good product bought after viewing the new batman movie and same actors in it.decide that ebay was the easiest and most conveniene place to source it and it was delivered quickly
This was an out of the blue buy, simply because it was cheap. However I was more than pleasantly surprised! The casting was perfect for the gripping - and always surprising - plot.
The story of magician one-upmanship sounds amusing, but Nolan manages to turn it into something much more sinister, until even the audience are desperate to know... just how does he do it?
A fantastic film, though perhaps not one for the kids. If you like this, you may also enjoy "The Illusionist".
Excellent film, didn't want to take my eyes off it, and you shouldn't as you might miss something, so many twists to the story it was great. A real must to watch.
Excellent film, kept you in suspense right till the end with a special added twist. However you need to watch the film carefully to be aware of what is going on.
I purchasd the dvd firstly because it was HD and I had read alot about the film but had not seen it. The film certainly lived up to the reviews I had read and the quality of the picture was definitely much better in HD. A very clever film that keeps your attention until the end. Great performances by all involved.
I decided to buy it because its subject matter was very different to the usual crash, bang,wallop of modern special effects fims/it is a period film so it won`t date/and I happen to like all the stars. Having seen it I must say it is a very intriguing film and although I did finally work it out I will now watch it again to see the story pan out without having to concentrate on sussing out the end . An excellent film which is very different.
Brilliant film, slight twist ongoing throughout the film. Very clever! Had seen it once before but wanted the DVD for my own pleasure. Highly recommended
When I first bought this I wasn't expecting too much from it. The story sounded as if it could be a little boring and after about a month of having the DVD i finally watched it. Wow! This is one of the best films I have seen in a long time. The story is engrossing and keeps you hooked from the second you start watching. There are lots of plot twists which make you gasp. The acting by the leads is some of the best I have seen, the music fits the mysterious nature of the film... This is just a great movie that everyone should see. 9.5/10
This one of the best film i have ever seen! The twists and turns in it, that at the end of the film, you'll be so confused and yet amazed at how it all works out! Would highy recomend!
I was really surprised by this film - I watched it due the cast but was sceptical about the plot. Without giving the game away it had a great ending that in the best tradition of a who dunnit was a complete surprise.
Cracking movie that I would not normally be attracted to watch. I watched it on Sky because my book '1001 movies to watch before you die' suggested it and I am glad it did. I bought the dvd after watching it so I can watch it again and again. Great cast and acting. Cracking narrative. Some nice twists that only fall into place in the last scene. Well worth seeing. I know you'll like it!
Fantastic film, need to watch it more than once, once you know the twists; but that makes it even more enjoyable, that you get to watch it multiple times and enjoy it more each time. Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale are both excellent and Im sure the ladies will agree that a bit of topless Hugh Jackman never goes amiss! lol!
This is a film about two main characers played by Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale - they are two aspiring magicians who start as friends and end as bitter rivals, slow in the first half but the twists, turns and brilliant ending will make you think abut the story all night long - you will even want to watch it again as the second time you will pick up things that you missed! thoroughly enjoyable
Not to be missed! Very good movie. Once you watch it , you will want to watch it over and over again. This movie surely will entertain you, in every possible way!
saw a clip of it on jonathan ross and thought it looked good, ~ it was. explains the magic show, and the extra bit that made the film, almost like real magic the prestige mirros and slight of hand can get you so far, but if you got the real thing, whi needs it? good film wirth watching.
this is an amazing film which will have you spellbound from beginning to end. the twists and turns are spellbinding and the ending will have you gasping for more
The Prestige manages to hold the audience in the palm of its hand, even when you already know exactly how the movie’s embattled rival Victorian magicians pulled off their most secret illusions – the huge twists at The Prestige’s dark core. The stylish adaptation of Priest’s book is packed with hidden depths and double meanings which stand out for people watching a second time, making this DVD a worthwhile purchase, even if the extras are shorter than Scarlett Johansson’s corset.

I loved Batman Begins by Christopher Nolan and also starrin Bale as Batman so had high hopes for this. I saw a couple of posters for it but never saw any trailers. Watched it last nite and couldn't take my eyes off it. It is the best film I've seen in agesssss. It's about 2 magicians from Victorian times tryna get one up on the other. Great twists and turns and the end is pure quality.
