Yeah it's convoluted and absurd - you have to accept that Tesla invents the replicator from Star Trek and then gives it away for the sake of performance art instead of just using it to print money. But ultimately it's a pretty gripping noirish-mystery with an excellent lead rivalry, no real heroes (refreshing!) and a unique sci-fi twist that's right up my alley.

Amazing and intricate story about obsession and deception. Each time I revisit Nolan's sly, moody, well-acted genrebender, I love it more. Knowing the tricks up his sleeve, one appreciates all the setups and misdirections. Alert first-time viewers will be able to predict some twists and turns of the plot but knowing Borden's secret early doesn't deflate the suspense, and it helps pull the rug out from under you later if you think that you've already figured out the mystery. An all-time favorite.

An exciting and enigmatic piece with an intricate and detailed plot that keeps you guessing until the end - even when I had one element figured out, another one would surprise me. The acting by Bale and Jackman is fantastic, and the dark and moody atmosphere is highly appropriate.

Nolan delivers again with an engaging tale of obsession and revenge in the world of professional magicians. Incredible atmosphere and top-notch acting all around. The "twist" might put some people off, as it takes the material in a very unexpected and fantastical direction, but the core story of bitter one-upmanship is very strong.

Hats off to the Nolans for a truly masterful script. Very economic storytelling, there isn't an empty moment in the entire film. The acting is terrific from both leads, but Caine is especially good as their mentor. My favourite quality of the film is that it doesn't feel obligated to make us root for one man over the other. They are both equally flawed men with believable motivations, and the movie doesn't need a hero to work. A strong film that gets better and better with repeat viewings.

I can't say enough good things about this brilliant film from Chris Nolan. The acting from Caine, Jackman and Bale was top notch, the cinematography was dark and gritty in a way that complemented the story, and the story itself (adapted from Priest's novel) was complex and clever. My only complaint is that I'd have liked a stronger score, but the bits that I did hear augmented the visuals well enough. Easily one of the best movies of 2006.

Even the staunchest detractors of Nolan, whether they're too clever for Inception or too highbrow for The Dark Knight,or worst of all underground enough to claim Memento was his only good flick should just watch this again. Because if nothing else it proves them right, and that Nolan knows it, as he exposes filmmaking for what it is - sleight of hand, where at its best you feel like you've got one up on the magician, right until he pulls the rabbit out his arse, and not his plethora of hats.

I like movies where I think "Hey, I haven't seen this story before." Really awesome narrative structure and clever plot (thanks to the book author). Nolan truly makes the late 1800's magician world come to life. There is so much going on in this movie, and it only gets better with repeated viewings. Plus brilliant casting.

The Prestige was a terrific film. The acting was all around marvelous. This movie had such a great cast. I really enjoyed it. I should have enjoyed it more than I did, but there was something missing, just like in every other one of Nolan's films, I just don't know what. Bale is definitely gonna be one of the more successfull actors in his generation, and this film is a good example as to why. A terrific story, and a terrific twist ending, definitely worth a watch.

Beautifully shot, this film - with Nolan's typically non-linear script - challenges the viewer throughout, but never becomes unmanageably complex. The two leads are excellent, but Bowie stands out in his fantastic portrayal of Nikola Tesla. The final twist is an understated, but shockingly unexpected reveal the likes of which M. Knight Shyamalan can only dream.

The atmosphere is tense and frightening at times, the performances are uniformly strong, the plot is twisting, labyrinthian and quite engaging - and somehow, this film, as enjoyable as it is, falls short of greatness and I can't quite explain why. Perhaps it's because it so eagerly offers up its secrets at the end and leaves no shred of mystery for the viewer to figure out, or maybe because there's an element of "cheating" to it. Either way, it's a fun ride, but it's missing something.

A brilliant mystery/thriller that actually gives you a chance to work out whats going on, though you wont until a second viewing and then you'll kick yourself. Also manages to jump between 3 seperate time streams without skipping a beat, the actings top notch and while slightly anachronistic the setting comes off as distinctly victorian. An overlooked classic. See it as soon as you can.

Even by Nolan’s standards, The Prestige is bleak, depressing, and ultimately quite disturbing, but the magic is in how addictive the experience is. Regardless of whether you predict Borden’s secret or not, the mastery of Nolan’s storytelling keeps you utterly transfixed. Admittedly, not everything quite adds up to the logical mind on a scene-by-scene basis, but that’s okay, because you don’t really want to work it out. You just want to be fooled.

I was, however, very surprised by how immensely unpredictable and dark the film was. With a very captivating plot, and a combination of mystery and fantasy that will boggle the mind, The Prestige turned out to be even better than expected. Awesome!

