5.0 out of 5 stars Mind-Blowing and Totally Addictive!
The Prestige had me hooked from start to finish! Every twist and turn kept me guessing, and just when I thought I had it figured out—boom—another layer hits. The performances are phenomenal—Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale absolutely own it—and the cinematography makes every scene feel cinematic and intense.I loved how the story slowly unravels, revealing secrets and rivalries that are as clever as they are darkly entertaining. It’s smart, suspenseful, and packed with “wait, what?!” moments that make you want to rewind and watch it all again.If you love movies that make you think, gasp, and talk about them for days afterward, The Prestige is an absolute must-watch. Magical, thrilling, and brilliantly crafted—it’s a film that sticks with you long after the credits roll.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great storytelling.
The best performance from David Bowie since the Labyrinth! RIP........, Lolz nah 🤣 NOTHING BEATS BOWIE IN LABYRINTH, Christian Bale AND Hugh Jackman are power houses in this one and it hits the first time that you came back for the second 3rd and soon on because the story is impeccable 👌 grade AAA 👍 worth the money to buy/rent! Did you think I would spoil the story? Lolz
5.0 out of 5 stars Magical!
This is an amazing film.I had never heard of it before, but I read about it in an article about the ten best movies with twist endings and had to see what that was all about. It was a twist within a twist within a twist!Not only is the plot incredible, but the acting, the sets, the direction, the score, the whole package is first class.I was pleased to see that I didn't have to worry about awful language or overt sex scenes either.I'll have to watch it again to see what I missed the first time. It's that good.Why hadn't I heard of this one before???
4.0 out of 5 stars just misses, still worth viewing
The Prestige is an interesting film, buoyed more by the stars than the script. I really enjoyed it; have viewed it several times, but I come away from the movie feeling like I've experienced a slight of hand, just like the magic they perform. The wonderful, enduring Michael Caine - always a favourite who could lure me into watching him read a phone book -- gives a strong performance, as usual, as the magical engineer behind Hugh Jackman's Rufus Angier. Jackman's beautiful, wonderful, so the movie's success rest heavily on his performance, and he does well in the lead. Christian Bale as his rival is rather flat, but that could be the script more than his acting as Alfred Borden (but then, I always think this about his performances!). And the White Lord Ziggy, David Bowie, puts in a guest spot that is interesting, but again a bit of waste of his talent. Even a cameo from Daniel Davis.The movie centres around Jackman's Angier and Bale's Border. Angier is the master showman. He has the beauty and grace to set up a trick, which is more than half of it's success. Border is more the thinking man's magician. He can figure out his own tricks, but is lousy at presenting them, until rivalry pushes both men into obsession. They were once friends, but after the death of Jackman's wife in the water tank trick, they became enemies, each trying to out do the other, and taking it way past a rivalry, unto nothing else really matters to them. They lose friends, lovers, and ultimately rush to destruction - of themselves and each other.Very interesting film, one worth watching again. But I still fill like the whole film is one big trick, just like the magic they perform. Misdirection - great cast, beautifully filmed, but covering up what they don't want you too see, that it's a bit more flash than substance.
5.0 out of 5 stars "You don't really want to know the secret... You want to be fooled."
