It looked well-done and it was

Rating: 8/10 (5 May 2019)

The Imitation Game is a great film. It is set very well with good visuals to depict the time period. The soundtrack is phenomenal, all of the music is great and fits the theme. The way the movie moves in time is smooth and really adds another layer to the story. When watching, I noticed those things but more than those the two things that stood out to me were as follows. The writing, the writing is extremely well done and keeps you engaged and wondering throughout. This writing evel works well in the form of narration which most films tend to stay away from because they fear they will do it poorly (unlike this one). This leads into the other thing being the man himself Benedict Cumberbatch. The cast is good and well acted; Benedict steals the show (as he should). He absolutely accels at playing an anti-social awkward super genius, similar to his role of Sherlock in the hit show 'Sherlock'. However what is different from his role in Sherlock is how he portrays himself here. He has crafted the perfect character here that feels very far off from Benedict himself. Beautiful acting and writing overall (and the cinematography is pretty good too).
