica social y política demasiado exagerado dejando en cierto modo de lado todo lo construido previamente. No me ha molestado, pero se ha sentido un poco forzado. Imprescindible. Una de las mejores películas de 2014.… Expand

I loved it; for a movie created in 2014 as well as conceptualized because the director simply wanted to teach the millions of average joes the rich history, amazing team and awesome creations made this film even better. In fact, in Mortem Tyldum's own words: "I've always loved history, and I was actually shocked by how little I actually knew. I was amazed this wasn't common knowledge. Why wasn't he on the front covers of my history books? He's one of the great thinkers of the last century, and he was sort of pushed into the shadows. The importance of making this movie and spreading the legacy of this man becomes so big.”

Plus, the movie itself reflected and was a near 100% accurate description of the actual event, representing nearly perfectly how it all went down, to the point where this movie should be shown and taught to all schools throughout America, because it also shows as a "side note" the problems and obstacles homosexuals faced back in the 1950s, which further accentuates the movie's accurate portrayal of Alan Turing. His soon-to-be wife, Joan Clarke, didn't care he was gay, and still loved him, spicing the emotions in the movie to a whole new universe, which, for me, was amazing.… Expand

The film, which is set in the 1930s and beyond, has an "Oscar bait" feel to it but manages to tell the story of a complex man who struggles to fit in with society. Cumberbatch does a great job of portraying Turing's brilliance, failures, persistence and cerebralness, while the supporting cast of Keira Knightley and Matthew Goode complement him well. Although the film may not be the most thrilling story, it stands out for its uniqueness compared to many other films that have come out since its release.

Aunque la película puede no ser la historia más emocionante, se destaca por su singularidad en comparación con muchas otras películas que han salido desde su estreno.… Expand
