The movie chronicles the life of Alan Turing, most famous for his contributions to breaking the Nazi’s Enigma Code during World War II.
While Turing’s life may have involved a lot of math, Professor Earnest Perry questions how much will be featured in the film.
"We have this thing about there are only certain people who really understand math and I'm going to be interested to see just how much math they are going to put in this movie and whether or not it's going to add to the conversation or take away from the movie."
Professor Mike McKean said the movie not only celebrates the victories of Turing’s life, but also shows the tragedies.
"He was a hero at one moment and very quickly because of his sexual orientation, he was brought down. So there are a lot of lessons in that movie besides whether or not journalists can do math."
Perry said "The Imitation Game" fits in with "Unbroken" and several other recent films about World War II.
"You're starting to see a lot of movies about World War II that tell another side of the story that you really haven't seen what happens behind the scenes of warfare."
