I was puzzled that this movie didn't do better as it was riddled with amazing actors and a fascinating story. See it.

I liked it very much. Great sound track by John Williams. No hollywood heroes in this one. A nostalic feeling to it. A good movie. If you are quick enough... you may just manage to see Sir Mick Jagger in a tiny cameo part...

My husband and I were surprisingly impressed with this movie. It was not a "Hollywood" type movie, which was refreshing. The characters were well developped and the acting was great (great performance by Kate Winslet) The nature of the story, the complexity of decoding, was difficult to follow, however.

This is a well thought out, entertaining movie about regular people in an interesting time. It is defininitely not a summer blockbuster, but that's what I liked about it. I doesn't fit into the stereo-typical movie that Hollywood has been mass producing these days. This movie is actually clever. A reminder that all is not always what it seems. It starts a little bit on the slow side, but it picks up, and is definitely worth it in the end.

I loved the movie! It's based on history - not intended to be a documentary, but rather a mystery novel. I have read extensively about codemaking and codebreaking and the Enigma itself. I found the movie contained enough information to be technically satisfying to me and yet not so technical as to render the movie boring. Even better, it had my movie-babe "Kate Winslet" in it... So of course I loved it! A good mystery, loads of fun, go see this movie! If it inspires you to go read more about ciphers, codebreaking and the Enigma itself, so much the better!

Enigma was really nice to watch. It wasn't another war movie. it was a pleasant romantic/mystery/drama during war time without all that action and killing. We weren't on the killing field but were behind the scenes and saw another side of the war. It was refreshing and wasn't depressing.

This movie is a refreshing change of pace from the rapid staccato action of recent Hollywood flicks that has left me with a headache on more than one occasion. In "Enigma, " an intelligent script combined with a talented cast makes for enjoyable movie-watching. If you are expecting breathless suspense, however, you may be disappointed. The film plods gently along with attention paid to even very small details. I certainly didn't miss the brazen displays of advertising, the overly attractive and static characters, or the mindless violence that seem to plague most other movies. Bottom line: If you are looking for something different, don't miss this one.

SOME REAL FACT ABOUT ENIGMA In 1928, the Poles acquired the knowledge about the German military Enigma by intercepting one, in customs, being sent to the German Embassy in Warsaw and examined it. A whole series of Enigma machines was produced at the factory in Warsaw. A group of brilliant mathematics students at the Poznan university (Rajewski, Rozycki and Zygalski) was recruited to work in the cryptological section of the Polish General Staff. By 1934 they decrypted the German Enigma signals. To facilitate decryption Rajewski designed an electromechanical programmable machine which he called 'Bomba' (Polish for bomb) because of the bomb-like ticking noise it made. On July 25, 1939, the Poles gave the French and the British replicas of Polish made Enigmas together with the drawings and information on the Enigma, Bomba and the decryption information.

This was definitely a good movie... with a great story... the movie captivates the audiences attention with a sense of wonderment. A must see for an audience that wants a good old fashioned type of movie... not alot of the Hollywood special effects... nice for a change.

An intriguing and captivating mystery movie in a summer filled with special effects and few plot driven movies. If you can find it in a theatre (as good movies are difficult to find this year) it is well worth the money. Definitely for people sick of Hollywood tripe. Based on the Robert Harris novel, Enigma, which I now intend to read. While based on historical events, the movie is not portrayed as a direct depiction of history. Stop reading, just see it.

Dear Sir; In my eternal quest for the TRUTH I am wondering about the non-description of the Polish help in deciphering of the code. I am also wondering how much the British are going to say about the great lack of correct history in this movie! I have seen the movie in the past two weeks. Also spent the last five days doing research on the Enigma machine, which has a big basis in American history as Thomas Jefferson invented the first rotor type machine way back after we beat the English and the German troops in the war against England. The machine was re-invented by an German-American named Edward Hugh Hebern 1917 (He seemed to have added electricity to it.) and then a year later reinvented by a Hollander named Hugo Alexander Koch 1918 and then again by a German named Scherbius 1923. So as you can see we Americans gave the British something to do in WW-II so they can claim to have invented the computer. Which even Turing did not claim! Since I am my own expert on the Enigma I was disappointed in the lack of acknowledgement to the Poles who were working on the Enigma problem at least 3 if not 10 years before the Brits and saved the Brits at least 3 years in solving the problem of the Enigma. It being very likely that the Brits would not have solved the problem at all if not for the Poles! Besides the Americans were working on it because of the Japanese use of the code called Purple (not JN25) Yours, M. L. Anderson
