Review of The Illusionist (2006) by Cael M — 27 Jan 2013

It may be a little harsh to compare this to (in my opinion) the far superior The Prestige, but they were both released during the same year just 2 months away from each other. I watched The Prestige before The Illusionist so I was a little disappointed by The Illusionists' lack of fleshed out characters, and I wasn't all too engrossed in the story.

However, the climax, the performances, and the cinematography were all great, and I most likely would've been a tad more impressed with the movie had I not seen The Prestige before hand.
