The movie is well shot and the story is decent enough. If you are interested in watching a movie that has solid acting with a relatively interesting script then you will likely enjoy the movie.
Unfortunately, if you are interested in the historical facts of either Alan Turing or even anything that occurred during his time at Bletchley Park then you may be disappointed.
The truth is that on completion of the movie you realize you actually were never even told a single thing about how the Enigma machine works, you would believe that Alan Turing broke the code single-handedly, and you may even think that Cryptography requires merely exceptional skills at solving crosswords, which is of course ridiculous. Consider that at no time is even the most basic of Cipher explained.
In Summary, if you want to watch a decent movie and you don't care if the historical facts are accurate and that no technical details are ever explained then you will likely enjoy the movie.
If you expect accurate history and you are interested in the real events / how the machine worked perhaps for example, you will be disappointed.
That should summarize clearly, though I could elaborate further toward the negative in the technical / historical aspects; however, i assume most will enjoy the movie as is.
