The Prestige
The Prestige
Set in London in the 1800s, two rival magicians read each others diary containing the secrets of their magic tricks and personal life. As we go back in time when the diaries were written, both magicians become obsessed with their rival's best trick. The tricks, as shown to the audience, look the same, but neither magician can figure out how his opponent does it.

Honestly. I get what the movie was going for but... it is way too simplistic. The whole science part of it was seriously underwhelming. And the characters motives for doing what they do, seems a bit flimsy after a while. The acting is also not the greatest. And I expected much more from the twist as well. Funnily enough the twist is exactly like they say in the movie, too simple.
The science stuff and the magic is unfortunately what could have made this movie super interesting, and it is barely explored. Disappointing.
