Unfortunately, the only reason why he was never given the recognition he deserved until now was because he was gay. Poor guy saved the world but was forced into suicide because people did not approve.

He's not just a key in WWII. No one knows this outside of the field, but he is actually the father of computer science

Benedict Cumberpatch is great at anything though, Smaug, Kahn, Sherlock, he's great

I liked the movie, but the historical accuracy is sacrificed for dramatic convenience. He was not a loner. He was well-liked by his team. His boss was not screaming at him, threatening to pull his funding.

I didn't know who Alan turning was before I watched the movie 2 months ago and Tbh I loved it .I became a little to obsessed with Alan I am reading the book that actually inspired the movie and I love it so far have to be honest everybody should know Alan !!

Not to be "that guy", but Turing didn't build the Machine. That's an artistic liberty the director took for the movie. Some guy had originally build the machine, but Egnigma was rebuild as an aftermath of that, leaving it useless. Turing was actually hired to rebuild the machine. So your statement about him being "the first" is somewhat not correct. I loved the movie though, and I absolutely don't mind when directors change the story to make a better movie for it, which I believe was the case of The Imitation Game, in my top 10 too. Amazing movie.

This is a fantastic movie. Everyone should know who Alan Turing is and what he achieved. I just love the idea of Hitler's war machine being undone by a socially awkward mathematician. And what happened at the end of the movie, no spoilers but man, powerful stuff.

sherlock season 3 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

computers were named after that dude and they used to be called Turin machines. fun fact of the day! (for you people who haven't seen this masterpiece)

Watched it last night on Netflix. I fucking loved it. Every single second. I need to buy this on blu ray.

Tywin Lannister was also awsome in this movie.

He bit an apple laced with cyanide to commit suicide, which is where the apple logo comes from...reportedly.

Don't know if it's because of spoilers, but u didn't mention the fact that he was homosexual

Finally! (Totally agree with you about the marketing/release BS.) Personally, I was prepared to be grief-stricken and outraged and awestruck by this film because I was aware of Turing’s story before I saw The Imitation Game. What I wasn't prepared for was how familiar it would be. Anyone who has been even a little bit uncool, geeky, or just plain intelligent in primary school will recognize, and empathize with, the open wounds of Turing as a boy and the scars of Turing as a man. Cumberbatch’s work (brilliant, of course) includes having Turing crumple under the weight of society’s dislike-and finally open persecution-while he, somewhat baffled by the people around him, just wants to solve puzzles and, incidentally, give us all the modern computer. My thanks for giving it AWESOMETACULAR status.

It's about time you reviewed this Jeremy. I've been waiting for this review forever!

Congrats on 700k Jeremy! You've been awesome man, I wish you all the future success you can get :) please keep doing what you're doing it's awesome

Imagine where we would be if he wasn't pushed to suicide. :( Great that the story of this genius is finally being told in such a great movie!

Birdman finally reached my local cinema, I can finally watch it along with Imitation Game! Will hopefully see it tonight.

Buddy, I just gotta say I really love your reviews. You and your team have a true talent for presenting things for their face value on a level that everyone has to relate to, on some level. This movie has been on my "don't forget to check it out list", for probably too long at this point. The things that you were stoked about were precisely what I was hoping for from this movie. I just watched the trailer for the eleventy-millionth time and I was in the same place that it's left me every time. Excited to see one of my favorite actors portray a genius that never got his due credit, in today's society. He was recognized, undoubtedly, but as you said he was one that never stood amongst the well known. My only hesitation (but certainly not a deal breaker) was that the trailer really played a lot more to his romance and kind of painted a Friday Night Lights kind of backdrop to a story that I feared would lose it's value to classic Hollywood bs. Your review eased that tension. Keep doing what you're doing. As a long time movie lover and studier, as well as a self proclaimed connoisseur of reviews and what makes a good youtube video, you have a fan in me. Cheers.

Congratulations on 700k Jeremy! You deserve way more!

If you work with computers or code you knew who Alan Turing was before this movie. :)

Thank you for not spoiling the fact that he was gay. I had no idea going into this movie he was as your review was the only one I'd seen up until watching it. I had a sneaking suspicion and then that ending just blew me away. After reading all these comments criticizing you for not mentioning it, I feel the need to THANK YOU for keeping your review straightforward and to-the-point which isn't that he was gay but that he was a genius going up against impossible odds. The commments in this video just goes to show you that people are willing to complain just about anything for attention.

Congrats Jeremy on reaching 700,000 Subscribers. Almost 1 Million!!!!

Finally, I've been waiting for you to review this one for ever...

I only know about this story from an IT course, but it really should be part of our required education.

My interpretation of the movie: it was not about neither about homosexuality (to some extent) nor development of the deciphering machine. It was about a man, who, no matter of his contribution in ending the war, was condemned just for being homosexual. It's the society, that should be cured, not Alan Turing.

The Imitation Game was my favourite film of 2014, it was well written, emotional, thrilling, has a fantastic soundtrack and was superbly acted by all especially Benedict Cumberbatch. I've been waiting for you to review this for AGES it came out on 14th of November here in Ireland, I'm so happy you enjoyed it. Your review was worth the wait. :)

Ahhhh I've been waiting so long for you to do this review!!!!!!

