I just got back from seeing it. I really enjoyed it, there were a lot of plot twists and such. And Christian Bale, who might just be one of the most beautiful men alive. And David Bowie as Nikola Tesla! And Thomas Edison's hired thugs (which turns out to be historically accurate)!

Edit:// And Scarlett Johannsen was actually watchable! And it had the dude who played "Gollum!"

Anyone else see it? What did you think of it?

Please tell me you're kidding.
SJ absolutly sucked in that movie. Her accent was horrible, and I didn't buy her at all. I mean, I liked her in other films, but this just wasn't her role. She can't do period pieces for shit.

As for The Prestige, it was okay. To me, it was too much like The Illusionist (which I enjoyed better). Edward Norton did a much better job than Hugh Jackman and Christian combined.

Anyways, it was like a repeated movie for me. (Though the stories aren't the same).
This is how BOTH movies went:
1. In the beginning, they showed a clip that happened later. Then it went back to reality.
2. It then went to that clip later on in the movie, and it started to go one revealing the truth.
3. Right at the very end, both movies showed quick clips that revealed the truth.

If you look at the format, they are much alike.
