The Imitation Game (2014)

Prestige pictures can be entertaining while they're trying to be important or they can be tedious, also while they're trying to be important. Luckily a compelling story with great acting puts this in the former category.

The Imitation Game (2014)

Cumberbatch is excellent as Turing, but the film simplifies his character to a point that borders on offensive. But even if you ignore the historical inaccuracies, it simply emphasizes the wrong parts of his fascinating, yet tragic life. It's slick, but hollow where it counts.

Game is good, but it falls short of greatness, which is a shame. There's a lot being juggled and it just isn't plotted or pulled together in a satisfying way. Additionally, BC is melodramatic and actually a bit caricaturish.

While burdened with a few unnecessarily over dramatic scenes and a slightly awkward present/past mixed story the movie is still very well done and definitely something I'd recommend.

The Imitation Game (2014)

Undeniably solid but left me a little dissatisfied. It had some pacing issues and a sort of strange rhythm to it that kept me from really feeling like I got what I wanted out of this.
