An Imitation of a good movie

Rating: 1/10 (23 May 2015)

The Imitation Game had a buzz around it like few other movies. With the culture in Hollywood it is understandable. The acting is first class by all the actors but the movie itself is very good at best, for one simple reason, it is not that entertaining. Halfway into the movie you will realize what the Hollywood buzz was all about. Fitting the Hollywood agenda perfectly, the movie got rave reviews, but the fact is on it's own , the plot is slow, plodding and it turns very preachy at the end. If the heroine was just a plain, old, normal, guy, not only would this movie have gotten no notoriety, it would not have even been made.
The film is listed as a "thriller". That is one of the biggest misnomers in history. It is slow and boring. The ending is so preachy, I honestly expected a national anthem of sorts to be played at the film's end. That an agenda filled anthem has not been created is a mystery. Joan Baez, Helen Reddy or The Cure I am sure would have a song worthy of this movie's ending.
Almost half of the people who watch this film will like it. Even the ones who like it though will not watch and re-watch this film, it is not an enjoyable movie like Gone With the Wind or Casablanca, or My Cousin Vinny, where you want to see the film over and over. The other half of the people who watch this movie will wonder , what office do I apply to in order to, "get these two hours of my life back".
