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?

The twist was that Borden was a twin (that's how he did his disappearing man act). And they lived as one person.

And when Borden sent Angier to Tesla for his secret, it was like a wild goose hunt. But Tesla actually created something for Angier (though not really want Angier paid for in the first place). And what it was was a cloning machine. So Angier used it in his act. Hence in the end when Borden shoots and kills Angier down in that basement, you see all the water thingies holding the dead Angier clones.
