Not expecting a great stuff, I was not disappointed.
Like the Illusionist (same year), this is not one I did like a lot.
One month separated the public coming out of these movies Once seen, is enough... (I even preferred the Illusionist, though in it the acting was like a tasteless menu)
Yes, the Prestige's acting and cast is much better than in The Illusionist, and the machinery is interesting, but for me, the supposed magic didn't work.
Good acting and decorum seldom save a whole movie...
The script is too complicated, and twisting a lot for an poor result...
Not very funny, insisting on special effect...
In fact what I appreciated was the acting as i wrote before, good if not top notch...
The rest: "bof" ... the french interjection perfectly describe my appreciation!
So, the same year, with an interval of a month, two "magic films" came out, at least for me (knowing the IMDb voters top marks for both!) for a so-so result : it must be the law of series...
Fortunately, after expecting much pleasure from the Illusionist, and in fact was just a passable OK saying, for this one my hopes were lowered : it corresponded to what I got...
