I really enjoyed this movie. What could have been a tedious subject -- codebreaking -- was dramatic and suspenseful. All of the actors were terrific and you really care about them, especially Benedict Cumberbatch's character. You admire his brilliance but sympathize with his difficulties relating to people. And the relationship between him and Keira Knightley is poignant. I really think this is an excellent film.

'The Imitation Game' is fascinating stuff. I watched 2001's 'Enigma' almost five years ago and do remember liking it, though I found it a bit too pedestrian (at least early on). This 2014 release does a greater job at telling the story of Alan Turing & Co. Firstly, this did a particularly great job in terms of casting. Benedict Cumberbatch (and Alex Lawther) are terrific as the aforementioned. Keira Knightley (fittingly with a character middle named Elisabeth), Matthew Goode, Charles Dance and Mark Strong are all excellent support. The WWII-centric plot makes for engrossing viewing, even if I'm sure it takes liberties as movies tend to do; which I'm fully fine with, for what it's worth. The pacing is particularly spot on, at no point was I uninterested in what I was seeing. The cast, of course, are a big reason for that fact.

The Imitation Game is a masterpiece that left me in tears. Alan Turing's brilliance and sacrifice are beautifully portrayed, reminding us of the unsung heroes who change history. It’s a powerful story of genius and courage and the actors did a fantastic job

Very good movie with a terrific Benedict.

Outstanding performances from everyone, but Cumberbatch especially.

O melhor filme da minha vida, já devo tê-lo assistido uma dezena de vezes! Retrato e homenagem a história de um grande homem que deverá sempre ser lembrado, genialidade! Cumberbatch está perfeito em sua atuação!

Benedict Cumberbatch is proves himself as one of the best actor in hollywood While we watch him as Sherlock, Doctor Strange, Dragon and as khan in star trek but in this film he portrays as Alan Turing and he nailed it.... This is why people has huge fanbase for Benedict Cumberbatch all over the world

This is not a genre that usually interests me but Benedict Cumberatch was the lead so I thought I’d at least watch the first 10 minutes…….I was hooked! Being based on a true story doesn’t usually make it a must watch film but this one is. The way this was told, the acting and the story itself just keeps you glued to the screen……honestly it’s Cumberbatch nailing it that makes this a film you really shouldn’t miss

The Imitation Game is a great biopic period piece that is definitely entertaining from beginning to end. Great acting, well developed story that has a lot of historical truth to it but also some inaccuracies. If you can overlook that, this is definitely worth a watch.

A great story wirth telling, a time in history turning the tides of war told through a great cinematic experience.

it's like a mix of 4 stars and 5 stars edit: nvm it's a 5 now

Great movie. Well worth a watch.

Titled after a scholarly paper written by the main character, The Imitation Game is a World War II story about the breaking of the German codes. And it's very good.

Captivating plot and great acting

Even Turing (Cumberbatch) couldn't decode the complexity of existing in an age that opposed him. Nonetheless, he rose above for the sake of mankind and defeated an evil empire. In the future, his own country, would come to declare him free of evils done towards him so that mankind might, in the end, cherish the code behind the machine.

Nice movie, acting well done. BENEDICK CUMBERBACH SHOULD WIN AN OSCAR.

In the movie "The Imitation Game" directed by Morten Tyldum, he brings in a group of actors such as Benedict Cumberbatch, Keira Knightley, and Mark Strong. He tells a the story of a group of mathematicians to crack a code to help stop the Nazi's An aspect that really stood out to me was the acting by Benedict Cumberbatch. He played such an amazing role. A mathematicians who has been ahead of his class from a young age, struggled with the fact that he was a homosexual and just never being accepted by his peers. He showed such strong emotions when portraying the character. To the way his character spoke and moved. I personally liked this film. At first it didn't peak my interest but once I started the film i was immediately drawn in. It was a very good movie. Good overall story, I would suggest this film to younger viewers. It shows a character who has been doubted his whole life and he was able to help fight against the war against the Nazi's.

The movie "The Imitation Game" (2014) by Stewart Menzies is a movie about an Alan Turning who solves and breaks the code. The star for the movie is Benedict Cumberbatch (Alan Turning). The movie takes place in Manchester, England. The genres of this movie are war and action. The part that stood out to me was about Alan Turning's childhood. As for the scene, it was at the boarding school and loved one of his classmates, Christopher. Christopher had saved Turning when he got bullied by others and got him to start like puzzles. At school, Turning passes cryptic messages to Christopher, and he decodes them. I would recommend this movie to young teenagers because this movie shows war and action. If I would rate this movie out of 5 stars, I would give it a 4 out of 5 stars. The movie itself is really great, but the story is a little confusing.

"The Imitation Game" was directed by Morten Tyldum in 2014 starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Keira Knightley. In the main story line, set in 1939 to 1945, in Manchester, England, the movie revolves around efforts to stop Hitler. In this historical drama, a group of the greatest minds in England are hired secretly to break the Nazi code Enigma. Although I enjoyed the acting in this movie, I feel as though the feminist struggles of Kiera Knightley's character, Joan Clarke, could have been made more apparent. Additionally, I believe the gay narrative could have been stronger in the film as well. Overall, the acting and especially directing particularly stood out to me in the movie as well done. In summary, I think "The Imitation Game" serves as a great example of what a historical drama should be. Although I feel the subplots could have been stronger, I think all young adults should watch this movie. This is due to the acting quality and historical content. "The Imitation Game" earns a 4/5 stars for its superb quality and great directing.

Wonderful directing and acting, so well put together in all aspects. Obviously they had to shorten the complexity and lengths of the solution to Enigma for the sake of the movie, and it worked because the pacing and script didn't feel too slow or rushed. The portrayal of Turing here is also well done (although I'm not sure how accurate, but movie-wise he has a lot of depth and was interesting to follow). I rarely see my mom cry, so to see her do so at the end means they really have showcased his misfortunes well. It honestly did hurt so much to see how poorly Turing was treated due to his personal differences, with his contributions to the war kept secret for so long, despite being one of the greatest mathematicians and the founding father of theoretical computer science.
