The Prestige is the good one. I did not like The Illusionist at all, but a lot of people did. My unscientific perception is that among people who saw both, and liked both, liked The Prestige better.

I liked both, but I preferred the style of The Illusionist over The Prestige. Both, to me, worth a rental.

I will say that The Illusionist was prettier. But I just didn't like the story being told so all of the acting (fine except for Sewell) and cinematography was for naught.

And I don't mean to imply that everybody likes The Prestige more, just that my sense is that on average the cohort likes The Prestige more.
