Looks amazing. Great cast, I'm sure good acting, unique storyline, and set in a great time period, a must see.

I saw the trailer tonight for the first time and it looks amazing. I'm really becoming a fan of Christopher Nolan. And anything with Scarlett Johansen is a winner in my book.

I saw this movie tonight. It was nothing short of phenomenal. All I will say about it is that you owe it to yourself to see it. See it before someone spoils it for you.

Memento is one of my all time favorite movies and the cast in this movie really is top notch. I plan on going to see it this weekend.

I thought the movie was really good. I don't recall ever seeing a movie with the same storyline.

I wish I could say more about it but I don't want to give anything away. I can say that High Jackman is just awesome and I got to see him without his shirt on!:D

Since it is a movie that can be spoiled in few words. You may want to make the trek to go see it. I don't think anyone will spoil it here, but some asshat at work or something could do it easily.

Some asshat could spoil it very easily and very quickly.

I'll be picking it up. The reviews so far are giving the video 5/5 for the BRD.

It is an awesome movie...

Maybe it hasn't been mentioned yet, but the "film style" is a treat for the eyes. Kind of like a sepia-tinged turn of the century carnival poster...

Ron... if I'm not mistaken, you're a Tim Burton fan. I think you'll appreciate this unique approach to art direction. If you remember the video for Tonight, Tonight by The Smashing Pumpkins... it's sort of in the same vein.

edit: scratch all of that, I was thinking of The Illusionist:o :o :o

The Prestige is still an awesome movie. I want to buy it, but I think I'll wait until I pick a high def format.

Yes, the Illusionist is an excellent film, I love the way in which is was filmed, just beautiful. Great cast and very good acting. Some reviews I've read say it's better then The Prestige. I'll find out on Tuesday, can't wait.

Although at the time, I liked the Prestige, after seeing both, the Illusionist wins this one hands down. A much better film. Better PQ and just I felt, a better plot.

Let us know what you think when it comes out though.

Agreed.

Just watched it. Didn't like it. Too long, too choppy, too boring. It didn't hold my attention like the Illusionist.

And anything with Scarlett Johansen is a winner in my book.


I agree 100%. She is my hero. I have been Netflixing ALL of her movies, even the romantic ones just to see her. Best of all, shes less than a year older than me! Now if I could only become famous....

I agree that the Illusionist was better, but I still enjoyed this one.

The Illusionist was much more about Cinemetography, and an eerie sense of mystery, while the Prestige was more of an actual story of revenge and rivalry.

Both were good in their own right, I just enjoyed the Illusionist a bit more.

I just bought The Prestige on Bluray today without seeing it first or reading any reviews. Will be getting to it tonight once the wife gets home from work. Hopefully I won't be disappointed! :D

I give the nod to the Illusionist. The Prestige was OK, but it plodded along for me.

Also, I personally think Jessica Biel is hotter than Scarlett Johansen.

I really liked the movie. I found it to be a little slow but nonetheless, very good acting and interesting plot.

Also as an extra bonus the transfer is absolutely stunning on Blu-ray. Not a speck of film grain, no edge enhancement, great contrast, vivid colors, overall one of the best looking titles I have seen to date. :cool:

Yes, the Blu-Ray review was near flawless quality.

I just saw this film last night. I give it a 6.5 on the Venom scale. It was pretty good but nothing spectacular. I did like the Te*** references. The acting was good, HJ's best performance, CB's usual performance (excellent). Put me in the Illusionist was better camp.

Plus, I do not think a fight between Wolverine and Batman is fair...

Hahaha, oh. I edited my post then.... whoops.

Not really much of a spoiler but... I don't wanna be that guy.
