After our theater-visit and stuffing our faces with numerous goodies from the Chinese buffet, we came home and found “Prestige” on-demand.
I did enjoy the film – it’s one that I was hoping to be able to see months ago and never had the opportunity. As an wanna-be amateur magician the previews for this film appealed to me on numerous levels. Watching the actual film was a bit disappointing, however.
Knowing that it was a film and involved very little “real” illusions (if any), I was left wanting much, much more. The plot was great, however, and did keep my brain making up the “answer” to its question.
The ending WAS a bit disappointing for me, but I guess that’s to be expected with what I like to think of as an “illusionist background”!
I LOVED THIS MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!
Actually the book was better and a little different plot…and if you really want a good movie about illusion (not the jist of the whole movie though, just to warn you), rent “the Illusionist”. good love story too (this is the true jist of the movie).
I thought the movie was decent, pleased with the twists that I did not see coming, what I thought was more amazing was the amount of passion these two men had for revenge, wow that was simply amazing. Anyways, enjoyable!!!!
