The Prestige

The movie The Prestige is really good. Great setup (feuding magicians) and cool twists. Well worth a watch.

I saw that a couple weeks ago and really enjoyed it. I found it to be quite melancholy at the end.

I had a moment of geeky amusement when Andy Serkis’ character said to Angier “I can’t believe you managed to guess what all the guests had in their pockets!”

There’s a fairly amusing parody of the movie here (don’t read it unless you’ve seen it, spoils the entire movie)

Being both a professional magician and a physicist I went into the movie with a bit of trepidation.

They did mess around with the history of magic a lot and I got a lot of the twists before they were revealed, but still a lot of fun. Not for everyone though.
