Force? It doesn't appeal to you, you mean? Or is it the sitting still for 103 minutes?

I enjoyed this film! A nicely choreographed atmosphere throughout. And an amazing score by Philip Glass!

Loved it, loved it, loved it.

"The Prestige" was also wonderful, but they're very different films.

I saw the Illusionist on a plane back in December. I thought it was pretty good.

I saw it a while back, very good, and I didn't see the twist coming.

I loved it, espeically the twist at the end as I wasn't expecting that at all.

I first saw this on the movie channel. It was so good I went out & bought it that night, I never do that. I loved this movie because they said what they needed to say when they needed to say it, they also did what they needed to do when they needed to do it - no waiting, no messing around. It was perfect. I really like this movie. I felt bad about the prince... his choice though.
