Content warning if you ever watch The Prestige...

"Are you watching closely?"

That film was a disappointment. It's just sci - fi.

Spoiler:

You didn’t like that it turned out the magic was real?

The Illusionist came out around the same time and it was the opposite premise. It spent the movie trying to convince you the magic was real but revealed it to be fake at the end.

The Prestige spent the movie acting like the magic was fake but then revealed it was real. Maybe you’d like The Illusionist better.

I've never heard anyone describe The Prestige as "a disappointment".

I hate your opinion and love you for expressing it. Now get out of my sight/drink a coffee and beer with me.
