We went to watch the move “The Prestige” today (Pre-order DVD). Very good movie. It is part scifi, part mystery, and part drama. The fast switching between threads and the back-and-forth timeline keep the audience on the edge all the time. (Remember, this is from the director who brought us Momento). This is simply excellent story telling. And there is a surprise ending where the magic is revealed and the real life begins — “the prestige” — so to speak.

The real world rivalry between Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison presented in the SciFi context is just hilarious.

Anyway, I like it a lot. If you are geek, you probably would too. Go watch it.
