Surprisingly (although, not so surprisingly given that Christian Bale is in it), a good movie. I thought the ending was really cool. Plus, I'm a sucker for magic, and Scarlett Johansson. |

Twisty drama, very well-cast and able to deliver some effective moments; stands up good the first time, but will most likely lose a lot with subsequent rewatches. Final Grade: B |

One of the best films i have ever seen! Christopher Nolan delivers yet another masterpiece. Like Nolan's other films, The Prestige is Dark, Beautiful, and Captivating with a plot so deep that i learn something new each time i watch it. |

Pledge, Turn, Prestige |
|
The Prestige was a fantastic film, not surprisingly with the actors that the movie round together. None the less, this film was one of the best that I've seen.
The story was complicated, but by the end the story nearly explained itself. The amount of shock, back-stabbing, and illusions that went into the movie kept me on the edge of my seat. I could hardly take my eyes off of the screen. Everything was visually and story wise was put together very nicely, and left everything to the imagination until the very end of the movie.
The thing I loved more than the story and the visual effects was the characters. Each character really stood out in this movie, which helped make The Prestige a fantastic film. The way the actors portrayed the characters really helped frame and set the movie to... |

Magic and intrigue. |

This is a movie. A movie of such epic proportions I hardly know what to write. Except that it is absolutely incredible. But with the acting talents of Hugh Jackman (X-Men, Van Helsing), Christian Bale (Batman Begins), Michael Caine (Children of Men) combined with the director of Batman Begins Christopher Nolan what else can you expect. The actors are all perfect for their roles. Scarlett Johansen tends to annoy me but she was actually pretty good in this movie.This movie takes an in depth look at human nature: Its struggle for revenge, its need to be at the top, and its obsession and duplicity. The pledge, turn, and prestige of this film are all deftly executed and the special effects and symbolism are incredible. All in all, a must see. I was greatly surprised that it didn't take home so... |

"The Prestige" was hands-down one of the top 10 movies of 2006. I LOVED Christopher Nolan's exquisite writing and his direction is nothing short of spectacular. Written and directed in a similar manner to "Momento," this movie kept me on the edge of my seat and made me gasp in awe at the ending. One of those films that I can always put on and enjoy. |
