Review: Great movie - One of my wife’s favorite movies Review: From a Student's Perspective, Ashley E. - In the movie, The Prestige, directed by Christopher Nolan, the audience is introduced to two rival illusionists, Alfred Borden (Christian Bale) and Robert Angier (Hugh Jackman), each fighting to be the best in the business with the best performed and planned out illusions. The movie follows both men in their quest to becoming a brand name spoken by many while also sabotaging each other when given the opportunity. Both men are obsessed with being on top no matter the cost, ignoring the danger signs and consequences that come with living the life they do, ending to each man's own demise. Both illusionists are first seen working together as part of a crew of illusionists, the rivalry only truly starting after the loss a loved one of Angier, Julia McCullough (Piper Perabo). Throughout the rest of the movie, the conflict between Borden and Angier continues and is brilliantly portrayed by Bale and Jackman, each man bringing life and depth to their characters. The characters Angier and Borden share similar qualities such as obsessiveness and dedication when it comes to illusions, possibly the root of their dislike for each other, neither willing to face the flaws mirrored in the other. These qualities lead each man to destroy their relationships with those around them such as Borden’s wife, Sarah Borden (Rebecca Hall), the men’s shared love interest. Olivia Wenscombe (Scarlett Johansson), and finally Angier’s good friend Henry Cutter (Michael Caine). The story is told in a series of flashbacks, loopholes, and plot twists that can leave the viewer thoroughly confused if they were to not pay attention and miss any crucial details. This structure stays true to Nolan’s style of leaving the viewer’s interest piqued as well as always questioning what’s right in front of them, keeping them invested long after the movie is over. The flashbacks give insight into both men’s point of view as they grow in skill and in obsession over defeating the other. This layers the scenes, creating a story within a story effect, similar to the themes found in another of Nolan’s movies, Inception. The shots taken and lighting used to present the story only further add to the tones of mystery and intrigue that travels along with all Nolan directed films. The scenes are darker, with dull tones and drowned out colors to better represent dramatic storyline and emotional damage that follows both men. The scenes show just enough to keep the viewer wanting and looking for more clues to help figure out the secrets being kept by the characters, to better understand them even. Every piece of the puzzle creates a simply tasteful and complex story between two men plagued by an obsession to be the greatest, blinding each to the other important things in life. Overall, The Prestige is definitely a must watch movie for those that are ready to question everything and be taken along for the ride that is the lives both Borden and Angier. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Contributor | Andy Serkis, Based On The Novel By Christopher Priest, Christian Bale, Christopher Nolan, David Bowie, Hugh Jackman, Michael Caine, Piper Perabo, Rebecca Hall, Scarlett Johansson, Screenplay By Jonathan Nolan and Christopher Nolan Contributor Andy Serkis, Based On The Novel By Christopher Priest, Christian Bale, Christopher Nolan, David Bowie, Hugh Jackman, Michael Caine, Piper Perabo, Rebecca Hall, Scarlett Johansson, Screenplay By Jonathan Nolan and Christopher Nolan See more | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 12,134 Reviews | | Format | 4K, 4K, NTSC, Subtitled | | Genre | Action/Adventure | | Initial release date | 2006-01-01 | | Language | English, French, Spanish | ## Product Details - **Format:** 4K, 4K, NTSC, Subtitled - **Genre:** Action/Adventure - **Initial release date:** 2006-01-01 - **Language:** English, French, Spanish ## Images ![The Prestige - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71C7JYX2a6L.jpg) ![The Prestige - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81KC5L52gKL.jpg) ![The Prestige - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91vn2nQeVeL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great movie *by M***R on May 6, 2026* One of my wife’s favorite movies ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ From a Student's Perspective, Ashley E. *by R***N on April 6, 2016* In the movie, The Prestige, directed by Christopher Nolan, the audience is introduced to two rival illusionists, Alfred Borden (Christian Bale) and Robert Angier (Hugh Jackman), each fighting to be the best in the business with the best performed and planned out illusions.

You want to be fooled." *by M***E on March 27, 2007* I heard of "The Prestige" when it came out on DVD, but I didn't know too much about it. Saw some commercials for it here and there, but I wasn't sure if it was something that I had to see right away. It wasn't until I went to a store and saw that this was directed by none other than the brilliant Christopher Nolan (who directed my all-time favorite movie, "Memento"). That's all it took for me to buy the DVD without even really knowing what the movie was about. I didn't care. It had Nolan's name on it, and that's all I needed. I watched it the next day and couldn't believe how great this movie was. Not only that, but I ended up watching it again only a few hours after my first viewing. Unfortunately, there are so many twists and turns in this wild ride that I'll have to be brief in describing what it's about so I don't end up giving away something crucial (yeah, it's one of those where you give away one little thing, and it could possibly ruin the movie for the other person). As simplistic as I can put it the film concerns two magicians, Robert Angier and Alfred Borden. The two were quite the team and worked together splendidly until one night one of their well known tricks goes wrong and ends up costing Angier a loved one. He blames Borden for his loss and becomes obsessed with finding any means to out-show him, learn his secrets and destroy him. I know, this sounds like a typical "thriller," but that's really only a small outline of the movie. I had to keep it short and simple to avoid giving away too much. "The Prestige" works more as a drama/thriller/mystery. The entire theme of the movie is to "watch closely," and there's reason for that. You're not entirely sure what is going on until the very end, and even then you feel like you have to watch it again right away to verify what you've just witnessed. Nolan's great at playing head-games with you, and it's nice to see him dive intos that area of film again. Even though you're always trying to piece together what's going on, none of that takes away the enjoyment of watching these characters and how they interact in the environment around them. The look and feel of the film is very dark, but it looks so gorgeous. The performances from Hugh Jackman, Christian Bale and Michael Caine are perfect. Bale never ceases to amaze me in the roles he takes, as he commits himself a hundred percent every time. David Bowie even makes a small appearance in the film, and trust me when I say this, you do not see him as David Bowie on the screen. You buy into his character completely. It must be said, even though this is a PG-13 movie, it gets pretty disturbing and the overall tone of the movie is dark and cold. I wouldn't recommend it for children. The DVD doesn't offer a whole lot of features, which is a shame because I have the suspicion that they will re-release it in a "fully-loaded" edition later on (which I will have to go and buy). "The Prestige" is a total success, and then some. It's one of those movies that you have to watch more than once, and each time you see it (just like with "Memento"), chances are you're going to pick up on something that you didn't see the first time around. If you're looking for something different and unique, I strongly suggest giving this a try. It ranks up there as one of my top favorites of 2006. Nice to see that Christopher Nolan has made another fantastic movie and has proven that he's not just a one-trick pony. The movie may have a lot of twists and turns to keep you interested, but they never take away from the great story and characters.
