No one is arguing that his enigma work was his main contribution to science. It stopped the war and probably saved millions of lives. Forget science. By the way the movie was very clear about the contribution of the Poles. Recall that was the big expenditure, for 300 new Polish machines. That is also documented.

It certainly made the contribution, but it was the toil of the soldiers that really stopped the war.

I think you might have missed the whole point of the movie. And of the significance of breaking Enigma. In the movie MI6 agrees to keep the whole thing secret and not tip their hand. That's why it took so long, two years or whatever, for the war to end. But it was the big battles like Normandy that we won due to the intelligence gotten from cracking Enigma. But others battles we lost because MI6 did not provide intelligence for all battles, only a statistical sampling worked out by, guess who? Turning.
Two awful awful actors, and the Hollywood production... gee... thanks!

Yeah, I hear ya, but I'm not arguing the merits of the movie....
