It's an understatement to say that The Prestige is an underappreciated gem. If you dive deep enough you'll see its a masterclass in detail oriented story telling. The intricate plot lines, filled with twists (more than you realize after first viewing) and turns, unfold like an elaborate magic trick. It's actually structured like a trick and fools most of the audience into thinking there are science fiction aspects in the movie but if you obsessively pay attention you'll realize that there is no actual science fiction that takes place in the movie . It has a super atmospheric feel and aesthetic which immerses you in its world of illusion and brutal rivalry.