This movie was awesome! The framing was perfect, the pacing was crisp, the characters had personality and were relatable, there's really heavy moments, and it's intriguing as fuck. What else do you need? Not to mention the acting. Just watch this movie without bias from the comments. It really isn't one of those World War 2 flicks we always get. This is just my opinion, but still. Calm down if you don't agree. Not sure if it deserved the Best Picture Nomination since I still haven't seen enough movies.

Very thoughtful and intelligent biopic about an unsung hero. Like he said, its a very intense movie that tells a great story that some will either respect and understand or completely ignore its great themes. Benedict Cumberbatch is a brilliant actor and gives an incredible performance, one that focuses on Turing's genius and his struggles as a homosexual when at any second the wrong person could find out and arrest him. Some people aren't fans of Cumberbatch which is fine and is their opinion, but to call him 'overrated' after a performance like this is simply a sin. Keira Knightly also came out of nowhere with a great performance. It may have its inaccuracies like every biopic, but I hope people respect the themes and at least appreciate the great things this man did for us. Once again Jeremy, great review!

I'm glad you liked this one! I adored it. Maybe now some history teachers will start mentioning Turing.

God I love this movie! Cumberbatch is absolutely fantastic, knightley shines like never before and the story is such an important one to be told. Awesome movie. Benedict Cumberbatch should win the Oscar for this

You know what sucks? No teens or kids ever review movies! That is where I come in! I just started my channel and reviewed this movie. If you could check me out that would be great. Thanks!

Amazing movie!! It is really sad to see how society treated one of its greatest minds, just because he was "different". A real shame.

Really well done Review Jeremy, One of the best I've ever seen.

OMG do the Fantastic 4 trailer next!!! I love the photography... the tone is spot on!!!

Please. Can you do a spoiler talk review for this movie. This is an absolutely awesome movie and you did an excellent job not spoiling it. However now I want to know if you shed man tears at the end of the movie (I did). I know that it is a big part that you couldn't mention without spoiling it so a second review would be cool and a awesometacular deserves it in my opinion.

Meet the man who saved the world and invented the grandfather of the modern computer and even predicted the computers of today. Alan Turing

700k Subs!! Congrats!!!

I wondered where your awesometacular review went for this glad that I could wait for it

I was able to see this movie last year. Definitely the best movie I've seen in theaters in years (not old enough to get into a rates R movie yet so I have limited options). 12 dollars well spent.

People are acting like Turing being gay was like the pivotal point of the movie. It had little bearing on the plot. He didn't mention it, it was still I very good review

Hey, first time leaving a comment, awesome channel, you're doing good work here. You can't tell but I'm giving you two thumbs ups. Now, this review. Honestly, this wasn't a bad movie, it was good but nothing more than good. Actors did great work however I felt that this movie should have been longer. There was really no emotional connection the audience, at least me, made with any other characters other than Cumberbatch and Knightly. When Hollywood does a movie like this on a relatively unknown historical figure, I feel that more light should be shed on the entirety of their life. I felt like the details were brushed over and that making up a childhood for this historical character doesn't do justice and ruins the magic of a movie about a historical person by reminding me that I'm watching a screen with actors role playing. Just my opinion, maybe I'm asking for a documentary or the writing and directing were as dry as I perceived them. Keep up the good work! PEACE

Love your videos, never stop.

The math in the movie was extremely simplified to get people even chance to comprehend, I'm not saying people are stupid or anything but the the math involved in cracking Enigma was some alien level shit ! Sadly Turing did not get as much attention as should because he was most likely gay and huge secrecy about the whole project....

haven't seen the movie yet, but I hope they give the Poles some recognition, cuz they were the first to crack the code

Im very curious for this film. About your reviews style and links some people comment, You have the passion and sense to keep me loocking for. I don't want a long review almost half movie time to tell me "what's is going on" that's my job. Tnks.

If you ever visit Manchester (in England) make sure to visit the Turing Memorial. It's a part of the memorial garden just off canal street. It's a beautifully moving and understated statue. What's most striking about it is that, despite the fact that you can sit beside him and have your picture taken should you choose to do so, he looks so lonely. Loved this film. Not all heroes wear capes, some of them rock a Harris Tweed suit.

Watched this movie so many times and I love it so much, though him being persecuted for being gay broke my heart to pieces.

Loved this movie.

Good job Jeremy! 700,000 subscribers!

Congrats on 700k subs!

An awesome movie with an awesome actor!

Keira Knightley has been great in movies for years. The Jacket, Atonement, Never Let Me Go, Seeking A Friend For The End Of The World, Begin Again. Just saying.

I LOVED this movie. It was so intense, and I felt like I was there with him, and I could feel sympathy for him. The ending was heart breaking for me and I actually teared up; that's how invested I was in the movie.

This movie was simply amazingl

I think this is the first 'bad' review of Jeremy's I've ever seen. Talk about ignoring the elephant in the room.

