Customer Ratings & Reviews

This movie will keep you guessing a it’s amazing! It will make you think and see things in a different aspect.

If you like magic and illussion see this movie, great acting as always from Christian Bale and Hugh Jackman.

The great thing about The Prestige is that the first time you watch the movie it completely messes with your mind. But what truly makes it a modern classic is that it’s highly re-watchable. There are so many layers to this movie but ultimately I feel it’s about obsession and how certain driven individuals place their pursuit of making history and claiming greatness over dedicating themselves to their family and the ones they love. And ultimately that comes at a very heavy cost. But if you do not want to get that deep with the film it’s a viscerally thrilling ride all the way through and nicely blends authentic magic with a touch of science fiction to further heighten the sense of being in a forbidden world where tragedy, magic, revenge, and obsession intersect. The 4K image is glorious in revealing richer colors and really fine details that the Blu-ray cannot match and the lossless sound definitely pulls you into the world of early 20th century London as well as Nikolai Teslas hidden laboratory in Colorado. Highly recommended for Nolan fans and those who enjoy mindbending, psychological dramas.

Awesome movie!!! Very creative! Two desperate Magicians competing for stardom, legacy and Live!!

This is a great movie that holds your attention all the way through. I have seen it before, but I wanted to purchase a copy to add to my collection of favorite movies. Good buy at a good price.

This is a very artful and well-crafted story, taking place at the cusp of the twentieth century, of a bitter rivalry between two nineteenth-century magicians who have their professional beginnings working together for the same act and coming into their own later on (even sabotaging each other’s shows). The story isn’t unveiled chronologically, but follows separate timelines loosely similar to ‘Momento’ (another Nolan film). (Though, rather than tattoos, there are diaries.) Emphasized is both an honor of devotion and the reality of personal obsession. Acting is terrific throughout with even (but not fast) pacing. I appreciate the reveal (prestige) of the film for the character motives and not the craftiness of the methods themselves. Technically (A/V), there is a noticeable difference in the 4K vs. Blu-ray. (I own a Samsung 65” TV.) At times, the 4K is very impressive in terms of sharpness and color. Though, maintaining a healthy filmic look, it’s still probably not what some would say “reference-quality” for picture. Sound isn’t either; though, I perceived a great difference in the DTS (4K) and the quieter LPCM (BR) tracks. Already owning a Blu-ray disc, obtaining the digital copy sealed the deal for my upgrade.

I love movies that keep you in suspense and make you think. This is definitely one of these movies!

A inside look at how magic tricks are done and a bitter rivalry between to former apprentices

This is a great movie and my favorite Christopher Nolan movie besides the Dark Knight Trilogy.

Wow, this is better than I remember. Great performances all around. And what a twist

In my opinion this is one of Nolan’s finest films, was excited to find the uhd blu-Ray.

Great movie, great story, great writing, a must watch all the way through the end.

Well shot movie. Mostly for adults. Great action and keeps you thinking the whole time!

This movie is good enough that I'm buying two more DVD's to give as gifts.

Prestige is a lot better than i remembered...forgot all the twists and turns.

the film was esquisitly produced with a great cast and great story line

This movie will keep you at the edge of your seat. Great acting and story.

Great movie, good old fashioned American fun! Chris Evans does an amazing Job!

Nolan's gorgeous period-drama about two rival magicians makes a wonderful addition to the UHD home format. Like all of the Nolan 4K releases, this new transfer was created using the films original camera negative and supervised by Nolan and his director of photography. The film is complex with rich characters and a chilling climax. While not very successful upon its initial theatrical release, the film is beloved by all who stumble upon it now. The new 4K transfer looks beautiful and while some will complain about the lack of a new Atmos audio track, this decision was left to Nolan and I respect his choice to reuse the original 5.1 lossless from the bluray release. For a more in depth review of the transfer please follow the link below but all told this new release comes highly recommended by this reviewer. http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/The-Prestige-4K-Bluray/193521/#Review
