The Prestige deserves many prestigious awards.

Rating: 10/10 (8 November 2006)

I was amazed by this movie. Everything is done beautifully from the acting to the set to the costumes. You certainly feel like you're immersed in the story and you've gone back in time to the height of magic. I was a bit surprised by some of the secrets. I won't give anything away, but I'm good at guessing films and this one I only got about 50% correct, which is really low for me. Even if you are completely paying attention, it's sometimes difficult to keep up. I almost wanted to start taking notes in order to figure out what was going on. Every actor is amazing, and the plot twists will keep you on the edge of your seat. I was a bit surprised by the addition of a science fiction element, but it didn't detract from the story in the least. This is a wonderful film, and you'll certainly want to pay attention when the Professor asks "Are you watching closely?"
