Best Movie Ever

Rating: 10/10 (1 July 2015)

The Prestige is about two magicians in 19th Century England whose friendship turns into a lifelong rivalry as they go to any and all lengths in order to one-up each other on their quest to create the ultimate illusion, something that would make that David Blaine weirdo run for the hills with his tail between his legs.
Who knew people took magic so seriously?
So for some reason, this movie came out at the same time as The Illusionist – also about a magician doing his thing in 19th Century England – and I find that people constantly mistake the two. But make no mistake folks, The Prestige is the one to see.
It's directed by Christopher Nolan, and, really, what else is there to say. He's one of the best at what he does and it's been crystal for a while now that he's got this whole storytelling thing down to a science. And while the look and feel of this movie is very sleek and stylish in keeping with Nolan's prior and future efforts, the most impressive thing about this movie is the way in which he structures it.
