Wow!! This movie was fantastic.

The coolest thing about this film is how it embodies the quest to figure it out. It could be navigating through Boston to Cambridge to find a renowned ice cream shop or navigating through those IKEA directions to get your table upright and level. Why do we get so excited for a scavenger hunt when we could maybe just win a t-shirt? We simply love to figure things out.

Therefore, it is no surprise that we root for Alan Turing when such a profound task as breaking the ENIGMA code is placed before him. We feel every disappointment on the way to triumph. The idea is very relatable even though we aren’t math geniuses with the weight of World War II on our heads.

Cumberbatch and Knightley are perfect in their roles. The overall scope of this movie is incredible. I wanted to sit in the theater and watch it again, after I refilled my popcorn of course.

I happily give The Imitation Game 4.75 napkins out of 5.
