On all the interviews I happened to catch with people involved in it, they were all talking about how real this movie was. In fact, at that site up there, there's a letter from the writer of that movie angrily lashing out at another site that had problems with various scientific issues. They did in fact think their movie was very accurate and had advertised it rather often when it came out (not in commercials, but in interviews).
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
