From acclaimed filmmaker Christopher Nolan ("Memento," "Batman Begins"), comes a mysterious story of two magicians whose intense rivalry leads them on a life-long battle for supremacy full of obsession, deceit and jealousy with dangerous and deadly consequences.
From the time that they first met as young magicians on the rise, Robert Angier (HUGH JACKMAN) and Alfred Borden (CHRISTIAN BALE) were competitors. However, their friendly competition evolves into a bitter rivalry making them fierce enemies-for-life and consequently jeopardizing the lives of everyone around them.
Watched this with Jenny and Neil. Been wondering what's the mystery about this film on magic. 1 word after the movie - CAPTIVATING. You'll watch 2 magicians vying for the ultimate attention. Then attention gained is called The Prestige. Cause this means you are the greatest magician alive. They will try to guess and outperform each other's ultimate magic tricks.
The film is loaded with lots of flashbacks. It's abit confusing but each of this flashbacks will piece together and lead you to the ultimate answer, the ending. You'll never feel sleey watching this.
5/5 stars!
