Not excellent but not terrible

Rating: 8/10 (29 December 2015)

I don't know in what amount this movie is historically inaccurate, as most of reviews claim, so I'm judging by what I can judge. For much time I thought this actually won the Oscar for best picture, then I realized it hadn't. (I have sometimes prejudices towards latter Oscar-winning films.)
The first thing I liked about it was the non-linear story-telling, partly similar to Christopher Nolan's movies. Other than that the story manged to be touching the way it was told, although it included the theme of homosexuality with which I'm not completely comfortable. In addition, it managed to be exciting, without any action. Definitely Benedict Cumberbatch performed greatly in the role of Alan Turing.
I might confront this movie's magnitude with "The king's speech". It's so similar in themes that it almost feels a sequel to said movie. To sum up, The Imitation Game isn't a really bad movie, but not a so-excellent movie. It's averagely good.
