But does it count as Sci-fi? Isn't magic a different thing?

Anyway only seen The Prestige once and it left me underwhelmed. Only seen Stalker once and it blew my mind.

The trick Hugh Jackman's character does using Tesla's machine is pure sci-fi to me and it's a major plot of the movie. Using an actual real life scientist for sure makes it sci-fi too

I didn't really think of The Prestige as science fiction but it is however one of my favourite Nolan films especially on a rewatch. What a film. :banderas2
