Has anyone seen this amazing movie yet? It is a must see, I recommend it!

It has such an interesting and loving twist that it captures you in many ways; like your mind and your heart because of the atmosphere and the enchanting music that reveals throughout the whole thing. Edward Norton and Jessica Biel were perfect for the roles and perfomed beautifully. Overall it was just well done.

So much symbolism that it can confuse some if you don’t pay attention or won’t see it but nonetheless it has amazing scenes that you could just enjoy if you don’t care about it. The Red Hooded scene for example was unique and is one the key events to understand what’s going on and what was about to transpire next. It also explained about the concept of "what is a soul" on his point of view of course.

(my personal intake ^^)

So did anyone else enjoy this stunning film? And what was it that you like or disliked about it, favorite scene? Discuss ^_^

I'm planning on seeing this, but I refuse to watch it so soon after seeing "The Prestige". Despite the fact that their plots aren't that similar, I'd be constantly comparing this one to the other.

I heard about it but never bothered to watch it. Though I'll buy it when it comes out, I don't go to cinema these days.

What a wonderful movie. Edward Norton plays a magician who is extremely talented at creating illusions. He is so good at what he does, that he ends up in Vienna, doing a show for the royalty. It is there where he meets his childhood love, who is about to be married. What happens next, is pure spoilers.

I was blown away by this movie. I like Edward Nortons acting (Mmmmm, Fight Club), and Jessica Biels gave the right amount of feminine appearance to the movie to keep the romance level enjoyable.
