I have just been to see this; 2 weeks ago I had the choice of this or Turner, chose Turner. Imitation Game is far superior IMO. Script derived and simplified from the fine biography by Andrew Hodge and, apart from 3 actors, the cast was largely new to me. It is a gripping story, well told and very well acted. Benedict Cumberbatch is mesmerising, as is Alex Lawther, who portrays Turing as a schoolboy. He may turn out to be the next Cumberbatch! Well worth the price a ticket and two hours of one's time.
