That being said, I have to stay I was blown away by the movie in itself and the sheer brilliance of Cumberbatch's performance which will not be the first time..
The movie not only includes a brilliant performance but the script and the story line is captivating from beginning till end making it totally worth to be nominated for four academy awards this year which are best picture, best supporting actress for Keira Knightley, best directing, and best actor for the ever so deserving Cumberbatch to which I would be so very disappointed if he did not snag that baby home.

As far as the Critical response goes, Another incident where the Critics and I agree. *I really ought to have my temperature checked*

The film has received positive reviews, with critics particularly lauding Cumberbatch's lead performance as Turing.

Rotten Tomatoes sampled 216 critics and judged 90% of the reviews positive with an average rating of 7.7/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "With an outstanding starring performance from Benedict Cumberbatch illuminating its fact-based story, The Imitation Game serves as an eminently well-made entry in the 'prestige biopic' genre."

On Metacritic, the film has a score of 72 out of 100, based on 47 critics, indicating "generally favourable reviews".The film received a grade of "A+" from market-research firm CinemaScore and was included in both the National Board of Review's and American Film Institute's "Top 10 Films of 2014".

If you have not watch it already, you really have to, even if it did not win the Oscars this year.. This movie is really NOT something you should miss..

I watched this movie for two reasons:
1) Benedict Cumberbatch
2) The sheer number of times it was mentioned in my Foundations in CS class

It surpassed all expectations.

I rarely watch movies in theatres, unless it's a special movie. Alan Turing is one of the founders of my field of work (computing and information systems). So, I made it a point to watch this in the Theatre way before its digital release. Since then, I've watched this movie so many times, I've lost count. It always leaves me emotional. Gay or not, he deserved a better life and much more respect from the British government than what was given to him after the war.

An incredible movie, truly. I cried in the end 😭. Though clearly dramatized for the silver screen, Alan Turing's life was incredible and I hope he's at peace.
