Date watched: October 20Review: The Prestige started off as one of those movies where you've seen the whole movie by watching the trailer. Christopher Nolan wouldn't dare be so trite though. There are plenty of surprises throughout the whole story to amaze the viewer. The elements of the genre are seemingly changed throughout the story. When you think it is going one way, it introduces a plot element that changes the whole genre of the movie. While many people would see this as a flaw, this is what saved the movie, and in fact turned it into one of the most spectacular movies of this year. Hugh Jackman, Christian Bale, and Michael Caine deliverd brilliant performances. Scarlett Johansson could have used some improvement, but was sufficient for her part.
Rating: 9.7/10.0
