We saw this over the Christmas break. Benedict Cumberbatch will be Oscar-nominated for Best Actor and will be a favorite to win it. Terrific movie. Might even get a Best Picture nod in part because of the social justice/human rights theme. At the end the movie hits you over the head a little with that theme, but that probably won't hurt its chances. Highly recommended.

I liked this one but didn't love it. For one thing, I think it never once attempted to explain how the machine worked. I think the producers thought the audience was too dumb to understand, but we didn't even get a good Hollywood analogysplnation ("it's like trying all the combinations on a padlock...")
