Allie F The story of Alan Turing and what others did at Bletchley Park is one that the world should know about. Of course, for cinematic purposes, the narrative heavily leans on a specific storyline that does take artistic license on the actual events that took place historically. The truth is that there were many heroes in the war, and there are still other untold stories of efforts just as valiant. That said, Cumberbatch and Knightly did a great job in conveying some of the complex feelings and emotions that arose from many difficult situations. Despite the departure from some historical details and facts, it's a well-made film. One I've watched multiple times since. It's heartbreaking what Turing had to undergo after what he helped do, and definitely a tear jerker for that reason. Great movie. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/22 Full Review TV D I really enjoyed this movie. What could have been a tedious subject -- codebreaking -- was dramatic and suspenseful. All of the actors were terrific and you really care about them, especially Benedict Cumberbatch's character. You admire his brilliance but sympathize with his difficulties relating to people. And the relationship between him and Keira Knightley is poignant. I really think this is an excellent film. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/26/25 Full Review r96 s 'The Imitation Game' is fascinating stuff. I watched 2001's 'Enigma' almost five years ago and do remember liking it, though I found it a bit too pedestrian (at least early on). This 2014 release does a greater job at telling the story of Alan Turing & Co. Firstly, this did a particularly great job in terms of casting. Benedict Cumberbatch (and Alex Lawther) are terrific as the aforementioned. Keira Knightley (fittingly with a character middle named Elisabeth), Matthew Goode, Charles Dance and Mark Strong are all excellent support. The WWII-centric plot makes for engrossing viewing, even if I'm sure it takes liberties as movies tend to do; which I'm fully fine with, for what it's worth. The pacing is particularly spot on, at no point was I uninterested in what I was seeing. The cast, of course, are a big reason for that fact. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/02/25 Full Review Sofia M The Imitation Game is a masterpiece that left me in tears. Alan Turing's brilliance and sacrifice are beautifully portrayed, reminding us of the unsung heroes who change history. It’s a powerful story of genius and courage and the actors did a fantastic job Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/27/25 Full Review Pip S Very good movie with a terrific Benedict.
