- cumberbatch was good but he is starting to sound the same in all roles - have to see how truly versatile he can be.
- the movie was a bit too cute and dramatic and of course, all the scientists and mathematicians good looking in the traditional sense. reminded me of "a beautiful life"

there, his voice was distorted. i like him better than most other new actors but in this movie, he sounded just like sherlock.

you may want to watch "proof," featuring g. paltrov, a. hopkins, and j. gyllenhaal, if you haven't already done so. here's a well-written review of it:

Interestingly, Cumberbatch:

looks nothing like Turing:

the imitation game Alan-turing-273x300

Or Russell Crowe like John Nash for that matter:

the imitation game 628x471

not just turing, the whole gang of codebreakers looked nothing like the real people they were based on. i was wondering why this guy looked so familiar while watching the movie - just realized that it is allen leech from downton abbey.
