You mean to tell me that you disliked the best part of the movie?

That's very unfortunate because that ending was the prestige. The movie was in essence a trick. Or put another way a trick on the viewer's mind. The movie consisted of three acts: the pledge, the turn, and the prestige. You have to view it just as that, a magic trick. Some people will get it, some won't.

Thusly, it's a very clever and sophisticated movie. Sure, it has a lot of dialogue which may cause some to loose their way or turn them away.

You can have your cgi action vampires and werewolves which are a dime a dozen these days.

The Prestige is a rare jewel of a movie that isn't a bunch of cliches or the same ole same ole themes strung together. It's refreshingly different, if you dare to watch it.
