Hello Beautiful Sherlockians!

So, as all of you should know, Benedict Cumberbatch is the main actor of the BBC version of Sherlock.

But another great movie made by him is called "The Imitation Game". Today, I'm presenting to you some of best reviews of this film! So, enjoy!

:one: ☞Metacritic☜ :one:

During the winter of 1952, British authorities entered the home of mathematician, cryptanalyst and war hero Alan Turing (Benedict Cumberbatch) to investigate a reported burglary. They instead ended up arresting Turing himself on charges of ‘gross indecency’, an accusation that would lead to his devastating conviction for the criminal offense of homosexuality – little did officials know, they were actually incriminating the pioneer of modern-day computing. Famously leading a motley group of scholars, linguists, chess champions and intelligence officers, he was credited with cracking the so-called unbreakable codes of 's World War II Enigma machine.

The Imitation Game is a film about a human calculator which feels... a little too calculated. It's not that Alan Turing's life isn't teeming with interest or cinematic possibilities. And a hard-working, hard-thinking Benedict Cumberbatch does everything that this role, as scripted, could possibly demand of him. Somehow, though, this diligent mid-century biopic, with its cookie-cutter screenwriting and lacquered, nominate-me-for-everything sheen, manages to feel like a series of stories we've heard before, following the familiar contours of other films as if with tracing paper.

Without question, Cumberbatch is up to the task of bringing to life a complicated, brilliant man. Turing is multi-dimensional, his emotional depths layered. He is, by far, the best part of this enjoyable, if flawed, film. As entertainment, The Imitation Game has loads to recommend it: It's paced well, features strong performances from the ensemble, and does a fine enough job of explaining the ideas behind cryptology

My Opinions:

In my opinion, this is a great movie starring great actors. As you've already read above, this movie is about Alan Turing and how he broke enigma. It's a very enjoyable film to watch, that will definitely not make you bored. With a few touching moments, and with the important role Benedict Cumberbatch was given, it definitely turns into a movie that everyone should watch, and I'd give it :star: :star: :star: :star: stars out of :star: :star: :star: :star: :star: .
