I saw this movie at a sneak preview and have to say I was very impressed at how Nolan was able to weave a complex narrative and for Bale and Jackman to execute it through their acting. I loved the fact that the story takes place at the turn of the century – not to mention the obvious allusion to film itself having been invented around that time and people thinking of it as a form of “visual magic.” The internal struggle each character faces as a result of the rivalry btw Bale and Jackman’s character comes off strongly, with very complimentary performance by Johansson and other female actors. Michael Caine’s character, as expected, is sort of that person who helps the story move along – though it’s Michael Caine so can’t really dismiss him as a “story device.” And finally, David Bowie is quite amusing as Nikola Tesla – fans will enjoy his cameo (actually he gets pretty good screen time). I’ve been a fan of Nolan since Memento and this one surely did not disappoint.
Rent this movie in Spain from FilmAmora.com
