fajrdrako | The Prestige... (Reply)

I went to see The Prestige yesterday. Good movie. Stellar cast: with the likes of Christian Bale (who impresses me more every time I see him, and I've liked him from the beginning), Hugh Jackman, Scarlet Johansson, Andy Serkis, David Bowie, and Michael Caine.... and a setting of late Victorian London and Colorado Springs. I have been to Colorado Springs. Gorgeous place. It was fun to see it as a movie setting.

I enjoyed the twists and turns of the plot, though I guessed Alfred's secret rather early in the movie - too many clues - and that made a lot of it just fall into place. (I admit I was confused about Angier's main trick - the body in the tank - until I saw the hats and the cats on the mountainside.) By the end I wasn't sure how convincing it all was, but it was fun to be along for the ride.
