The Imitation Game Review: Calculative and Complex

World War II is no stranger to the world of film. This war has been played out time and again in the world of cinema. With this point in time being popular on the silver screen, the best thing filmmakers can do is adapt new events for to give WWII a different perspective. The latest film has just done that. We see many movies about the war itself, but we rarely see films about events that took place behind the scenes of WWII; and that is what The Imitation Game is all about. The Imitation Game is about the work of Alan Turing and his machine that help break the German System known as The Enigma Code. For decades, Turing's work during the war remained a mystery until the Queen granted Turing a royal pardon as well as letting information on Alan Turing be revealed. From the biography by Andrew Hodges this film has hit theaters and it has been well received by critics everywhere. However,  impressing this Film Adventurer is another matter entirely, so does this historical thriller a film worth seeing?
