The Prestige (2007, Blu-ray Disc)

The Prestige

This film is an absolute masterpiece. Filled with stunning performances, beautiful scenery, amazing tricks and effects, and enough twists and turns to keep a pretzel maker busy for years.

Christian Bale is one of my favorite actors, same goes for Michael Caine, and both are absolutely marvelous in this movie. Hugh Jackman is incredible as well.

Just like The Illusionist, The Prestige takes you breath away. Amazing movie to be enjoyed by everybody.

Final Verdict:

5/5

Worth buying?: Definitely.

From the Director of Dark Knight and fight club, what else can you say... it mixes dark with light! Great illusions and disbelief's of cloning! yes it can happen this movie proves Telsa theory! Its a must have for any magic enthusiast or even if you like both actors! All in all must have movie!

TAKE IT FROM ME DONT BUY FROM THIS SELLER!!!!!!!!!!

ive seen that movie about 5 times and i think its awsome thats why i bought it now im just waiting for my blu ray player to arrive to see how it looks in blu ray:) movie is worth watching/buying it A++

It has a great story of two up & coming magicians in London. When hugh jackman is betrayed by christian bale the two set off in a interesting game of cat & mouse. Trickery and deceit or Diabolical and dirty those are the ways of the two after christian bale ties the wrong knot on hugh jackman's wife during the act and she in turn drowns from a failed water escape. The plot thickens and twists until you are scratching your head wondering, "How is that possible?". Great mystery and intrigue are found throughout the movie and it is the best magician movie i've seen to date! A GREAT FILM AND TWO THUMBS UP!

I heard good things about this movie from someone whose opinion I trust.
Good acting, creative and original story with a couple surprising twists. At the end, you kinda see where the movie is going. Probably my only complaint.

Overall, really good.

great fast shipping i enjoyed the move.... couldnt of been a bitter seller to go through.... supperb A+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I own both the DVD and Blu Ray version of this movie and they are both great. The Blu Ray has extra features and is of course better picture quality.

It's not a surprise that when Nolan and Bale work together your guaranteed a good film. Just check out Batman Begins if you don't believe me. This movie was great and always had me wondering what would happen next. The ending was surprising but I won't ruin it either. Check it out you won't be disapointed. A rating for a good movie and good replay value.

This is an amazing movie with many twists. It took me a several veiwings to fully understand the great masterpiece that it is.

The movie itself is amazing. The picture quality was not the best I've seen on Bluray, but you can definitely tell the difference from standard definition. The retail price for this movie and all Blurays is the only real complaint I would have.

I expected better, but not much there though. The acting was good, while the plot was good with some twists. Just average. Where the other guys rate it at EXCELLENT, I don't know, I think it's average. Watching once was okay, but I wouldn’t watch it twice.

From moment one, you know you are in for a treat, and you think you have all the answers, but like with the illusionist, you are wrong... or partially, because they only let you figure out a bit to make you confident that you will not get surprised, and then, total awe...

Beautifully shot.

And in HD, defenitely a visual feast.

"The Prestige" is a frequently dazzling display of cinematic sleight-of-hand from Writer/Director Christopher Nolan ("Batman Begins").
"The Prestige" is an entertaining, handsomely produced period thriller that mostly holds you in its grip, engulfed in a narrative structure that's ultimately satisfying. This faithful adaptation of Christopher Priest's 1996, Prize-Winning Novel has so much atmospheric style, wit and dramatic intrigue that you ultimately surrender to the cinematic flawlessness of "The Prestige", which depicts a festering grudge between two Victorian-Era Stage Magicians that escalates to deadly heights.
As Cutter (Michael Caine), the ingeneur, (illusion designer), to both magicians (explained via voiceover), "The Prestige" refers to the third act, or pay-off in every magic trick. It follows "The Pledge" (set-up) and "The Turn," the actual performance of the illusion.
According to the press notes, Nolan and his brother, Co-Screenwriter Jonathan Nolan, used the three-part structure of a magic trick as their narrative guide in adapting Priest's densely layered, epistolary novel, which flashes back and forth in time between turn-of-the-century London and faraway Colorado.
For the bitter rivalry between elegant master showman Robert Angier (Hugh Jackman) and the unpolished but equally gifted Alfred Borden (Christian Bale) will unfold on both the stages of London's Music Halls; and in the snowbound Colorado Springs Laboratory of Scientist Nikola Tesla (David Bowie).
The visionary inventor, and despised rival of Thomas Alva Edison, represents Angier's best chance of topping Borden's signature trick: "The Transported Man." Blending radical science and traditional magic, Angier briefly gains an advantage; but Borden refuses to concede defeat, even as their lethal feud eventually ensnares Cutter, Borden's fragile Wife (Rebecca Hall), and the gorgeous stage assistant Olivia Wenscombe (Scarlett Johansson).
To reveal any more details about "The Prestige" would spoil its many surprises and nifty plot twists; the majority of which catch you off-guard—like any good magic trick.
That "The Prestige" has narrative ingenuity to spare makes for a film that's often exhilarating to watch. For a story ostensibly set in motion by a devastating tragedy that consumes both men and wreaks havoc with their intimates, there's entwined an emotional pull to "The Prestige". Loaded with betrayals, double-crosses, and surprises provides sufficient time to flesh out the characters. The final revelation may not "surprise" anyone who "watches closely," to quote the advertising tagline. However, this absolutely isn't to say that the resolution is blatantly obvious from the start. Nolan is much too sly and skillful a filmmaker to show us all the tricks up his directorial sleeve and retain that delicious shiver of surprise.
That said, the movie is an eminently enjoyable and clever period thriller, graced with charismatic leads (Jackman is particularly impressive; as is Christian Bale); blended aside an excellent supporting cast; and the bravura filmmaking from Nolan - the Cinematic Magician of "The Prestige".