I heard of "The Prestige" when it came out on DVD, but I didn't know too much about it. Saw some commercials for it here and there, but I wasn't sure if it was something that I had to see right away. It wasn't until I went to a store and saw that this was directed by none other than the brilliant Christopher Nolan (who directed my all-time favorite movie, "Memento"). That's all it took for me to buy the DVD without even really knowing what the movie was about. I didn't care. It had Nolan's name on it, and that's all I needed. I watched it the next day and couldn't believe how great this movie was. Not only that, but I ended up watching it again only a few hours after my first viewing.Unfortunately, there are so many twists and turns in this wild ride that I'll have to be brief in describing what it's about so I don't end up giving away something crucial (yeah, it's one of those where you give away one little thing, and it could possibly ruin the movie for the other person). As simplistic as I can put it the film concerns two magicians, Robert Angier and Alfred Borden. The two were quite the team and worked together splendidly until one night one of their well known tricks goes wrong and ends up costing Angier a loved one. He blames Borden for his loss and becomes obsessed with finding any means to out-show him, learn his secrets and destroy him.I know, this sounds like a typical "thriller," but that's really only a small outline of the movie. I had to keep it short and simple to avoid giving away too much. "The Prestige" works more as a drama/thriller/mystery. The entire theme of the movie is to "watch closely," and there's reason for that. You're not entirely sure what is going on until the very end, and even then you feel like you have to watch it again right away to verify what you've just witnessed. Nolan's great at playing head-games with you, and it's nice to see him dive intos that area of film again. Even though you're always trying to piece together what's going on, none of that takes away the enjoyment of watching these characters and how they interact in the environment around them. The look and feel of the film is very dark, but it looks so gorgeous.The performances from Hugh Jackman, Christian Bale and Michael Caine are perfect. Bale never ceases to amaze me in the roles he takes, as he commits himself a hundred percent every time. David Bowie even makes a small appearance in the film, and trust me when I say this, you do not see him as David Bowie on the screen. You buy into his character completely.It must be said, even though this is a PG-13 movie, it gets pretty disturbing and the overall tone of the movie is dark and cold. I wouldn't recommend it for children. The DVD doesn't offer a whole lot of features, which is a shame because I have the suspicion that they will re-release it in a "fully-loaded" edition later on (which I will have to go and buy)."The Prestige" is a total success, and then some. It's one of those movies that you have to watch more than once, and each time you see it (just like with "Memento"), chances are you're going to pick up on something that you didn't see the first time around. If you're looking for something different and unique, I strongly suggest giving this a try. It ranks up there as one of my top favorites of 2006. Nice to see that Christopher Nolan has made another fantastic movie and has proven that he's not just a one-trick pony. The movie may have a lot of twists and turns to keep you interested, but they never take away from the great story and characters.Are you watching closely? -Michael Crane
Magician vs Magician
The media could not be loaded. This is a great movie with an awesome storyline. Movie provides an interesting portrayal on how one night changed everything between two magicians. Friends become enemies. There is a lot of intrigue in this story. This is also the movie that cemented me personally as a Christopher Nolan fan after Batman Begins. The rest of the cast is also amazing. HD & Special Features are of a very great quality.

Absolut sehenswert!
The Prestige ist für mich ein absoluter Kinohöhepunkt. Ein Film, der nicht nur unterhält, sondern nachhaltig beeindruckt. Christopher Nolan versteht es meisterhaft, eine Geschichte zu weben, in der Rivalität, Besessenheit und Opfer auf einmal menschlich und schockierend wirken.Die Darsteller (Hugh Jackman, Christian Bale, Michael Caine u.a.) liefern starke Leistungen. Die Inszenierung im viktorianischen England ist visuell präzise und atmosphärisch dicht, die Musik und Kameraführung verstärken das Gefühl von Geheimnis und Unruhe.Besonders beeindruckt hat mich der Plotaufbau mit seinen Wendungen – man glaubt, man hat verstanden, und dann wird nochmal alles durcheinandergewirbelt. The Prestige fordert Geduld und Aufmerksamkeit, aber die Belohnung ist ein emotionaler und intellektueller Nervenkitzel, der lange nachwirkt.Kurzum: Ein Film, bei dem jedes Detail sitzt. Absolut sehenswert!

Grande film, da vedere!
Wow !... That was intense...
Honestly, I don’t know how to start my review of this movie and it’s the end of it that make me feel this way.The movie is about a simple fight between two illusionists who compete for the glory and the prestige. But there is some kind of a dark shadow that’s surrounding the characters all the time which is really intense, but don’t expect to understand why until its ultimate ending because it’s only there that you finally realize that they slowly made you switch into the darkness of an horror story. I tip my hat to Bale and Jackman, it is really well done.So, if you like stories where you can see how far someone can go with an obsession, you will be served. By the way, after watching it, I changed its location on my shelves and now it’s stand in my Halloween-horror movie’s section.
