It's all about Turing and Benedict, nothing else.

Rating: 8/10 (23 January 2015)

The Imitation Game is a good old drama movie so I liked it, not much you get these days for your drama-craving so glad it came out. There is not much to talk about the movie, it's pretty straight forward and of course a good watch, so go for it definitely. The movie has three parallels: pre world war II, world war II and post the same. The scientist's role in, and his discovery during the world war is the main plot, pre world war scenes certainly adds beauty to it whereas post world war story feels rather intrusive. Even the world war footages, most of them come across a little difficult to blend with the main story and you know it is to fill time and for the feel of world war II, well probably because the fine performance by Benedict Cumberbatch makes you feel disturbed by everything else. What a fine performance by Benedict, the actor knows his character and plays it well throughout the movie. He smiles/angers/cries/walks/runs the way his character should. So yeah everything is good. Keira looked pretty with some flesh on her cheeks which she always needed. A good movie, go and watch!
But there is one more thing which makes it a more than just a movie, it's a story of a great scientist, a mathematician and how he falls towards the end of his life. The singularity of his passion and his euphoria towards his work which holds true for any scientist, these movies always get to me. The last 20 minutes of the movie fill you with this immense sorrow you feel for Late Mr Alan Turing, his great mind and work, and for what he got in return. It all becomes just too sad. So yeah watch it :)
