Oh, the actual _plot_ of the movie was pretty terrible. But it was nice to watch a movie which depended heavily on technical details for atmosphere, and which got most of them right. (The credit for that lies mainly with the executive producer, Mick Jagger, from what I have heard). Compare that to watching movies with computers (for some of us), or cameras (for most of us). How often do you see some bogus dialog box up on the screen, or hear the noise of a motor drive from a camera with no such option? A movie that told the true story of Bletchley Park would include a lot of credit to the Poles, and quite a bit to resistance movements in other countries. There again, it would also have to include several leading figures who didn't actually show up in "Enigma". We got to go to a preview screening of Enigma here in San Jose, because where my wife works (at the Computer History Museum) they have an actual Enigma machine.
