The Imitation Game - Movie Review

Rating: 10/10 (29 July 2017)

Since I was a child, I have love war films. Those ones were full of action, amazing battle sequences, and realistic visual effects that made that war, real. But when I saw The imitation game, I was surprised for how this movie It's about war, but doesn't have action in it.
Recently, I watched this movie again because I haven't seen it in a couple years, and this movie has got even better with the years that have passed. It's a masterpiece, but now let's talk about why The imitation game it's so good.
This movie It's about Alan Turing. A person really good at solving puzzles and also very good at math, has to decode Enigma. Enigma It's an unbreakable code that was made by the Nazis during WWII so they could communicate with each other and organize an attack. So the plot of this movie It's about how Alan Turing and his team decode this code to win the war. That's it, I mean there it's a lot to talk about the plot, but I won't tell you more about it because in my opinion that will be kind of spoiler territory.
Moving on to the filmmaking of this movie, first, it's very well directed. Morten Tyldum did such a good work directing this film, the way he cuts the scenes, the camera-work, the editing, It's looks fantastic and when I watch this movie makes me feel that I am in this time period. The script of this film it's so well made that this movie feels real, suspenseful, dramatic, and emotionally powerful. All this characters are so well realized that you look at them like they were real people trying to solve this situation and end this war that is killing everyone.
The performances are all great, Benedict Cumberbatch it's one of my favorites actors in the world and as Alan Turing was amazing. This is the best performance that I have seen from him in any movie or TV show. I love him as Doctor Strange and Sherlock Holmes but, if i have to choose one, I choose Alan Turing. Another one that shines it's Keira Knightley as Joan Clarke, great performance and it wasn't a surprise that she was nominated for best actress in a supporting role.
The imitation game it's a beautiful movie, is such a great and important achievement. This story should be known by anybody, really make yourself a favor and watch this movie.
