The week it came out over a month ago I bought the Christian Bale/Hugh Jackman/Michael Caine movie The Prestige. After having it this long and having no one to watch it with, I finally got someone to sit down with me to watch it, and I was really surprised. I mean, it was far from what I expected of a movie. I was literally expecting a movie about two magicians competing with one another, and finding that what one does is not illusions, but real. This is done not through magic, but science, the true magic.
It is also a great character piece, and going into the movie I thought Hugh Jackman's character was the one who we should be rooting for, but as the movie, which begins near the end, runs through events the audience finds the truth out.
Overall, come in expecting not just a movie about magicians, but something far more thought-provoking and outrageous.
