The Prestige

The Prestige- PG-13

By Jonathan Goodsell

Wow, what to say about this movie. It reminds me of The Sixth Sense in the fact that you can't tell much without giving the whole movie away. The Prestige is the story of two friends, Robert Angier (Hugh Jackman) and Alfred Borden (Christian Bale), who become rival magicians. Borden gets the perfect trick, and Angier becomes obsessed with figuring out the secret and making it better. I know it's vague, cause there is so much more to the movie. You'll just have to go see this one for yourself

The whole movie was fantastic. There is nothing bad I can say about it. Christopher Nolan creates another masterpiece that you'll watch time and time again trying to figure it out. It makes you think just like Nolan's later movie Inception does. The acting was all fantastic. The all-star crew of Jackman, Bale, Michael Caine, and Scarlett Johansson are really what made the movie great. I don't think it would have been as good if the cast was different. Wow, I've actually run out of things to say. The movie was just.... stunning. It was, dare I say, perfect; or as perfect as a movie can get. Christopher Nolan really knows how to make a good movie. I'm excited to see more of his work come out in the future.

The whole show was mysterious and a little dark. There are several disturbing scenes. Unlike other reviews, I'm not going to give examples or details cause I can't without ruining the show. There is nothing inappropriate, but several scenes are kind of disturbing. Definitely not a family show,  it's something for your older teens and up.

I just can't express how much I loved this show. It's just so amazing. I feel so bad about such a short review for such an excellent movie, but it really just speaks for itself. I highly encourage everybody to go see it for themselves if you haven't seen it yet. So in my reviewer opinion, The Prestige gets a magical 9/10
