1st halve of the movie = rocks. 2nd halve of the movie is to much scifi, but still good.
ne samo da je dobar film,
nego sam i pristrasna!!
David Bowie u ulozi Nikole Tesle,,,
impresivno
Awesome movie about obsession of magic and intense rivalry and props for director Chris Nolan it even has Bowie! + this film kicked The Illusionist in the balls so hard!!
This movie is one of the best. It is very captivating and holds your attention every step of the way.
Movie about two magicians trying to be better than each other. It costs their lives, their families... but they still love their passion.
I like the two twists in the end... I was expecting one, but not two of them. :-)

You should then saviour the first time you view it, because it has a way of pulling your leg. This is made in excactly the mentality movies ... (read more) Literally the magic of movies. Once you know what they did, and how they did it, it becomes less interesting. You should then saviour the first time you view it, because it has a way of pulling your leg. This is made in excactly the mentality movies should be made. Great cast. You gotta love David Bowie as Tesla.
Un vero e proprio gioco mentale, ma anche di cuore. Ã stata un'emozione rivederlo dopo tre anni.
It's stylish as all get out, and some of the themes are intriguing, but I was put off by how mean it is, and much like a real magic trick, once you find out the secret, it all seems rather empty.

It's quite a movie -- atmospheric, obsessive, almost satanic.full review
This dazzling film and first-rate thriller holds you spellbound and doesn't let go.full review
The Prestige is a trick box with too many false bottoms.full review
The Prestige is wonderfully engrossing, darkly mysterious and entertaining from start to finish.full review
An assured bonbon of a film that's thoroughly and deliciously entertaining.full review
There are nifty tricks galore up the sumptuous sleeve of this offbeat and wildly entertaining thriller.full review
The tit-for-tat scenario ought to be wildly entertaining, but the magic is crude, the characters flyweight, and the story protracted and unpleasant.full review
Entertaining, spirited and shamelessly gimmicky, Christopher Nolan's film tells the intricate tale of two rival magicians practicing their art in late-Victorian London.