Another very impressive intellectual thriller from Christopher Nolan, whose body of work is starting to show common themes and recurring patterns such as duplications of personal identity and blurred boundaries between reality and illusion. Nolan himself is a master illusionist, and his dedication to his tricks is evident in the quality package of production design, sound, editing, casting and acting on display here. Perhaps one too many twists up its sleeve, but a remarkable story nonetheless.

I have a hard time defending this film, especially upon repeat viewings. The casting is absolutely fantastic. But the 'twist' ending, the flashback-within-a-flashback and a too-convoluted narrative burden the film where it needn't be; plus, on a basic level, why would Nolan reveal his prestige? Isn't that against the point?

I was surprised by the sheer depths of depravity on display here. What awful people. It is a well made and fun film, successfully treading a fractured timeline with great performances and lovely production design. It's just unfortunate that, like many of Nolan's films, it relies so heavily upon twists and revelations. For a film about secrecy and illusion, it can't help but divulge its own tricks.

Putting aside the two very average female leads in this film, The Prestige is another example of Nolan's brilliance. Totally gripping, with a pulsating last half hour, that is a brilliant climax to a great plot which takes all the best parts from the also excellent novel by Christopher Priest. Brilliantly shot, with a great script and two stunning male lead performances. If it wasn't for Johansson and Hall's stodgy performances I would have scored it even higher. Still magnificent however.

The Prestige is terrific. Many of the aspect, if not all of them in it is extraordinary. Like walking through a long labyrinth full of so many gateways: you're going to find something special in each door. Bale once again dishes out a awesome performance, backed-up by Caine who is severly underrated. The third act though I felt was a bit shallow, and the twist was expected. Still perfect.

The Prestige is a magnificent movie that I have seen a couple of times now. Christopher Nolan once again brings a mind-bending movie to audiences with fantastic acting to boot. The story of these two magicians feels like the story of star-crossed lovers. Each time they come in contact with each other, they believe that they have figured something out, but it really just moves them closer to destruction. I'm still not sure which of the characters to root for which make subsequent viewings better.

I watched it again a couple days ago. It is very very good. I love how well Christian Bale and Hugh Jackman "two superheroes" played these characters that are impossible to define. Sometimes they are good, sometimes bad, sometimes victims, sometimes they commit atrocities. The interesting thing is many people don't see "the prestige" coming, I did but even then it is very poignant to watch. Well done, Nolan!

*spoilers indicated here* You know, when you're trying to figure out magic tricks and illusions you usually look to the ordinary, so having a gigantic duplicating machine just cheapens everything. Not to mention having a twin is fine as an explanation, as long as what that twin does makes some true sense about one's true motivations. Too far-fetched.

Great plot. So unpredictable, you are constantly kept ignorant of everything going on in the movie. You could have figured it out by remembering what he always said about living the lie, and what his wife said (tpday you don't love me), but the way it's done was just too marvelous to find out. The counterpart of the illusionist. There they focus on the love story, but here it's all about the story and the magic. I love this movie which truly is magic!

Almost a rip off of The Duellists. It gets repetitive and boring and the plot twist at the end doesn't do it justice. I was naturally on Angier's side so that stupid and lazy trick at the end pissed me off. Hopefully it has breathtaking cinematography and rustic feeling that saves the film!

Really interesting and engrossing. Well cast and with nice plot twists. See once and then watch it again.

Stacks up to "The Illusionist" quite nicely but I find it loses me around the "BIG TWIST", which I find takes the "magic" out of the movie (see what I did there?).

It doesn't teach you how to magic your way into Scarlett's pants, but it does show you how to make a shitload of brims.

Lovely, intelligent and well told story and amazing actors. Unlike many movies with twist endings I can see this one many times.

A fantastic film that dips in and out of several genres through its runtime. Far, far better than the also-ran Illusionist.

Nolan is simply a great storyteller. Despite the content, this never feels silly, not even for a second.

The Prestige is another superb piece of filmmaking from Christopher Nolan. Christian Bale & Hugh Jackman both give stellar performances and the rivalry between the two magicians is incredibly engaging. Michael Caine is a worthy mention too and he gives his best performance in years. David Bowie is a fun inclusion also. The overall direction and cinematography is simply stunning. The script is superb and the story telling and endless twists, turns, clues and reveals are all perfectly executed.

A brilliant thriller that keeps you on the edge of your seat for the entire 130 minute run time. Get it on Blu-ray and watch in awe as the magic unfolds itself in front of your eyes.

Wolverine and Batman being competing magicians manages to become a highly engrossing tale of loss and deceit and how far a man is willing to go that I find stylistically beautiful and endlessly entertaining.
