The Prestige confuses "subtle" with "the cast forgot to act".

The Prestige: every character holds the idiot ball with both hands and a strap.

The science in The Prestige has the same relationship to physics that I have to going to the gym: aspirational.

The Prestige treats "worldbuilding" the way a toddler treats a fruit bowl — enthusiastically, briefly, then forgotten.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in The Prestige actually is?
Look, I wanted to love The Prestige. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in The Prestige?
Just got out of The Prestige and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in The Prestige?
Rewatched The Prestige last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.

The cinematography in The Prestige is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows
Honestly, The Prestige would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.
