I enjoyed The Prestige...until it was ruined by the very silly ridiculous and possibly certifiably mad cop-out of a denouement.

Depends on how you take the film.Some people think that the duplicator never worked in the film and it was a con by Angier, see:
www.imdb.com/title/tt0482571/faq#.2.1.31
And the FAQ just below it.
It is an interesting thing to think about, considering a lot of the movie is seen through the points of view of the characters reading intentionally deceitful accounts of each other's time.
When the main characters are all magicians, and in some sense they're the narrators, what can you trust?
Personally loved it.
