I absolutely loved this movie! I went to see both this and The Illusionist, and I must say I enjoyed this one more. Not that the Illusionist wasn't good, it just was a bit slow in places and the reveal was okay, but nothing like the one in The Prestige! I went to see it with my Dad, stepmom and brother and everyone but my Dad agreed that this movie was superior. My Dad (who actually is an amateur magician) said that The Illusionist celebrated the magic while The Prestige celebrated the trick. Personally, being from the Penn & Teller school of skeptics, that's why I think I prefered The Prestige. It provided a cool explanation of things and everyone gave a really great preformance.
