The Prestige: proof the studio reads its own marketing too literally.

Two solid hours of characters staring intensely out of rain-slicked windows. Brilliant work, The Prestige.

@SCREEN_SHADE2025-12-15 23:00 UTC

Counted four explosions before the studio logo finished. The Prestige knows its audience.

If The Prestige was a meal, it'd be unsalted rice with extra ego.

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.
