Great movie. I dont understand why it was dismissed by so many people when it was first released. Spoilers!!!!! Aside from the fact the ending was NOT arbitrary but was not only foreshadowed several times and the fact that it ties into the films themes but theres another thing that nobody mentions. People complain that the film veers off into sceience fiction and the supernatural at the end, but I never really bought that. Technichally the idea of a machine that can split you into two people is science fiction, but I dont think it really played that away nor did I think it did any harm to the film. Honestly the way that people complain about it you would think the magicians learned real magic themseleves but this is not true. Angier simply procured a machine that could do something incredible. One thing this film is specific about is the importance that machines and gadgets play into magic acts. This was simply the greatest gadget of them all.
