Mitch Huttema’s review of The Imitation Game blew my mind. If he was not a fan of the homosexual subplot so be it, but to write the entire movie off as clichéd is lazy reviewing. To complain of a “heavy reliance on plot to keep the film engaging” is astounding! A film that rests its merits on a good story, isn’t that the whole point of movies? Seems to me that not cluttering up a good story is a sign of a good director, not one with “no artistic vision!” Besides, how does one mix in special effects, explosions, car chases, etc. in a historically-based film if they didn’t actually happen in real life? Please do not review Unbroken or 71 as I don’t think historical movies are your thing!