Watched The Imitation Game yesterday and I loved it so much. Great acting from Benedict Cumberbatch, who portrayed the demeanor and the voice of a lonely genius so well. Despite knowing what to expect(since I read the plot), it still touches me very much. Great movie.

I also loved Matthew Goode who played Hugh Alexander in The Imitation Game and Ozymendias in Watchmen.

Jeremy have you ever thought about Reviewing older movies? I wish I could watch the movies you review without having to go to a movie theater. But, I guess no one wants to see you review movies on Netflix except me, lol.

Two Words: BRILLIANT & HEARTBREAKING

When I first heard about this film, I was extremely curious about it, so it took me a year later to get to finally seeing it and I loved it.

I have been waiting for this review for a while

Cumberbatch is a great actor but he is in everything nowadays, I'm just bored of him now, oversaturated.

"No one knows about Alan Turing"... Erm, no offence Jeremy, but speak for yourself.

Fantastic four teaser, Jeremy! :D

I remember last year, Jeremy had an awesometacular finally come out in May with Captain America: The Winter Soldier, he must be relieved and glad to be able to give one this early in the year !

Thank you Jeremy! I am now very interested in seeing it!

Jeremy I have been subbed for a while. One thing that I've never payed attention to is when you release reviews. Do you have a certain day a week when you review movies like other channels with schedules or do you do it when you are able to? Just a something that came to mind.

I love this film. I live only a few minutes away from where this all happened. It's such an awesome place to visit. The film actually came out in November for us in the UK.

Until this movie came out I didn't actually know how unrecognised Alan Turing is... In my school one of the 6 houses is named after him, I just assumed everybody knew about him. I'm really glad this phenomenal movie is giving him the recognition he deserves.

Hey Jeremy I'm sure you've been asked this several times before but I would very much appreciate it if you reviewed Spike Jonze's "Her." I want to hear your thoughts on it.

i learnt about this guy and the people that worked on this in my secondary school mathematics class

one word to describe this movie is "Brilliant". I loved how intense it was, how shocking it was, how frustrating, how sad it was. It's a great movie that everyone should see.

First awesometacular review I've seen in a long time

I will have to watch this one day. I also feel honoured that I live close to Bletchley. :)

Loved this movie. It made me cry, which is very hard to do. I partially blame the fact that a few years back, I did research on Alan Turing and the Turing Tests, and was appalled that neither I nor anyone else in my class had ever heard of him. Alan Turing should be a household name.

I've seen the Enigma Machine and the machine made to crack it. The Enigma is the size of a typewriter, but Turner's machine was 10 times that, it was really cool.

The thing you're holding in your hand right now is a Turing machine. Think about that.

I saw The Imitation Game over the weekend and it was great. It's the kind of movie that everyone should see to make them appreciate things more.

Hey Jeremy. At what number would you put this movie in your top 10 list and what movie would you cut out? Comment below let me know!

Talking about impossible odds, I never thought Jeremy would say that a movie he saw in January is awesometacular

The weird thing is that prior to the release of this film, I wasn't aware Alan Turing's role in breaking the Enigma Code and early development of modern day computing, but as a fan of science-fiction I'd often seen or read about the Turing Test being used to determine whether and artificial lifeform was sentient or not. So it seems kind ironic that he has been part of current day culture before now, just not for what most would consider his most important contribution.

Correction, Jeremy. Enigma is the code that Turing tries to break. The machine is named a "bombe". But thank you for approving this movie. One of the best of 2014! :D

Now that there's a movie on Turing, we need one on Charles Babbage and Ada Lovelace, the first pioneers of computing.

I saw this movie in 2014 and loved it so much, but I was disappointed I couldn't find your review. I'm so glad you gave an explaination why it took so long, I was worried you forgot about it.

Take THAT people who say Jeremy only likes summer blockbusters!

The screencap for this video cracked me up for about two minutes straight. It's ok Jeremy, I love him too. =0)

I read about Turing when I was little and always wanted a movie about him. Looks like they knocked it out of the park.

Beezlebub Cumbercooch is probably my favorite actor

Best thumbnail you've ever had, Jeremy. Hahaha

I will watch it with my class next Tuesday. That will be the greatest day of school EVER.

It's interesting (but not surprising) to me that Turing's contribution to the war effort is not widely known in the USA. If the work on Enigma interested you then you should look into the Lorenz cipher (Enigma on hard mode) and the Colossus machine they built to break it.

Yes! Thank you for reviewing this! I really thought u weren't going to

Have you seen Predestination? If not it is a must see!

This video will be my first thumbs up for this channel this was my favorite movie of 2014

I was waiting for this review since I have seen the movie 2 weeks ago, I was sure you'll like it :p Alan Turing is presented as the inventor of computers, there is also theorems after his name in discreet mathematics, and I'm so glad to know that this movie about him is that good. It is a great hommage.

Jeremy, now you know what it feels like to live in England! Big Hero 6 isn't even out yet!

Awesome review! Rock on!

I'm glad you liked this movie. I plan on watching this movie. Turing is awesome. It's sad what they did to him later in life.
