16. The Prestige (3.45/5)

This is again a great movie. The story is great, there are just times that I want to hasten up the story. I don't know, it could be because I cannot understand some of what they are saying because of the accent, maybe the audio from our computer's speaker is so low, or maybe I just need subtitles? 

Well. There is no bad comment on the story, the acting is good. But... there is just this one element that makes the movie boring. 

There are too much talkies, few actions. It could have been better if they had use whooping music backgrounds, cool shots. But the story is good, and there is a great moral lesson in the end. I just feel a little disappointed because they could have made it more effective. If the moral lesson is compared to an arrow, I can say that it struck my chest, but only 1/4 of my heart. 

AWW! I hate it, the story is great, why do I find it boring??

Lesson of the movie: Passion is healthy, obsession is unhealthy. Specially if your motives are so selfish, and would harm other people. Imagine Angier wanting to surpass Alfred's trick, where in fact it is just so simple. Sometimes, the want to be best is unhealthy, passion changing in to greed, in to revenge. Angier made a fool of himself, wasting money, wasting time, and wasting the better part of life.

Cristopher Nolan really has the talent in making suspense movies. It's just that-- he needs to lessen the talkies. The story of inception is super great, and good thing the structure of the backgrounds leaves the audience mesmerized. But he also needs to make the story simpler.. or easier to understand. He likes flashblacks, and the time is always distorted. Sometimes, you can't help but get confused if the scene happening is on the present time or on the past.

I need to rewatch this movie on a TV screen, watching it on a computer screen with internet connection gives me a lot of distractions! Waaaa. Attention span, getting shorter! Haaaizz.

I give this movie a 3.45/5
