AMAZING movie

Rating: 10/10 (7 June 2010)

This is by far one of my favorite movies. One of few movies I consider to be artwork. It is truly a masterpiece of a movie. It is suspenseful, mind-boggling, intellectual, and humorous and action-filled at times.
I have watched this movie about four times now, and every time I watch it I pick up on things that escaped me the previous time. This movie has an ability to dazzle and entertain, which is essential for a movie, while also providing the audience with serious food for thought.
The Prestige is well researched and surprisingly believable too. It has a sci-fi twist that plays well with the plot. At first when I learned of the sci-fi component I scoffed at it, believing it to be a misplacement of something better off in a James Cameron film. As it turned out I was completely wrong. It fit right in, as a mater of fact it was essential, to the plot. Whether the science of the device is believable or not can be discarded. The movie is based on the moral repercussions that result from using the device more than the device itself.
Speaking of moral repercussions, there are so many thought-provoking moral questions in this movie that it's a wonder they fit them all in!
This is a wonderful movie. I suggest that anyone who can loose a night of sleep over it should watch it. You'll stay up pondering the plot, the morals, the 'what ifs,' basically the whole movie itself! Definitely worth a watch, or two, or three....
